Finally got to a stage in life when i would like to purchase a nice watch. Far from wealthy but always wanted and now in a position to do so. I would like pass onto my son, so looking for something that will hold good value and i think this will be a one time purchase so need to make the right decision. I realise its all down to personal choice but interested in your views.
Watches i like...
1. Zenith 3600
2. S/S Daytona
3. Bremont alt1-c
4. Rolex sub. I like the older slate serti dial, not sure the newer blue or black is right for me.

Looking to wear everday if possible. Saved up about 8k, its alot of money to me but after 25years of morgage and 3 kids im ready to treat myself.

Any thoughts.......

£8K I'm guessing from the OP.

I would go Rolex for sure, can't really go too wrong.

Pick some you like, try them on, and go for the one that does it for you.
