Im looking to get a watch that is between 38 and 40mm, it is my first watch so my budget is only £3k, I have been looking at the pelagos 39 and the grand seiko sgb225, I am still in school so I have to be able to wear it every day, any ideas on what I should get.

If you're still a student and need a good watch for daily use, buy a Seiko 5 or similar, and some index ETFs.

In other words, spend money on actual investments if you can, especially if you're young, as that will grow. After you have a good nest egg of investments, a sound strategy of investments well-maximized to make for a comfortable life, and all your needs and bills taken care of, and still have disposable income left over, then you can buy a watch using the rule that if you can't spend at least twice the amount ot costs with just the loose cash you have on hand, completely left over from taking care of all of the above, you can't really afford it. If you really want to be smart, apply the same rule to cars.
