Scarily £4K would be the Rolex starting point. I've had my eye on a Rolex Submariner - white gold with blue face and bezel which is just shy of £25K I've worked out that if I put some cash away every year then I'll be able to buy one when I'm 158.

I have a couple of G-Shocks that I use for work as they can cope with any abuse I give them.
My wife bought me a lovely Tissot Quadrato...
