I would go for the SS Sub. I wear a rep SS Sub and everyone thinks its a Gen. Now in my position at work an $8,000 dollar watch is doable for me. I would stay away from watches more expensive because they fall out of my financial status. The Rolex Sub is a classic and a great watch to begin your collection of Gens. Someday you will get the gen PO. In the meanwhile get a rep PO and the gen Sub. Just my opinion.

Your bonus isn't nearly enough to buy the Rolex so score that off the list. ;)

I think ill raise the extra cash and get the Rolex :D if I put £20 away every week I'll have around £3k to add to the £3k bonus so it is doable. The rolex will stay with me forever. So I'm not too worried about resale value. My mind is set and thank you all for your input on my decision.

 

 

Cheers,

Buy what you want. I don't buy a car for the resale value, I buy it because I want to enjoy it. On that hand, don't overextend yourself ($$$)... It's a bad road to start down :)

Two odd choices given they're very different watches in style and how they wear.

 

 

Omega.

 

 

Too many run of the mill mid-level business people own a Rolex, it's too damn common, well, these entry level models are. I'd say it comes down to whether you want to separate yourself from the crowd. IMO the PO would do that more than the Rolex, you'll still get the "oh, nice watch" comments but without the automatic stigma of people immediately assuming it's a fake, especially given your age.

I wouldn't even be thinking of which to buy yet...who knows what new models will appear in 4 years?

 

But I like your idea of saving some extra until it's time to buy.

To be honest save this money you may need it on the road of life. Only buy a Gen when you can really afford it and never on the knock.

Rep Rolex won't get close as Omega.

Sorry, but this needs to be said. Save the money and invest it, when you get it... 4 years from now.... :( Then, when you are making serious money, if you still want to buy a gen go for it. You earned it. Enjoy the reps in the interim.

I would recommend only getting expensive gens that you don't envision having to resell. In particular, only buy watches that are timeless, classic, and iconic, and which you will be proud to wear even twenty years from now, and even as your watch collection grows.

Well.. it solely depends on your taste. I have a gen rolex submariner ceramic and a gen breitling superocean 44. Honestly, my breitling got more wrist time as the watch suits me more. It depends on your daily attire and your lifestyle then only pick a watch that suits you. Not a watch that everyone recommends.
