I own a 40th anniversary 007, but was able to get it used and in mint condition for about half of what it costs brand new. I will say the 300 SM non 007 are more common than the 007 edition. The one thing about these watches that I've seen, with each new edition 007 bond that they bring out they only make 10007 of them and eventually there all gone and you can't find them. You can always get a new seamaster 300 M. But on the other hand I've actually been waiting to get the call on a PO casino Royal 007 for the last two months from my local AD. But there aren't any in the hole company. So I believe there is a level of these watches being limited, because once there gone there aren't any more until the company makes a new version for a new 007 movie. I will say that if you re-sale a 007 you'd probablly fetch more it than if it were just a reg 300M, because of the limited factor.

All in all if you like the fact that it's a semi rare item and you like the timepiece buy it. But if your looking for something that's going to become more of a collectors item and fetch a lot more in the future. I'de go for something like a Rolex that you know is being discontinued or is limited like the Sub LV. I also agree with the others that something like an entry level Paneri would be a better "investment" for the money.
