Ha! If someone can persuade me that it will appreciate in value because it has the ETA movement and the smiley text dial then I can delude myself it is an investment.

Well that's more than I paid for mine new ...
EDIT: Actually that isn't mine, mine's this one with the smiley dial and red pip which seems to be on sale for outrageous amounts.

I don't think collectors view that model as scarce, unlike the one with the smiley dial and red pip.

Unfortunately the version that collectors get excited about is the black bezelled version as it was only produced for a few months. The link's to the blue bezel version - which was produced in bigger numbers / around for a lot longer so hasn't provoked the same reaction. All the eta models are flatter and less slabby than the inhouse versions, and obvs have a happier, rarer dial, but i don't think those qualities alone will make them investments.
I've got the blue bezel version (on a strap) and I really like it, but alas i don't think it'll appreciate. It's a great watch for the money though.

It sounds like you're looking for some confirmation to support a purchase decision.
I can guarantee that it will appreciate in value, but only if you wear it. So if you like it you should definitely buy it.

The money to buy it?
