"Dark Side of the Moon" Apollo 8 Arrivals

F Famoroso

Mine landed a few weeks ago and it's A-mazing. My only complaint is the lack of a deployant strap option. I've been going back and forth with Jean Rosseau in an attempt to have a replica of the factory strap made, but for use with a deployant. No luck yet, but fingers crossed and I'm holding my breath.

I'm wearing it on a black NATO in the interim. As much as I liked the PCA GSotM, I LOVE this Apollo 8...

Local AD came through for me

Please keep up posted on the strap for a deployant clasp! Maybe we can do a group buy!

My local AD has one of these sitting in their case. Tried it on and loved it, just didn't have anymore watch budget for 2019. Were these all spoken for (i.e. I was trying on someone's watch) or is it possible my AD in New Hampshire has one available to the public?

I do not know what the situation is with the dealers here in Germany. 😕
Supposedly only a handful have gone to the market here. Boutiques excepted.
Was it possible for you to get a discount on this watch? Or did you get something else?😕

Just picked up today. Have been back and forth since I first tried on. Pulled trigger today. Have to say, it’s lovely in the metal (or ceramic). So light and the detail is fantastic. Is bigger than I would usually wear, but I just about pull it off. It’s lovely and the way the light catches the details on the watch can’t be caught on photos.

What really makes this for me is the relative thinness of the watch with the manual movement. I’m in shirt and tie today and it has no issues slipping under the cuff.

No discount, but a dark side of the moon buckle strap chucked in (they wanted £350 to add the deployant) and a carry case/pouch.

Hi all

I think this is a really nice watch so had a quick look at how much they were selling for on Chrono 24 much to my surprise there is one for sale by a private seller from the UK for £17,000 nearly twice as much as most of them are. I know they are nice and hard to come by but that did shock me I wonder if he will get anywhere near his asking price so soon after release.
