There is also a Grey Side of the Moon Meteorite that looks pretty good too.

Don't just say yes at 4900, at least offer 4500 they may have no idea of recent popular demand.

Offer $3900. The damn thing has been sitting there for how many years, and they lost the box.

If the sales guy is wearing a modern Rolex then trust me, this will work.

I do have a spare box... Not perfect but better than none. Omega MAY still be able to procure one as well...

From the Omega Extranet...

94109555 | WATCHBOX SP MOON APOLLO-SOYOUZ

Information: This item is not available anymore

The "any more" is misleading, since they don't sell accessories like these for any LE's, so it was never available.

Went back today. So I offered them $4,000. I told the salesman since it was a window model and missing everything this is the most I can pay.
He discounted $43 馃榿馃榿 and told me that he would give me a regular Omega box. So we are down to $4,900. I played hard ball and told him to speak to his manager and call me since there is another watch I seen and I rather buy that since is new and complete. Guess will have to wait and see 馃う

Buy it especially if you like the particular dial - they are all different, you will never see it again once it is gone.
@Archer Omega got me one about a year back, they may not have been for sale but were available at that point. I actually only wanted the outer, white box but got the whole monty.

This goes directly against Omega's policies, so someone fecked up...you were lucky but this is not the norm...

I obviously have the watch and had it serviced by them - so they knew that it wasn't for any mischievous ends. Anyway, for op: asking doesn't hurt and I have a spare if you need it.

First off, at that price it is a steel and you can always source a box, doubt your get the original tho!

Also, I get the dial, I really do and it is special given it is made from a meteor and every dial is unique - but damn is it ugly (IMO). I've seen it in person and it doesn't complement the pan dial and the recessed sub dials as the regular dials do. Just something to consider. Plus that sapphire crystal - no go for me!

I have personally seen about 3 of these in real life. The sapphire crystal ruins in for me. The glare you see in every picture taken of this watch does not go away from any angle.

@Taddyangle is the master of low balling and getting deals so listen to him. I'm assuming this is a used watch being positioned as new old stock... I'd give it a good look over, and verify condition. It appears highly polished, and I'd bet there is missing black enamel on the caseback. Still, the price is attractive. Boxes do come up for sale so that would not be a deal breaker for me. The sales droid coming back with $43 discount is pretty funny. Good luck.

I would buy it at that price if I were you. If you don't, someone else will. It is a beautiful watch.
