This thread upsets me. If you have 3k to spend, don't spend it on a watch! =/

Do you make a habit of telling others what they should and shouldn't spend their money on?

I am not sure why you would be feeling upset?

If you have the money spare and it's what you really want then why not?

Be careful with the sub it is just going through a fairly significant update so if you get the old one make sure you get some discount

the Omega has the best movement of the 3

tbh both the Sun and the SM are too small for my liking and as someone else suggested the planet ocean is worth looking at

I absolutely love the previous aquatimer range - if you found one of the last generation I would say snap that up (with internal bezel).

For me the IWC is the more interesting watch and you will not find youself sitting in a meeting with half a dozen other people wearing one - something that is likely with either of the others.

Rolex hold their value with a very buoyant used market (arguably because they are the watch brand people who don't know about watches, know about!).

They are all good watches.

The IWC will probably depreciate the most the moment you walk out of the AD, so if you go for that drive a hard bargain (it's also the one you are most likely to get a big discount on - second the Omega.)

Thanks for the advice Skidder, I'll be visiting some watch dealers tomorrow to see what deals I can do.
