any one with any experience leaving the stickers on the metal surfaces and wearing them? Many years ago I vaguely recall seeing pictures of corrosion over time from the sweat (which contains salts) drying between the sticker and metallic surfaces of the back of one or two Rolexes (who didn’t peel off the green sticker tag on its back)

Good point, I certainly won't be wearing it with them on as it might look like I've just walked out of the shop with it 🤦

The first one is more precious and gets all the attention, the second is only 0.001k in emotional value. Still want me to pm😁

Beautiful Watch. Really happy to see that You are wearing it with a sense of excitement. It is after all equally important to celebrate the achievement of Tranquility Base a half century ago...This Speedy does it with a measure of Class!

Congrats! Sounds like it's worth $50K to you in enthusiasm dollars 👍

People will have to figure out how to convert to local currencies.....

It’s been very quiet on the forum regarding people taking delivery of the A11 50th anniversary SS since the initial batch was delivered so I would like to contribute to the ongoing saga:

I’ve finally got the Speedmaster I’ve been longing for and although I paid €9K it’s worth € 50K to me. The call came earlier than expected but seems a few cancellations (probably people who had their names on several waiting lists) bumped me up the list at my AD. No thoughts of walking out the door with the stickers not removed, got it resized on the spot for my small wrist so I’m wearing it proudly because this watch deserves to be in the spotlight and not safely tucked away or flipped.

As it is my first Omega/Speedmaster I can say I'm now part of the IMHO highly regarded Speedy community.

Sorry, a few photo's have been added but as I'm at work limited time to do it extensively.
Many congrats. Enjoy it everyday.
