Hello Christian!! Big congrats on your new Speedmaster Apollo 11 50th Anniversary!! Very nice reading and viewing your report....

... I was rather dubious about the sub dial with the Aldrin figure specially because I´m not very fond of the conmemorative editions but viewing it in the metal and considering the importance of the event being celebrated with this watch I decided to jump on it.
I also found very very attractive its caseback with the historical Aldrin´s foot print.
In all it is a very interesting watch to own for Speedmaster fans and collectors and for those who are interested in the Space race and history.
Enjoy yours so much and thank you for sharing those great shots and your thoughts!
Cheers! Abel

Dear All, Just a very visual review about the Omega Apollo 11 50th Anniversary that I received today ! Initially I wasn't so convinced about the watch: I do have my fair share of Moonwatches so I thought... I wouldn't need another one but in person the wa...

is not like a "classic" Moonwatch but I already have more classic models so for me it did the trick. Curious that you mention the box ! Is really a very special one and I have to admit that had an influence too (how crazy..I know). The full gold is a gorg...
I think it feels somehow more luxurious...

because of the moonshine gold that is a very nice touch ! The other Moonwatches (with the exception with the titanium/sedna gold one and the snoopy ) are closer to the "classic" Speedmaster so it is different. Also the bracelet is definitely better, thinn...
wow so cool ! I was admiring your moonshine gold one ...but

then I learned that you boss is using is so I thought this would fit me better frankly I didn't expect to get it. I went to see this and the moonshine one and I thought I would go for the gold because is very special. The one I saw was reserved so I thoug...

A watch buddy told me to buy a speedy. He said, it is a great investment. My thing is, i can only buy watches which i like. So, buying a speedy is for me only investment and let the watch into the stickers. But... i can not refuse a speedy, because it is ...

is a beautiful watch. I love your photos. Still not sure how much I like Buzz’s ladder shot, but I understand why Omega used this image.
thanks Markus

indeed some elements of the watch are not "classic speemaster" the background too..now that you mention it is really a blue grey more than grey..I wasn't really on the list but when they offered it to me it was sort of love at first sight
I really enjoyed reading your owners review
