    Have any Speedmaster enthusiasts received their DSOTM Apollo 8 yet? Hope to see some photos and opinions here soon.

    Wild looking Speedie, very modern styled but must admit I kinda like it.

    Wow! I’ve loved these since they were announced, hopefully will see one in the flesh one day. Don’t think I’ll be able to afford one for a while though!

    Given Today's news. Maybe Omega will change the back of the case to "First probe on the Dark Side" and send all the inventory to China. ;)

    I was lucky enough to see this today, I passed as I'm still hopeful on a good deal on the Titanium Speedy and I've had the nod that I will get a 50th anniversary when they come out. There was some confusion regarding the release as they thought it might be as early as the end of Jan.

    I liked it. fairly light on the wrist which was to be expected. The dial looked great and very nicely made, sized at 44.25mm wasn't a issue on my wrist. The movement wound very nicely and this would be a pleasure to wind up every couple of days, but I wasn't sure about the use of yellow throughout the watch, but I'm sure it will sell very well.

    Love:
    - the skeleton dial.
    - use of yellow.
    - the different colour on the running 2nds hand.

    Hate:
    - that my watch budget for 2019 is already TOAST!

    Wear it in good health!

    Looks good, was thinking it may be too big for me, need to see in the flesh I guess. Didn’t realise this was manual, assumed auto - even more appealing!

    Thanks for this - there seem to only have been sightings on that side of The Pond which somehow makes it easier to cope with over here :)
