What's the deal with....

The resale price of Omega TT "Double Eagle" Constellations? I can't give mine away (well, not literally). Seems this watch was a HUGE bust for the company. Can't figure it out, it's a beautiful watch.

I've noticed that the prices of some Omegas drop when they are second hand or pre-owned, which is why I mostly buy my watches pre-owned. It's good for the buyer, but bad for the seller.

Just not one of the most desierabel models to most people. Dont get me wrong a avid Omega collector will probably buy it it will just take a while. Plus most are into the sports models IMHO

It's just not one of the more desirable watches, which hurts the resale. The sport line has always held it's value better, for all brands really.

The men's Constellation (unlike the lady's) is not that popular except in Asia.

Likewise, younger consumers are not into two-tone watches.

So you have two strikes against you.

it's aesthetic is unorthodox to say the least. it think this may have something to do with it.
