If you take away all the special edition variations and newer coaxial Speedmasters....you're really left with some simple choices that are very timeless like the Speedmaster pro and First Omega in Space. Then it's a matter of deciding bracelet/strap option and hesalite/sapphire. Buy the watches right (grey/used) and it'll hold value very well IMO. All the big appreciating Speedmasters are either vintage or specific limited editions that are desirable in different ways.

I don't recommend vintage for your first Speedmaster unless you know what you're looking at and willing to do a lot of research.....but it'll be very rewarding should you find the right vintage Speedy.....as I mentioned extremely timeless look. In fact you can probably compromise and do something like a 145.022 where it bridges modern and vintage and not lose your shirt on an appreciating Speedy.
