    Picked up mine about two weeks ago from a Melbourne Omega Boutique. Serial No. 77796xxx. Apparently the last one in Australia. Was told Omega HQ shipped out all remaining Tintins to random OB’s around the world.

    Aw man, that's too bad. Are you returning it to Costco for a refund, or going to bite the bullet and have it repaired?

    It’s high time we request OP to come and provide us some rough figure of how many TinTin are sold by Omega. My guess is that Omega sold more TinTin watches AFTER the Fratellowatches.com article appeared on that than it sold before!

    I ended up getting the last one from Costco main warehouse vault. Should be coming in by tomorrow. Crossing my fingers on getting a good working TinTin.

    please provide the serial # info (first 5 digits), as the purpose of this thread is to try and nail down a serial # range and an estimate of the number produced. There are other threads about the watch in general.
