    Hi OF,

    Testing the waters.

    What I have here is the very last unit of the Apollo XI 35th Anniversary Limited Edition, very last as it features the LE number 3500/3500. A full collector grade set, including everything as pictured, initially sold in Switzerland. A safe queen.

    I am refocusing on vintage and this is my last modern Speemaster. Not sure I want to see it go, but we all know, the eventual good opportunity will make it happen.

    What I am looking for is a trade (+cash/other watches or both, to be discussed) :

    - 345.0809 - full set (mint condition exclusively)
    - 145.022-68 - full set (great condition exclusively)
    - 105.003 in a great condition, box and papers are a plus
    - 105.002 in a great condition, box and papers are a plus
    - Vintage Seamaster 300 great condition, box and papers are a plus

    No need to ask for selling, PM's with price offers will be ignored.

    For sure I can provide with any pictures you want in case of a potential trade, but the set is in a bank vault atm. Plenty of references available here and elsewhere, too.

    I am located in Switzerland and face to face is preferred. I will be in Washington DC by the end of September, so meeting there would also be an option.

    Thanks for reading and thanks to OF for the space. :thumbsup:

    Hey @kov, did the cloth badge originally come with this set? Mine doesn't have it and I thought I had everything it originally came with. Anyway, beautiful piece and best of luck with changing around your collection direction.

    Hmmm I am not 100% now but I'd say yes, it was. I also had one in the Apollo XIII LE set as far as I can remember.

    Thanks for the kind words ! A lot of consolidation and refocusing going on this year ;)

    Just to help the OP out. This set never came with a cloth patch, it has been added at an earlier date.

    The Apollo XIII set 100% had one.

    Yes it did, I have seen numerous, including mine and it came in packaging.

    They often get lost or misplaced though
