Here are some obfuscated photos of the original TinTin prototype you can ask to see at the museum. What a shame we never got the rocket and that caseback!
(I did not take these photos I was sent them by a guy who knew a guy who knew a guy who took these photos and he took them at the Omega museum and had to obfuscate them by Omega apparently):

I was also a bit worried when i purchased my tintin, so went straight to OB to check it. Turned out the sn is legit. But what was worrying to me were 2 things:
- wooden box - back then there were some implications that it was only the red box for tintin
- the unstamped card - correct one, but no AD or OB stamp on it.

Thanks to all of you showing the wooden boxes - this is no longer an issue. On the stamp however, I still wonder sometimes why is it that I somehow it never got stamped? Any ideas on this?

Alright, so having gone through the remaining 75 pages, 78 serials were only mentioned 4 additional times with one of those being a repost of the plot chart by @WurstEver

However, they were all 787, which still leaves @KnoP 's being potentially the latest recorded. What I can suggest doing is to reach out to @Archer and ask if he can run your serial to verify the reference.

Did you render it by Yourself?
Or where did you find that?
Thanks

I agree on what was said that this would be a lovely caseback, but I also prefer the dial without the rocket.

Something like this….

Wait, did you say that you can ask to see the Tintin prototype at Omega museum?? Or even the pictures of it??

xantiagib

you used to be able to.... worth a try asking nicely at the museum. They won't let you take photos unless you let them obscure them in some way

pumpernikiel

Fully with you

KnoP

same here!

BTW: for online prices i have seen that chrono directly had one last weeks. it was on for 16.000€ and i iffered them 14.400 what they denied. one week later it was reduced to 13950. bought (not officially) from a grey dealer in austra... at least the timeline would overlap for this model...
