Just the same way you can still order Gemini IV dial/hands/bezel, just need to have the right contacts ;-)

 

It's not what ya know...but who ya know

 

People do this sort of thing all the time. A friend of mine just ordered the 2004 Japan Racing Dial and Hands from an OB so he can take a regular old Speedy Pro and modify it to look like a Japan Racing model. I don't see a problem with it as long as everything is disclosed if it is sold.

 

Just getting caught up on this thread after being away from it for a bit. I noticed a few folks in the last two months stating they bought NOS Tintins and they came with the new 5-year warranty. If the AD is offering the 5-year warranty then these items would truly have to be NOS meaning they were never sold previously and have been literally sitting in inventory for all these years waiting on a buyer. Given all the hype of the Tintin over the past year I find that incredible. Can those few that got a NOS model share their story in some detail, please? Like where you bought it and if you paid retail, etc.?

Thanks!

 

You think that’s odd? A guy on TZ-UK who has some pretty impressive AD contacts bought a silver snoopy brand new within the past 2 months so presumably got a 5 year warranty on that. Rather makes a TinTin languishing at the back of an AD safe gathering dust look pretty ordinary.

 

Wow! I would think the seller would know a thing or two about watches and what is marketable and want to sell it or buy it themselves and then make a big profit on it. Just crazy to think these certified Omega sellers have no clue what they are holding in inventory.

 

FWIW I own 778099XX

 

Seems nuts, but people sometimes really don't know. Surprised from an AD though.

 

My Tin Tin is 77780XXX

$8000 and it’s used without box or papers. I think this fits the trend I’ve seen from dealers viewing this as a $10,000+ piece with box and papers. I paid nearly $10k for mine. I’d be curious to see what a dealer like Watchbox would sell a TinTin for if it was NOS with box and papers. $12,000?

 

I’m very close on this plan. My extra TinTin will sit at the bank until I get the call on the Daytona. I expect within a year I’ll flip the extra TinTin for a ceramic white dial Daytona. I think that’s the perfect pair Speedmaster TinTin+Ceramic Daytona.

 

One for sale on Chrono24 serial #77809032

I’m trying not to get carried away with a #3. But this grabbed me and it’s very tempting. Nonetheless you can see the serial so those categorizing serials add this one to the list.
