Such a cool moonwatch in my opinion and great history behind it. One just popped up on eBay:

Way too high for my budget and even if it were I would not even attempt with seller with 0 feedback.

What do you guys think? Cool or overrated?

@ulackfocus I have a feeling I know what you will say

 

There are several fairly recent threads on OF about these watches.

 

Looks like the alaska project watch called for a shaved back of the hand model versus the one showing the Daytona same seller has listed..
.

 

$7500 is really high, IMHO, these have been selling for $6000 recently, and could be had for $4500 as early as beginning of this year.

 

Does seem very high, but since I have one I'm OK with that. Can't see it selling for anywhere near what they started the listing at.

 

Fascinating how this went from being unloved to being collectable. Those darned White dialled speedmasters!!

 

There, fixed that for you.

 

mmmm hairy wrist shot.

 

I'm not a fan of the Alaska. Sure it's neat when you first see it with the red case, but the mercury capsules are a turn off. Now the other white speedies, Japanese Panda or Italian silvered dial... me want.

 

Those are the very things some of is find attractive in it.

I love my Alaska. Wish I had two.

 

All personal preference

 

Here is the YouTube review that got me hooked on this one:

I do like the minor differences in the chrono sub dials, makes it more unique, but a part of me would have liked to see more white too.

 

Very true, indeed.

 

Would you wear the red cover thingy during ofc mtg? It looks like someone stuck a red donut on the watch. Then again, it makes the best bezel/watch protector out there. I wish i can use the donut on my other watches during strenuous activities.

 

The red cover of this watch is fully astonishing. I like this a lot i too got this watch in a gift by my company

 

Huge watch with the attachment on

I love it, but the price gave me pause when it was under $4k so at $6k...I'm out. I did pick up a mitsukoshi dial.

 

It all depends on what type of office meeting or strenuous activities you're referring too

 

1 - How long have you worked for your company to get this gift?

2 - Can I work for your company? I can give you a list of 100 strengths
