Houses cost a bomb - some older ones have charm and character.
Cars lose money fast.
and birds are a combination of the two above, either way with my average looks I'm hardly in a position to be fussy.

Excellent point. Although at the same time if you can get a big purchase on 0% with the option repay early it seems silly not to. (coming from someone with a low salary)

Oh I am not dissing paying on 0% finance one bit. If you can't afford it outright or need the extra disposable income then it's a no brainer.
But the suggestion that saying that getting a new watch (rather than a perfectly good £3-4k second hand mint Sub) makes them feel that they've earned it AND paying for it on finance is jokes.

Both my Rollys are second hand, bought my Cartier new. Think you are missing the point.

good point that.
a decent watch is something ive wanted for a while and im not bothered about having someone else's hand me down. if it saves me £2k then why not?! im not in a position where £2k doesn't matter to me.
just wanted some non-salesperson advice on which models are the more desirable etc.

As everyone has said, if you are not precious about having something pre-owned (I'm not and as a result every watch I've had has been second hand) then buy a used one. You will get a much better deal. I'm not that up on prices these days as not in the market, but 3k should get you a nice pre-owned Submariner. Possibly the most iconic/timeless watch of all time and looks good with a suit or shorts and a t-shirt. Just buy that.

Tool watches are designed for a particular purpose first, dive watches being the obvious example.

just a pure luxury item these days to show off, lets be honest

You won't find me on a Yacht with my YM either
but some might argue that high build quality and superior craftsmanship IS a luxury these days.
