Have to say I LOVE the strap that comes with it i'm normally a metal fan but this just somehow suits it so well. The worn thing works amazingly.

 

I like the look of it, some lovely details.

 

Oh well.... Not all of us move with the times. I don't just collect pieces I love or even like. But, whether they are relevant to my collection or significant, and you've guessed it

 

I lived through the 80's once, so I don't need to go back to when TT was popular thanks. I love the music of that era, but the fashion was flashy/gaudy/over the top, and IMO shouldn't be repeated...unless of course that's your thing. You be you, man...

I don't buy something I don't like just to make sure I have one for the sake of having one of everything.

 

That's all I can see, that bracelet. Sure wish we could get it for the standard Pro. Dang.

 

Yes great if you like your stuff pre-fucked...

 

Well, I’m not convinced about this anniversary Speedmaster, but not too bad as far as a riff on the same theme goes. The price point is too high imho and I’m equally not convinced about the Co-axial driving it - Omega could have easily pressed their 321 into this to make it more representative as to Aldrin’s ST 105.012 . The so called Moongold ™ doesn’t do a thing for me. Will the front graphic be a pixilated transfer like the many other omega sundial transfers? And the gold print, for whatever reason, makes the A in omega jump out like a pop tart on the dial. I really don’t know what to think on this...I don’t mind the case back though. LE of 6969 - really? Why not 1969?

 

ROTFL

 

And by the look of it, the E isn’t centred under the middle of the applied logo

 

Hopefully, that is just the angle of the photo. Otherwise, that is some poor quality control!

 

I think that’s pretty much front on

 

I'm normally at the front of the queue of the doom mongers when it comes to LE editions of any watch , but this really is a special LE given that it's a 50th & how many of us can really say I will be here for the 100th . So take a breath , think about it & get one while you can with its minor imperfections . And who or what, has ever been the perfect finished item . I literally ran to my local AD when I saw what a great watch it is , just hoping I can pick one up . More power to omega on such a lovely watch & tribute to those brave men that went into the previously unknown .

 

Can't unsee this now...

 

There are too many aspects of this release that I don't like to consider visiting my local AD to order:

- The two tone stepped dial. It may be the way the light reflects off the dial but the main part of the dial looks a dark grey, the stepped outer looks black.
- The 9 o'clock sub-dial image lacks elegance. Obviously it's a significant image but IMHO lacks subtlety and class.
- The asymmetry of the 'OMEGA' font. The misalignment of the 'E' under the logo was the second thing I noticed when I first saw it. The seemingly large 'A' I hadn't noticed but have now and, I agree, it looks odd.

The bracelet, caseback etc. look beautiful and I'd be happy with the co-axial movement and even happier if it was an automatic. Heresy for some, I know.

 

Wow... They are really milking this moon landing thing aren't they...

 

Why on earth would you spend money on something you don't like?

Utter nonsense.

 

From a 105.012 ...

 

I have a deposit and am first with a very trusted AD. It looks great to me. I don’t like two tone particularly but this does not look like that. I think it looks great and am looking fwd to seeing in the metal. My wife hates gold, but likes this. Go figure.

We will see. But I’d rather have this than a tacky two tone Rolex. (My opinion only, no responses required)
