·1.) New = 3 Watches 8.6%
2.) Same = 3 Watches 8.6%
3.) Vintage = 32 that I know of, +15~20 that are somewhere and I can't remember exactly.
91.43%

I'm basing the answers to questions 2 and 3 on the assumption my pieces are not vintage (I've seen varying definitions of it)... my oldest piece is a 2531.80, purchased new in 2005 but that particular model had been around since well before that - 1993, I think. So we're talking 26 years at this point. I don't know if that's vintage. Still seems like a modern Seamaster to me, so I'm assuming not vintage for my answers.
On the topic of pre-owned vs. new - nothing wrong with pre-owned, I would just prefer to buy new (not saying full price per se, but new). There are several models I missed out on over the years though so I'll be looking out for nice pre-owned examples now.

·Having a hard time deciding where to include "not modern but not always accepted as vintage" and "modern but look vintage".
Two of the definitely vintage (now) were purchased new.

··Ash @ ΩFI don't know the percentage as I don't have any idea how many watches I own but...
I bought 7 new from Omega and still own 5 of those, mostly LE Speedmasters
Most of them are watches that would have cost more to buy used than new though like the Speedy Tuesday etc, or the Apollo 8 Darkside that was really hard to get initially.

·One Omega new
50% vintage
50% modern
I'm all in with Omega. But also own a micro brand and vintage JLC.
The above represent the watches I plan to keep. I have 6 watches I'm going sell, those are not included in my stats.
