I've seen this watch in person and I do like the size, the finish and the style. If it were for Royal Oak and Nautilus, I would seriously consider this watch for my daily use. But now it all looks like an alternative for Royal Oak and Nautilus(and probably is what Bell&Ross positions it) and that is just not the same any more......
I heard that in Jackroad and Kame Kichi(龜吉) in Tokyo Japan, there are crazy prices for "second-hand" watches that are actually never worn. People sometimes receive watches as gifts from others and then just sell them at the second hand shop for real cheap price.
You can check out the stocks on their websites, but the store has more than the websites shows.
So, if you are not in a hurry and plan to visit Japan someday, you can nail two things with one trip, which is what I was thinking about......
I don't know if you would see this among other replies, but I would say if I were you, I'd go for the watch.
Simply because of these two reasons.
Firstly, realistically speaking, the price difference between these two models is not going to really make that much of a difference.
You cannot buy a house with the price difference, nor could you invest it into something that generates any cash-flow significant.
Secondly, you got to have something nice occasionally, to just have a taste of a slightly, how do I say, better version of life. It is like an escape from our "mediocre" life.
Some collect art, some drink nice wine, and some smoke cigars. If watches are your thing, then just go for it.
I still remember when I started working, I saved up enough for my first "real grown-up watch", which, ironically, is a Tag Heuer. I'd regret it now since there are better watches for the same money, but at the time, it was the nicest and most valuable thing I had. It sounds funny to say, but it did motivated me to make more money, so that I can "afford" more stuff I like.
As I am a bit older and wiser, I don't need the materialist things to motivate me anymore, but still, if the younger me asks me whether he should save the money or buy the watch, I would say go for the watch, because I know I was that type of person. We all sort of are that kind of person when we were young.
