How much would I need to spend?

A Seiko would probably be the nearest but I suspect it won't be prestigious enough.
Full in house movements which stack-up just as well as those of far more expensive Swiss manufactures. Because they are relatively cheap to buy in the first place the depreciation is insignificant.
However as they fail the Veblen test, the answer is probably a Rolex.

Yeah, "Ooo you've got a Seiko!" isn't often heard! Full in house movements which stack-up just as well as those of far more expensive Swiss manufactures. Because they are relatively cheap to buy in the first place the depreciation is insignificant.

So any Rolex? Am I looking at a budget of about £2k?
Does it have to be new? A used Omega, Sinn, IWC, vintage Heuer (not TAG), Tudor etc will have essentially deprecated enough that you won't lose come re-sale. Models like the Speedmaster and Seamaster are always popular and as new retail prices rise, the second hand market will creep up or at least stay static.

Probably nearer £4K to secure one that is more or less depreciation proof. Even then you will have to be led up to avoid the "cost" associated with using of a trustworthy dealer.So any Rolex? Am I looking at a budget of about £2k?
