Speedy Tintin information gathering

dubois · Jan 5, 2016

I phoned two people in Omega who claimed that she was produced so little they can not give the exact number.

dubois · Jan 5, 2016

I asked if the book production year could match the number of existing shows. but they know nothing. it seems to be the assumption

dubois · Jan 5, 2016

They confirmed to me but it was rare and that production has been stopped since 2014 but has yet to distributors until 2015.

dubois · Jan 5, 2016

this remains a shows little produced in a very short time so it proves that it is rare

dubois · Jan 5, 2016

It's shown us traveled with a lot of mysteries ☺

@dubois you might want to check your dosage.

dubois · Jan 5, 2016

I'm here to understand and know with everyone the story of that Tintin is so mysterious with affirmations and not suppositions !!! it is with pleasure that I share my info !!

Very nice pair! I have something similar, but more along the lines of "something old, something new":

Lovely pairing. Have you added your Tintin Serial# here, CdnwatchDoc? We are slowly building a picture.

CdnWatchDoc · Jan 5, 2016

Yep, mine was the 777979xx

TallyHo! · Jan 5, 2016

Great looking watch! Still can't believe that the Herge's family got cold feet. Have you got the rocket to go with it yet? 😎

To my further - extreme - surprise I'm getting increasingly taken with this Tintin version and I'm now hovering dangerously close to a purchase - at £3,150 - how do others here feel about that for value? I wonder if it would be feasible to fit a Tintin dial to my 3570.50?

I have bought myself a pin badge, same as I got for my grandson's Xmas stocking, so mania is now becoming firmly established!

Error returned on trying to view the attachment, davy26.

I take it that is an AD price?

I ended up getting two model Tintin rockets, one for my grandson and one for myself. I refuse to grow old and die...so far so good

Not an authorised Omega dealer, but a major retailer whom I trust from a recent IWC Portuguese purchase.
Not sure about attachments - they are bad links in the text, but I can 'see' the two pics intended embedded in my post, i.e. book cover and pin badge - please let me know if these are not visible on the forum.
I have seen the rockets and like them - quite expensive though? (BTW) grandsons come in handy to help justify these kinds of indulgence!
Regards.

I have been looking further at available Tintins as of now - average price is £2,197, so that one I mentioned previously seems a bit over-priced.
