路Hi all,
I'm looking for some advise, preferably from someone with a parts account or from someone who has done similar - but how likely is it I can purchase a TinTin dial? I've seen from various posts that these were produced in limited numbers, with another number of these destroyed, putting the number of completed watches somwhere in the region of 1500-2000 produced - again, I've heard of a coupe of clones being produced.
Now I get it's a polarising opinion, but I'm very keen on the TinTin, and feel it adds another interesting perspective to an already very nice looking watch - I didn't buy one at the time, as A) I might not like it in the flesh, and B) Prices were a bit higher than I could reaonably justify.
Now, I'm not looking in any way to create a clone, personally, I'm not particularly keen on the red caseback writing and I appreciate anyone with any knowledge on the subject would see this is not correct from the serial no - That and the fact this watch is going nowhere, this is a keeper, and I'm very happy with it. I just like the idea that in later years, should I wish - I can have the TinTin dial installed on my .005 Speedmaster.
Is this possible, or am I just being a bit daft??
