These are nice watches. In late 2014/early 2015 I was looking at a TinTin at Jared for $3800 NIB as a "vault value", and my son talked me out of it. Then in May 2018 I was offered one NIB with stickers from Nima007 for $4200. But passed on it because I had other financial obligations, having just bought my POLMLE and Planet Ocean 9300, and seeking a Hulk and BLNR.
I didn't see their value going up above that of a POLMLE, which only had 1948 of them ever produced. Crazy, since thousands of these were made! Sure, it's a fun watch, and Omega should keep making them, but for some reason they stopped. I suspect that while in production they had many people pass them over for a proper Moonwatch, so the lack of demand caused the cancelation. And once they cancel something then everyone wants it. If I could go back in time and get one now for that $4K I might, but I didn't see it as worth it back then, and I don't see it as worth $6K now (for my own personal watch I mean).
The question is, would I ever sell my white Italian dial and black hand set and use the money to buy a TinTin dial? Maybe.
Would I trade my black dial Speedy or my Mitsukoshi dial Speedy for one? Not likely.
Would I give up my Speedy Tuesday Mk1 for it? Never.
