Any suggestions for £2000 - £2500 ?
Discussion
OK, so new & something a bit different.
Jura http://www.jurawatches.co.uk/ stock Bremont, Oris, Sinn & Fortis.
You could also look at Anonimo, Glycine & UTS to name a few.
That lot should keep you busy for a while.

Not really interested in a secondhand one to be honest.
Something a little different I think.
I'm not overly keen on the standard safe choices - speedmaster / carrera etc.
Something that holds it's value quite well would be nice, but not essential.
I am not sure you will get a new Monaco from a UK AD for £2000-2500, they are closer to £4000 now.... Something a little different I think.

Some cracking suggestions there from Andy; check out Ball Watches at Jura as well, they are well worth a look. Jura http://www.jurawatches.co.uk/ stock Bremont, Oris, Sinn & Fortis.

£2.5K limits you to a Monaco with small seconds, but if you're really after a chronograph version, I'd have a chat with our very own Dom H (Profile: http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/profile.asp?mem...) and see what he can do for you. Lots of us have bought and sold through him and I know he can provide some good discounts on Tag watches
Failing that, as Luke said, have a look at Ball! The Hydrocarbon range incorporates some impressive specs at bargainous prices. The range starts at about £1180, but you're looking at 300M water resistance, ETA movements modified to withstand -40C temperatures, tritium constant glow gas tubes, anti-magentic, shock resistant, patented crown protection system and, if you opt for one with a bracelet, hidden diver extensions.

Note: Specs vary for different model lines, but the above is true for watches in the Hydrocarbon series.

Highly recommended.Get out and try some on to get a feel what what you do/don't like, you've got a fair old choice up to £2500 and you'll want to be happy with your purchase.
Jura Watches offer a 30 day refund policy should you choose to purchase from them and that includes mail order (click on their Returns and Exchanges link under Customer Services), they have a range of watches not sold by your typical Goldsmiths/Ernest Jones stores, and while I haven't personnally used him Dom H at Hackett Watches is someone who may be able to help you out £ wise
If you're concerned about something holding it's value then you'll really need to consider pre-owned.
