Have had mine for more than a year, looked for straps, but have decided I like it on the bracelet for now:

Love the "Red Devil" strap. May have to have a look at that one myself...

The watch isn't mine but my wife's .... The dial is stepped actually but very hard to show it on pictures



My verdict .... ?!? =>

I put an Omega rally strap on mine and love it.

I find it more comfortable than the bracelet.

A great watch to wear if you are wearing red.

ooh, that red strap look awesome, think I'll order that. Moulinsart owns all the rights to the Herge materials including TinTin, and they are extremely conservative about licensing (and it sounds like the pretty much never approve anything).

Here's some more TinTin love

I understand that the Tintin was recently available at the Omega Boutique in Dubai for up to 40% off...does anyone know if I can get that good a deal here in Canada?

Was* available! @maxtor71 馃榾

here is mine...I find the black to be much richer on this one than the standard 3570 and as someone else mentioned, the dial is stepped - a nice subtle feature.

Ha - it's all your fault I bought one! Despite being a Tintin fan the watch didn't sing to me when I saw it in the flesh with the bracelet so I jogged on and didn't give it a second thought.

Then, I'm pretty sure I saw this same picture somewhere else - if imitation is the most sincere form of flattery then you should know that I called up my dealer and bought the watch and rally strap together.

Another Omega fan, upon seeing mine, went out and did the same...
