    Hi all wanted to introduce myself. Not a first time omega owner, I have had dsotm in the past. I was in a boutique in London looking at the gsotm and the dealer could see that I was not quite over the line with it. After handling a gold FOIS and all of the new versions of the dsotm he said he had something a bit different that he got in for someone else but they were a no show.

    That's when he showed me the 45th Apollo anniversary edition. Wow I was smitten. Anyway I actually left without buying as I like to research before jumping in I love how the watch mimics the moon, lander etc So I rang back and managed to secure it.

    I have added a strap as the NATO did not do it for me. I am now a proud owner. Thanks for reading.

    So that's what we call it.
    So much easier
    The XI-45.

    I figured we needed a shorthand for some of these. I'd taken to calling it the 45 or the 45th, but that wouldn't work for my XI-35 for instance as there are a bunch of other 35th Anniversary Speedmaster models.

    Great purchase. Consider adding the Titanium bracelet. Really sets the case off.

    Great choice. Mine says hi, seen here on the Ti bracelet, relaxing on a recent vacation trip.

    Very nice. Good choice of the leather strap over the NATO strap.
