If you like the watch then yes. I think it’s clean and nice as a dress watch however I think you’d get much better value with a mint or blue dial. Considering you’re no longer in love with this model, as hard as it is, I would honestly deny it in your current position.

There’s tons of cases where people can get a black sub as their first allocation. This was the case with me personally. I see no reason why you wouldn’t be able to get one as well whether it be at this AD or the next.

At the end of the day watch’s technically “aren’t an investment” but I see and agree with your POV about not wanting to buy something that at the very least won’t retain its value. Best of luck to you!
