It's a lost case, my friend...

 

Rin Tin Tin (often hyphenated as Rin-Tin-Tin; September 1918 – August 10, 1932) was a male German Shepherd that was an international star in motion pictures

Watch doesn’t look anything like German Shepard

 

This is the absolute best strap match I've ever seen... I know you've shown this before but my goodness it works sooooo well.

(I remember it not being cheap either )

 

Kinda looks like a Rin, though.

 

It’s really not , no search has arguably turned up a viable answer, that’s why I asked here, I learned my lesson. A lot of self indulgent a holes that think they hav a Patek because they have a speedmaster with a tablecloth markings on it.

 

Well-replied, touché

But not well-googled - the solution is here : http://bfy.tw/Lr7z

The very first link gives you all the clues and the origin of the name from the guy who coined it himself.

There have been many a time when at the pizza joint I laid the TinTin on the table and it took me hours to find it.

 

With zero sense of humor because they can't afford a Patek!

 

Any "a hole" with $20,000 can buy a Patek. There are plenty in this world. It takes taste, class, $6000+ish and some rudimentary google skills to own this watch. Best of luck in your future endeavors and lighten up a bit.

 

Sorry I haven't done my part contributing to the original purpose of this thread. Looked through my picture gallery and was able to salvage these watch numbers of the watches that have been in my possession since September last year:

777809**
777782**
777782**
777940**
777781**
777804**
777781**
777767**

There is one more piece that I had, but cannot for the life of me find a picture with the serial number on it. If I do find it, I'll update for sure. Hope this helps.

 

Interesting article about the real Tintin story appeared in Indian Express today.

Yep, now i really regret I paased a tin tin for 3000 eur not that long ago

 

Just a quick one ... for fun ...

 

Here is mine

 

Nice strap choice! Right on point!

 

My strap choice:

 

That is a nice strap for the watch. What strap is this?

 

Just a standard Nato Strap I found in a boutique here in Paris ...
I paid 18€ for this one ...

 

Thank you. I like the thin stripes and I have only seen them with wider stripes. I will keep my eyes open to find such a strap.
