tried to see if there was a topic on this to no avail.
ive been mulling this for some time now.
I understand value differences because of the case material (SS v PM) and because of the movement (321 v 861 v 1861 v 3861).
but on some models like the tintin, japan racing, snoopy, albino, mitsukoshi, etc., the value is due to differences in the dial. two watches may have the same material and movement (and even manufactured and sold in same period) but due to a different originally intended and attached dial, they are priced differently.
because if it’s all about the looks, a modification by changing the dial (still using original omega parts) should achieve the same valuation, more or less.
have not been able to fully fathom this matter. or maybe am just ignorant on why these models are sought after.
