Dear all,

i’ve recently been pulled into the black hole of watch collecting. Never wanted this to happen, but i’ve decided to go with the flow

Apologies in advance if there is already such a thread, but couldn’t find it via the search function.

As a beginner, it’s sometimes difficult to understand where to start. I bought some good books, but would still like to get your inputs.
So here it goes: If you would have to choose one limited edition moonwatch, which one would it be and why?

Let the games begin!

Cheer and thanks in advance!

 

I’m not a LE kind of guy. But if I was to splurge, I’d probably go for the Apollo 17 45th anniversary.

 

Best of luck...

Edit: Take your time and look at the models and follow what sings to you, in all honesty that's the best approach... and a hefty bank balance.

For me, as I also only recently got into watches myself and going down the rabbit hole, I've started with the latest 3861 Speedmaster models

 

Why this one over others?

 

I love the blue dial with gold accents, and the racing style markers. Just comes together beautifully.

 

The A13 45th is a bargain so I would go for that.

Apollo Soyuz 35th and nothing comes close to it... reverse panda is my favorite chrono dial configuration, and use of meteorite dial is unique for each of 1975 limited models so you can say that every owner have a piece unique...

 

Great, now I only need to find 40k

 

this picture is not exhaustive.. and I am not sure the watchbase which has more is either ...

No it's not but it gives @Perre some indication of the rabbit hole

 

Looks dangerously deep...

 

downright poisonous

 

I tried to choose just one...not really. It just doesn't work that way.

This is my first Limited Edition Speedmaster. Also known as the Gemini IV or more commonly called the Best Ever Limited Edition Speedmaster. I bought this 6+ years ago.

 

Great dial!

 

An unusual choice, but I agree it’s a really nice and discreet one (and I’ve got one)!

 

Yea it seems to be an unpopular choice, but I’m not quite sure why.

 

I don’t dislike it, but the dial is a bit too busy for me
