Among the brands you mentioned, I would go for Omega. 

Their Co-Axial Escapement in most of their watches is very accurate and reliable.    Omega is also more recognisable and hopefully it will translate into a better resale value.

What environment will the watch be subjected to most of the time......dress, sports, water/scuba etc? This is a very important consideration for the type of watch you should get.

Within the brands as u mentioned, I'll go for Omega.

As for all time subjected watch, I'd suggest Ball if within the budget.

8k? I would go for a pre-owned Omega Speedmaster Professional.  Iconic, recognizable, historical and versatile.

If it's your first "expensive" watch, it would be better to buy a new one with full warranty. If you are buying pre-owned with expired factory warranty, be prepared to fork out more money if it needs repairs or service. For RM8k, there are many choices from Breitling, whether dress or sports model.  :Cheers:

you can't get omega with co-axial escapement with 8K unless it's a pre-owned. There should be plenty choices of new TAGs and MLs watches around that price?
