Dangerous9 watch straps, links to the blog site come up

 

The TinTin is a watch with a nice story behind it. I would like to know what happened if they could make the deal with the TinTin-publisher and I would like to know how the watch would be look like exactly.

 

There is a prototype in Omega's museum. Shooting is not allowed...

 

you may find the answer here if you haven't seen the thread yet: https://omegaforums.net/threads/speedy-tintin-information-gathering.33387/

 

We'll never know what would have happened. I assume Icewatch sold a lot of Tintin related watches though. How the original would have looked we do know. But I did not see it at the Omega museum when I was there last week.

 

If I recall, it's locked away in a cabinet, away from prying eyes? If it was out in the open, people would be snapping photos left and right. You'd probably have to make a special request to see it.

 

Not sure if its appropriate to start posting "artist impression guestimates" on how it likely would have looked? I guess not doing so adds to the mystery, right?

 

Why not? Surprise us!

 

No mystery--people already know what it would have looked like--basically just has a little rocket on the dial from 10-12. Exact sketches have been floating around. Not posted anywhere on the site though. Honestly, I'm pretty satisfied with what we got--the original doesn't look much different (the front anyhow).

 

@Wombat123 if you are interested to see how it really looks, send me a PM and I'll drop by your houseboat. Will cost you some coffee though...

 

I arrive a bit late, but very Nice review. Thanks!

 

Great pics! Makes me want to own one

 

Been drawn towards the Tin Tin lately and these pics don’t help.

I like tintin

 

yeah,..i waited and stared for a minute at the first photo thinking it would focus.

i think photobucket caused me to do this. plz peps,..don't use photobucket anymore it's not 1995

 

I still kick myself in the butt for passing on the TinTin. I had the opportunity at a dealer to buy it new and passed for a plain moon. I thought long and hard about it. And now the prices have sky rocketed(no pun intended) haha

 

Very cool pics !! what is the lens you used ?

 

Great story.

 

I love this. One true watch geek to another. I still kick myself in the butt. I was torn bt the tin tin and a plain moon. I guess u live and learn.
