Your take on this Omega 196.0124

It's a nice looker.

I just have significant bias to mechanical movements. But that's just me.
I have no idea about servicing quartz or if parts are hard to come by.

I would think a mechanical would be a better investment piece.

I've been on the hunt for a Jumbo constellation, but the price has kept me out, so far.

I'm not sure as I don't follow this model, but it looks like a redial to me. I really don’t like the "Constellation" or the placement of Swiss Made above the minute track.

Also the price is way too high. You can find a lot of very decent attractive mechanical Seamaster's and Geneve's for that money with a bit of effort.

I picked this up recently for €400 and it is looking great and running well. It will eventually after servicing be going to my son when he hits 21 as a great starter watch. Clean, crisp with a screw back case....to protect against beer/cocktail spillage
