A brand new version of that watch is a better watch in all respects, it is cheaper, more accurate and more practical to own, and Rolex is running short on some of the parts of watches of that vintage, so you may get to the point someday that you can't get it repaired properly.
As for the Heuer, an inexpensive model of that watch would be one thing, but I would not spend 10 grand on one. The quality is not there, and the collectibility is probably less than you think.

I am by far no expert on what watches will be worth more or less down the line. In my mind a 1 of 150 run of a Heuer will only go up in value over the next 10-20-30 years. Same goes for a vintage Rolex that is extremely popular. I just did a quick search and cannot find another one for sale anywhere.
I am seeing the same vintage GMT going for 8K (Poor shape) to 16K perfect shape. I think this watch is a nice watch to daily wear and still maintain value and go up in value, just from what I am seeing online in a quick search. Being as this one has all the documentation and boxes I think it would be a good purchase.
I found one on Chronotrader for $8,450 and in rough shape.
