That just makes me angry for some reason.

 

That’s how demand and supply works man!

Collectors will keep this watch and they will only consider selling it if they ever decide it with a price that won’t make them regret it... so 10k+ is not crazy (mAybe not for a short term transaction but a year from now I find it possible)

Just my 2 cents

 

I tracked down the AD, they sent me a picture of the transaction.


IS THIS THE WATCH YOU TRADED FOR?

 

I sent SpeedyTomorrow a link to a UK dealer selling 3 NOS TinTins for GBP 7250 each (converted to USD roughly $9100) Still very high, but not $11k high.

 

I own 77777***

 

^ you should have bought the tag for 77777560 that was on ebay you're the closest so far

 

So I was going through my insurance documents and came across my watch policy. I saw that I have the TinTin insured for $3800 (what I paid for it in Aug '17).

Anyways, to increase the insurance policy...does anyone know the process? Do I need to get it appraised and send the new price docs to the insurance company for update?

I've never changed a policy on specific personal items....so just curious if anyone has been down this road and and knows the process.

Thank you for any insight....

 

This likely varies from company to company. Best thing to do is call your insurance broker and see what the company requires.

 

Absolutely.....that's my plan for Monday. I'm just curious if someone has done this in the past.

 

Easy done

Just ask them to change your policy so that it covers your items for full replacement value, and not the item’s current value.

They may suggest a rider policy attached to your policy for the watches and jewellery.



Read everything 3 times like all insurance policies.

 

I understand and agree. NOS TinTin’s should be an under $10,000 watch. $11500 for a TinTin might be the future but it’s too pricey for now. Yes I understand unworn copies of this watch are more sought after and that there are very few left. I believe I’ll pick up and unworn copy for $10,000 or less sooner rather than later. Waiting till February to buy and if for some reason they are over $10,000 by then, well, I’ll adjust and pay the price. Not the end of the world.

 

Will not be >10,000$ till February don’t worry! You can still find 5 NOS in Chrono24 right now for less...

 

Prices are not what they seem to be, there is plenty on this Forum for sale (although no NOS) for a lot less than $10K. As a matter of fact, I don't exactly see them flying off the shelf either.

Nice to dream.....

 

Oh boy, 3 new listings for tintin watches on ebay this week (4 total). And two in the $6k range. For such a rare bird, there sure are a lot of them showing up for sale recently.

 

I am guessing it's because some owners are finding out the watch they bought for $2,800 can now be sold for $6,500... Get out while the gettin's good!

 

I read on the internet that in couple years it will be a $20,000 watch

 

I'd love to see it as a $20,000 watch, but I think that's just speculation. The market seems to be maturing and settling in at around $6500-$7000 for used in good condition and $7500-$8000 for NOS. The NOS watches priced at $8000 are just sitting there. The one NOS watch on Chrono24 priced at $7400 now shows as "Reserved."

 

I was just having some fun. The internet would never allow anything so outlandish.
How about a

 

Yes.. I think you mention one is from Japan .. the cheapest now that i saw on internet for a NOS piece

 

I sold one NOS this month at C24,but commission and exchange rate was really high ... Now i have one used for sale but dont want to post on C24 again
