What time is it? Watches and horology

I'm considering this for my first proper watch:

It's a Junghans Max Bill Chronoscope with a steel strap. Is this a sensible buy? By that I mean am I better off going for something a bit more normal/obvious? I love the look of it but it's quite... delicate. I'm thinking about longevity and, vaguely, resale value. They sell for about £1500 new.

Don't buy a watch based on resale values.
