TinTin arrived

I've never seen one in person before this arrived and I really like it.

I've been after some watches that are cool and different but not too worried about wearing around NYC or London etc where people will cut your wrist off to grab your watch!

Really happy with this one!

Thx guys. Will post a pic in a sec

The Tintin is a very nice and fun speedmaster. Way to sneak that monster piece in there as well.

lol...it wasn't on purpose I was wearing the pp when the tin tin arrived and I took it off to try on the tintin but snapped a quick pic first! Although that pp (5370P) is my fav of all.

Love the Tin Tin and the Patek “flex” next to it. Gorgeous watches, Sir!

Just got my TinTin a few weeks ago. Getting pretty popular it seems!

Thx guys, I'm wearing it today...I have to say I really like it a lot. It ticks so many boxes for me...ss, cool racing theme, chrono and NOT a Rolex. Plus it's easy to read the time which so many watches fail miserably at.

Been wearing it non stop...but for a manual wind watch they really made it hard to wind. I have other manual wind watches and it's a joy...it's just a bit irritating but I'm sure I'll get over it.

Lovely watch and yes I find my Speedy Pro hard to wind too. I put it down to a small narrow crown rather than big fat fingers

Congrats had mine about 2 years now and bought mine when it was'nt popular, looking at prices it seems to have shot up a lot in the last year.

I never used the stainless strap, just on nato's and i really do love it, sadly now the prices have gone up I find myself wearing it less I do baby my watches regardless of value though.
