·New to Omega and recently bought the Moonwatch reference 310.30.42.50.01.002. I have an opportunity to buy either the Apollo 8 or DSOM reference 311.92.44.51.01.003. Any advice or thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
Apollo 8 or other DSOM ?

·A8 is distinctive in so many ways - I honestly think it will be seen in 2072 as a vintage classic. If that helps.

·Get the Apollo 8, it won't be made forever. It was made for the 50th anniversary of the flight, 1968. It's been in production for four years, I predict its run is coming to an end.

·Depends on what you want, as always
A8 is cool but for me kind of gimmicky. All the variations that came out, including grey side were all derivations of the original.
I believe the original DSOTM will be the iconic one.
So clean.

·Besides aesthetics, are you looking for an automatic or another manual wind or no preference? I would also recommend trying either/both on in person if possible as they wear very different than the traditional moonwatch

I was in my OB last week and they advised me that the A8 production has now stopped. They had one left in stock and were told by HQ that no others would be coming now.

·I think you made the right choice. 😀 Enjoy your new watch.. I am wonder if it will be a daily wear or only to special occasion?
