I am 21 and I am considering purchasing a watch for an everyday wear at the office, or at play.
The conditions i really want is that the watch should be luxury sport, automatic chrono.
I've set my eyes on the Tag Carrera Daydate. however, my parents have told me about watch resale values and how Tags dont have them compared to rolex and IWC. This really troubles me because it seems that the closer i get to buying an "investment watch" with premium branding, the less it seems that it can be an everyday watch. So what do you guys think? Is the tag carrera really personal garbage forever once i buy it? what about the IWC Spitfire?
and steel strap, no leather as sweat makes it.. uncool
what brands do u suggest between IWC, breitling, and Tag
Answer
You don't buy a watch as an investment. Only watches in the $10,000 plus range hold their value, and even then, they rarely go up much. Unless you are fascinated by the differences in the internal workings (say, triple axis tourbillon vs. flying tourbillon), watches are jewelry, and you should buythem as such. Buy the one you think looks best, and buy the next one based on the variety it adds to your wardrobe.
As for other brands, for men I like Audemars Piguet, Breguet, Baume & Mercier, and Patek Phillipe. Most steel Tags are great "working watches," since they are automatics, and I actually think their leather Carrera's are beautiful and nothing to look down upon.

How would I start off a men's luxury watch shop?

I have always wanted a luxury men's watch shop in manchester city centre, my dads a dubai business man and can give me the funding, not all but SOME! I'm not spoilt so don't judge me, thank you:)
Answer
is there a demand for this? i can't see it considering time wears aren't as popular as once was.
it's a poor investment i would think.
and spoiled? now, why would you assume as such? did we accuse you of this?
no... besides i still don't see the demand for specialty shops such as this. i'd rather it be a sports and travel shop for the more distinguished active lifestyle male.
now that's something to get into and ADD the luxury time pieces as a 'secondary' item.
