I'm a GMT guy so I am biased....but I'd go for a GMT II with the 3186 movement. I think it will be collectable, but not for quite a few years. In the meantime though, I'd wear the watch carfully and keep the box and all the paperwork in mint condition. I think this watch has a real rarity to it, and an interesting story, which will make it valuable in the future.

If you prefer the Bond look, then replace the coke bezel insert with a black one....or rather get an additional black bezel insert and put the coke bezel away with the B&P.

That all said, if you can find an old style SD brand new, and if you prefer that, then I think you'll do as wel from a collectbility point of view.

The point is..if you're buying for investment:

1) Don't overpay now.
2) Keep the box and papers safe and in good condition.
3) Wear it carefully.
4) Take a long view.
