Falon- 2 thoughts-
1)20 years is a long time, IF neither watch ever needs any service other than regular maintenence it'll take that long to about make up the price difference. But if you'd invest the difference and did really well......
2)Despite what some Dealers will tell you, watches are not a good investment. The cost of ownership may well equal the price you paid for the watch in 15 or 20 years. If this is that big an issue with you buy Japanese. A new seiko quartz every 2 or 3 years will keep great time- no service costs, just plunk down $200 for a new one. But you will never LOVE your Seiko, and that's the reason people pay a premium for a swiss watch like Omega.
So buy the one YOU LIKE BEST, they have different 'personalities'. In about a month you will love it and by the time it needs service you'll pay it with only a slight grumble, and I bet you'll have another Omega by then too!
