Not every watch within that range was a TinTin.

 

Les chiffres XX sont uniques pour chaque montres ,du moins je le pense

 

Vous avez vu 856 numéros distincts ? Si ce n'est pas le cas, je ne comprends votre mode de calcul...

Oui, correct.

 

TINTIN PRODUCTION QUANTITY: In his post on April 30, 2018, @blubarb reported that he had counted almost 80 TinTin serial numbers being listed on this site. Thus if about 10% of TinTins have been reported here the total build quantity would likely be around 800. If about 5% of the total build quantity has been reported here the total quantity built is about 1,600. Around 1% reported here would equate to about 8,000 watches. So what do you folks think, 80 serial numbers reported on this site equate to how many watches manufactured in total? What percentage of TinTin owners have reported their serial numbers on this site? Know that and you closely know the total number manufactured.

 

2-3%

 

77812xxx checking in.

 

I also have a number: 77812xxx

 

I dunno but off the top of my head 25-30 or so have gone to forums members through my hands so we can boost that number up

 

So my question with your distribution is how many of your 25-30 TinTin customers previously reported their serial numbers on this thread? Obviously we don't want any double counts.

 

Likely a very good guess in my humble opinion, thanks.

 

Using this reverse method, I would still say about 1500 and for arguments sake add Kringkily's 30 to the 80 known then 110 which would be a little over 7%. So working out number by % is dependant on the total, so I can't see that working - the German Tank method is still more likely to lead to a better calculation of numbers if I can find a watch loving statistician to do the head work

 

Not sure if got mine....it's 778103XX

 

Mine was one.

 

The German Tank Method is excellent but will it work with only partial serial numbers? Most folks on this thread are not listing their complete, full serial number. As for me, based on the total of this threads reporting, I strongly suspect the number of TinTins produced is between 1500 & 2000. As an aside, I recently spoke with a longtime OB manager. When I asked that manager how many TinTins were produced the answer was simply, "not many!"

 

I suspect you are right re the German Tank approach -

 

Just to let you know. I have been picking up more serials from owners on Instagram as well. Slowly building numbers. Right now I have a little over 80 numbers. Not a lot, but very rough estimates based only on that number would be 995.3 (like to know who has the rest of that one) so still a very long way to go to have any real estimates beyond guess work. My gut is still saying 2,000 to 2,500 If you like arithmetic and % analysis - go for it

 

Hi there!

Just want to add my Tintin

Best regards from Germany,

778103xx checking in! I bought this from another member here on OF, so hopefully it isn’t a repeat. I’ll PM the full serial if it’ll help with research.

Personally, I’m in the <2000 camp for these. They planned a run of 1954, and how many spare dials would they have made?
