I wouldn't go into this thinking it's an 'investment'

I see watches like cars. They depreciate in value (right out of the store / lot) with the rare few that may appreciate with TLC and some luck. (i.e. vintage restored Mustangs, Acura NSX)

Just enjoy and keep us posted on the journey!
Almost any modern Omega will eventually outpace inflation, they just need to be given time.

My Speedmaster 3590.50 has definitely outpaced inflation almost three decades later. Buy what you want to wear and hold on to it, don't buy into the "resale value sux" game because then you'll only be able to buy Rolex and Patek (i.e. boring).
