Patience is your friend- keep an eye on watchrecon or on the classified’s here and look for private sellers with good rep and do your homework on the seller. Dealers will always charge a premium (that’s their business) and eBay is only good as a barometer if you look at what they have sold for, not what the asking (daydreaming) prices are listed for with BIN.
Watches aren’t good investment, except maybe for some Rolex models.
Thanks Folks for comments which is really helpful to a freshman. I do like the watch but I'm wonderring if the attraction justify the premium. Multiple guys mentioned a fare price is $5K~6K, while I took a quick search on ebay looks sellers are listing at ~8K. Is there better source of inquiry?

You have misunderstood my comment.
The investment is the fact that the OF member finds the watch "adorable".
Only buy as an investment if you can afford to lose money. Who knows where it’ll be in 5, 10 or even 15 years time. At a guess; you’ll not lose money in the long term but you may not make a substantial amount. Only buy it if you like the watch.
...Never thought of it as an investment, but something I can pass down to my boys 30+ years from now.

If I sold all my watches for their market value I’d receive approx £15,000 more than I paid. They are all Omegas too....
They may not do quite as well as my other (more traditional) investments but for me there is the associated investment in my happiness, which I don’t get from my stocks and shares.
