Can we see some of your Rolex and Pateks?

 

Do we need to see them with a copy of today’s newspaper and hand on a bible for it to be true?

 

I remember friends laughing at my $7000 cartoon dogged themed watch. I’m good at picking them. Trust this idea... There is more money to be made in Rolex and Patek than trying to “pump” up the value of a Speedmaster. Even a $25k Silver Snoopy is a bargain compared to $100k plus Rolex and Patek. Selling watches will never be part of my life. There is even more money in my day job helping large corporations market their products. Watches are a great respite and break from that life. Cynical responses are just as important to the success of a product as are the praise type response. As a student of Edward Bernays I appreciate all of your responses.

 

Stumbled across this, apologize if it's already been linked to in other threads, but since it features a tintin thought I would share:

I like Patek and Rolex.... Is he your best friend?

 

Sour Grapes/naysayers----Check!

 

SOB, the Chrono24 prices for the Tintin up to
$8200 and $7200 and one with price upon request
Prices are like a stock ticker when The Donald says tax cut

 

Chrono24 rarely seems to track reality... Usually anything there can be sourced elsewhere for a bit less, especially since a lot of what they have are dealers buying from owners and then marking them up 25-30%. Be the person who buys from the owner before the dealer has a chance and you will get a much better price.

 

Latest from eBay and Chrono24, respectively...

 

Very cool but a complete shame they filmed it in B&W. I didn't read the article but perhaps they couldn't use color? It would have been so much cooler in color and if they would have actually ran the chronograph when they filmed. Thanks for sharing.

 

HQMilton has a Tintin $4450

 

Been there for over 6 mo., the mkt finally caught up to his price.

 

I’ve looked almost everyday since I bought one at HQ. First day it has been listed.
From what I see at HQ, they price watches to sell and they will negotiate. They don’t move the merchandise they don’t eat.
Somebody should snatch it up

 

must have been a different watch then, I know he had one listed for that price for a long time.

 

I think it is the one I have. Anyway they do have a great set of inventory. Happy hunting

 

Sorry to hijack the thread a little bit is there a way to determine what year your Tintin was made? Would I have to go to an omega boutique for that?
Just hoping mines a 2015 so it matches my sons birth year.

 

It's not the same one that he had listed through June and early July. That one had a decent sized scratch on the right side lug on the 12 o'clock side of the case and it also had a pretty good scratch on the hesalite right at the 12 o'clock marker. It did not have box and papers or all the links to the bracelet after it was sized. He listed it either right at what this watch is listed at or even a bit more. He was willing to go lower on the price.

Is that the same watch you purchased?

 

An OB may be able to tell you but there is no way to tell from the information we have. The serial number is actually the movement serial number and with the 1861 movement being used for several variants of the Speedy they are spread out over a range much larger than the Tintin's production numbers.

 

This is the one I was discussing with HQ Milton: https://www.hqmilton.com/timepieces...-racing-311.30.42.30.01.004-tin-tin-dial-9629.

 

I think it's a different watch as well. The previous one they had, which they must have sold recently, had a notable scratch that I'm not seeing on the current one listed.
