    I think Elon has the financial means to weather any Moulinsart storm.

    Elon has $800 million in personal loans, with his TSLA stock pledged as collateral. One reason for his recent unhinged behavior is that he faces margin calls if TSLA stock falls to the $220 range. I wouldn't be so confident about his financial means. He's illiquid and using huge amounts of debt to fund a lavish lifestyle. He's also facing a lawsuit for tens of millions of $ from the cave diver chief in Thailand that he slandered. I'd think twice before worshiping Musk because he mentioned TinTin.

    It’s not about worshiping Musk-It’s about the culture of Space Travel and the Speedmaster and TinTin world’s colliding. I understand Musk lives on the edge somewhat recklessly at times and I still think he’d fare just fine in regards to Moulinsart.

    It's perfectly clear what it's about for you - anything that references TinTin somehow raises the "value" of your watch.

    While I agree mostly with your financial analysis, I have to disagree entirely on the part where u felt anyone was worshipping him. There's nothing wrong with being excited about a famous figure giving a nod to something you're passionate about. It sounds like you have some money riding on tesla :D

    Somehow one might conclude that you sound extremely cynical. I give benefits of doubt and if I’m wrong, That’s fine too. We all have perspectives we must travel within. The TinTin prices are well out of my control they will exceed expectations with or without my existence. It’s easy to keep things simple, by mostly watching on the side but I will post occasionally especially when it’s a fun bit of discussion. To me TinTin and SpaceX is a cool discussion, your mileage may vary which is fine as well. Cheers Cheers

    I believe that the diver is only looking for $75,000

    Maybe Elon is lobbying for a LE Speedmaster.
    It would be battery powered.

    He's seeking $75,000 in compensatory damages and an "unspecified amount" in punitive damages. A few stories put the punitive damages in the $75 million range.

    Musk slandered the guy to his 22.5 million Twitter followers, plus re-tweets and all the news stories about it. The guy will need more than $75,000 to compensate for that.

    My common sense says it should be piece i.e. single unit.

    Yes, I meant it as a piece. My bad...

    Anyway, set already reserved by someone else. Just too bad for my heart but a relief for my pocket. Hahaha.

    This is the (yearly price progress) that Chrono24 gives:
    upload_2018-9-27_12-47-16.png

    This tool is included in your "Watch Collection" section on chrono24.
    You can add your watch, price, condition etc and then you can see this chart.
    You can try it even if you dont own the model... and it will be in your language too ;)

    actually they give a price range for your watch by taking into consideration the previous sold prices and current listing prices...and they give you the median which today is 5467€ (4878€ low - 6056€ high)
