Why Omega has such horrible marketing policies?

5 days ago I bought my first Omega (my first "good watch")
It's a Seamaster D300 in black, 41 mm, steel on steel, new.

Since then, I've been lurkin Omega and Rolex forums and noticed that there's a myriad of Seamaster models, Bond versions, for japanese market only versions and the list goes on.

Rolex has been making the Submariner, almost identical for 40/50 years or so and It has an awesome resale value because of that: not letting their customers down upgrading/changing a model and depreciating the value of the 2 month "old" ones.(it's an example to explain my point)

Sorry for my rant, but, would like to know the experts opinions and thoughts about this, maybe I'm wrong.(I'm NO watch expert/collector)

Thank you.
