If that's the watch you want, you should get it one day. And when you do, you will value it for the rest of your life. One of the benefits of not being rich enough to just buy one because you can.
I never wanted a particular watch, just a nice mechanical one. I finally got one of my grandmother's inheritance money, an entry level TAG Heuer. It got refurbished twice in the last 14 odd years, I wear it daily. And it is basically my only piece of jewelry. It is also absolutely impractical when compared to a modern Garmin smart watch, the combined refurbishment costs so far could have financed a top-of-the-line Garmin. Which I'd assume is a lot more robust than the fragile mechanics. I'll never get one of those Garmins then, because a good mechanical watch is piece of art.
Getting a nice Omega (lovely watches, especially the Moon one) would feel like betrayal of my TAG.
