1) Ha ha ha ha... Seriously though, very very few models from other brands mimic Rolex's steel models residuals – everything else suffers typical depreciation levels.
2) Absolutely!
3) You'll appreciate the reward more of doing your own research on the brand's history, etc, rather than just being spoonfed it.
4) Easy is a relative term, but there will be far less buyers than many other brands.

Buy (if possible) pre-owned and with the intention of keeping long term – the right piece could be one that you never tire of, making the whole thing a moot point.

I'm unaware of anyone on this forum having bought a De Bethune – it's bad enough trying to persuade them to look at Mosers or Girard-Perregauxs! – so you'd be best to spend time looking at the threads on PuristSPro's De Bethune section, and Timezone too.
