Which watch for a newbie?

[Stedman]

First and foremost, apologies for another 'what car/watch/dog/house/partner' thread.

I'm a bit of a watch newbie, and looking to buy my first 'nice' one. I've always liked both the GMT Master (Pepsi one) and the Submariner (has to have a blue face).

I've got a budget of around £3.5k to start with, but if I did decide on a Sub then i'd obviously pay the difference.

I wont be buying for a few months, but as per everything big I purchase, I want to do my research and to have options

All suggestions are welcome.

Thanks!

Depends what you are buying it for.Is it an investment, something to show off how much money you have or purely because you just want a nice watch.Do research by all means but don't depend on a bunch of faceless individuals on the internet to tell you how to spend your hard earned cash.Everyone has different tastes.

Good advice, so good infact I thought someone would say this

I've asked as people may mention a watch that I may like. I'm not one to bow to pear pressure or do an impulse buy because another says I should. I'm quite safe, even if I have asked faceless individuals for their opinions.

It's a watch because i'd like a nice watch really. An investment would be a lovely bonus, I really wouldn't want anything that loses a great deal.

Thanks again P7'

As said, it depends on whether you're buying for an investment or because you really love the watch.
I bought a deepsea because I really love the watch but I rarely wear it but bought my IWC aquatimer and it's never off my wrist.

Hope I didn't come across to harsh, but it really is all down to personal taste.
