Hey all,

Well, despite the lack of love for the Speedy Pro Racing dial known as the "Tintin", I've been hooked on it since it was announced. I first saw it in London about a year ago but held off due to other recent buys. Well, the fire was stoked again recently...even more so when I found it was already out of production.

When I started to re-research it, I found very little info likely due to the ugly reviews...including some on here. Well, the dial sung to me and I had a real hunch that it would play well on a NATO. I really dislike the Speedy Pro bracelet and feel it draws one's eyes away from this pretty, painted dial. I've had her on my wrist for 4 days straight since arrival!

Look for her on fratellowatches this coming week as my new piece will be featured. Enjoy some pics...maybe they'll change your mind a little. :)

Sublime! One of my favorites

Congrats, a beauty, I somehow thought it was due for release! I loved Tintin comics as a kid.

FTX I · 27 April 2014, 10:58 AM

I admit Im not a big enthusiast of this one, but with those straps and that awesome Universal as pair, I can only say huge congrats!

tfduff723 · 27 April 2014, 11:03 AM

Very cool Mike!

I saw a prototype of that dial last summer at a private event at the Omega Boutique at Somerset Mall. Looks like it is a now a reality.

KBM · 27 April 2014, 11:41 AM

Cool looking Speedy!

viper9669 · 27 April 2014, 03:35 PM

Congrats, cool variation!

I saw one for sale at a retailer a couple of months ago, when i went back there again it had been sold. Its on my radar 👀

Ru4scuba · 27 April 2014, 05:28 PM

I think it's pretty neat looking. Enjoy it!

Len S · 27 April 2014, 05:44 PM

Very nice Speedy. Congrats and I hope you enjoy it for many years to come.

mks4 · 27 April 2014, 06:20 PM

Thanks all...glad I could shed a little positive light on this one. :)

So, not that these aren't available in some stores or online, but Omega confirmed (at the boutique) that they've officially stopped making them. When I contacted the AD that sold me mine, they ordered it from Omega Europe...who "supposedly" had 2-3 left. I guess nothing is truly rare today but if you want that new experience, sooner is probably better than later.

Cheers!

Mike
