I loved Destination Moon and Explorers on the Moon as a kid. But there's also another reason why the Tintin has been on my radar ...



Go you mighty Saints!!

Tintin number 77797xxx arrived home in Melbourne today after a long and at times stressful journey around the globe. Some day, probably not soon, but someday, we will see the Sainters win the flag.
Omega will release a second edition Tintin before the Saints win another flag
Seriously though, congratulations and I hope you get that flag soon.

Haha! Maybe even an Apollo XI 100th anniversary model! We've just been in a rebuilding phase... since 1966 馃槜

Seriously though, congratulations and I hope you get that flag soon.

Thanks 馃憤 So far, I'm very pleased with the Tintin. If I am ever lucky enough to see these Saints win a flag, this watch will be on my wrist. And you'd better believe there will be a WRUW post that day. Go Saints!

No one would be able to post it here but supposedly there are some with pics. If you read through the posts one member did a mock-up which is supposedly spot on and there is another poster that said he will provide pics if you PM him. I haven't heard back from him yet. I'm waiting patiently. 馃榾

you have mail.... or pm at least... enjoy

Send me a PM, await the reply and then say "Urban Legend" again....go on I dare you 馃榾

Hopefully one day the stars will align and we will see a little red rocket on the dial of a new Speedmaster

indeed it may but we would have to wait a new generation at the directorship of Moulinsart, or maybe they sell out to Disney one day like Starwars - we'll then see 'tintin land' theme parks and Tintin lego etc... not a bad outcome I reckon - I did buy a tintin T-Shirt at a EuroDisney Paris shop many years ago - so who knows

Does anyone know until when the red boxes were delivered with the TinTin? I know Omega changed the box to wood at a certain point in time but can't find it. I have a Tintin with wooden box and one with red box and it would be just another fact to add to the provenance-story.

Thanks!

That's when the box was made. not the watch

I thought it was sometime in the 4th quarter of 2015 but I could be wrong

True, but we also know that on that time, wooden boxes started to appear and be given with watches

Thanks. I Checked the carton box from my other Tintin with wooden box and it says 10/16, so yours was indeed earlier.

I thought i had posted this back in January when i bought it, but here goes.

Picked up a new one from grey market in Tokyo in January 18.
Serial 778126xx, wooden box.

Also picked up one in a red box that i sold on, i might be able to retrieve the serial on that as well.
