Our serial numbers are quite close Robert, mine is 7779738X from Bic Camera.
Do you or does anyone know where the Tintin rocket was on the dial of the prototype watch, the rocket which had to be removed? My understanding is that it was one of the subdials hands.
It's my opinion that the watch looks great as is and any additional decoration would not have been a good idea. Anyone agree?

They have the original prototype at the Omega Museum - it not on display so you have to ask for it privately, probably sign a non diclosure agreement and cannot take photos... The little rocket is at 11, as has been said, very small and enhances the dial I think - shame to have lost it and the wonderful caseback that no doubt had tintin characters on it

Caseback with Tintin characters on the back hmmm...500 with Capt Haddock, 500 with prof Calculus, 1500 with Tintin & Snowy. Not a totally bad idea.
Oh wow, really want to see those prototypes. Would be amazing if Moulinsart actually gave up on their strict regulations and allowed Omega to release an official version of the Tintin, complete with a rocket on the second hand as well as Tintin engraved casebacks.
Even if this was only released in a highly limited edition I believe that this would completely outrun both Silver Snoopy and SpeedyTuesday!
That sir is a bargain!
Hi new to the forum though been reading for a while. Guess this is the correct place to post this.
For those of you looking for a TinTin saw a couple of new ones in Tokyo over the last couple of days. BigEcho in Ueno have one at list, but BIC in Akihabara have one on discount and with the additional Halloween discount they are offering works out around Y 305,000 tax free price.
Hope this helps those of you looking to get one.[/QUOTE

That's the equivalent of $2700 USD, which is a GREAT price for the watch...WOW!
I think I have bought the last Tin Tin from an Omega Boutique on Saturday. ref 77778xxx.
You would think, but they keep appearing like a very slow drip from the kitchen tap.
I want a second one now, so off to the WTB forum thread...
