Well of course anyone who own a Tintin won't like what I have to say..lol. That said, the value of a watch isn't about the number made, never has been, it's about what people are willing to pay. I am not saying it isn't worth it, I am just saying the numbers are inflated and I think my argument is more than reasonable from a business point of view and looking at the history of how Omega releases watch models over the years. I just had a 1016 appraised for 18k, and it was made at least in the 6 or 7 figures, maybe even more... Is the watch rare, not at all, but people are willing to pay big money for it right now. I have been collecting high-end watches for a long time, and I have seen a lot of great narrative surrounding certain watches, some were true, most weren't... But everyone likes a good story, nothing wrong with that.
