    Yes at least 2 years wait is needed to get proper response... and it's not much...

    I've heard it's rarer then the Snoopy, and was originally going to come with a lifesize TinTin adult pleasure doll... it's sure to appreciate as soon as the "in it for a quick buck I don't even know how to tell the time" crowd hear that it also increases the size of your gentleman area.... ::facepalm1::

    And the seller might also reconsider the price. $3.600 is cheap for a rare model ::screwloose:: How about $7.200?

    These are a little over £3k at an OB now... so he's asking close to RRP. But is also a dealer... so will have a margin to make. Fair price if someone wants it badly enough.

    .. And it's gone.. 'Reveal the price' option has been replaced by 'Note: watch no longer available'

    :D:thumbsup:
    btw is it just my browser or searching 'speedmaster tintin' does show Omega's official page on the results? Despite having no 'tintin' reference on the Omega page, Google seems to know the relation :D

    So what's left in dealers is what's left to sell... the way it's been moving those dealers will be holding stock for a little while yet...

    These aren't going anywhere fast.

    They haven't since launch, and now they're off the website, they certainly aren't going to sell faster.

    I am banking on these going up substantially in value in about 60 years. While I will be long gone by that time, I plan on mine being considered an 'honest watch', so I wear it almost every day. Sometime around 2075 someone will profit handsomely off of this thing.

    "Each mark tells a story!" Yeah. Although some stories will be "Damn! I just hit the door jamb with my watch!"

    Sometime in 2075, the future second owner of my vintage 2015 Tintin will find this post here. Hello future buyer!
