They're out, as far as I know. I've called nearly every boutique and AD in the last week; couple AD's think they MIGHT be able to snag one but the boutiques have all said it's out.

I grabbed one from DavidSW at $9800 pre-owned, immaculate condition just yesterday, so I'm pumped!

There's one for sale in the sale section from a reseller in Europe that's BNIB for a small premium if you have to get new with stickers intact.

 

There are always a few held back to cover for screwups in distribution, and some are still held by dealers and boutiques where the 'owner' can't decide if he wants the watch or not. These eventually get released onto the market, but distribution is essentially done at this point. You might find one at a dealer or boutique, but not very likely.

 

Do you know if the piece was polished?

 

It was not - I specifically asked this question when I went in to see it, and the lines looked very sharp as well, even if my pictures don't show it too clearly.

 

Mine was a result of someone canceling their order from another OB in a different state. I had popped into my local OB and let them know I was looking for one after missing out a small batch that got released for online ordering. They called me 2 days after I stopped by to let me know they would be able to secure a piece for me when they saw the cancellation notice on their system. Lucky timing on my part I guess.

 

Congrats!! Even better since it’s cheaper than a new one plus taxes!

 

thank you

 

It's been a while in the making with delays, postage etc. but following on from a PM with Yong @YY77 2-3 months ago, I reached out to Aaron for a nato in a similar vein to Yong's original bespoke strap, not great pics but it just arrived today!
I wanted a nato slightly longer than needed to fold back so I could see the reverse and wow does it pop for me

Couldn't be happier, thank-you Aaron and Yong

 

No better time than the present to discard with the protective sticker on the sapphire now it's complete.

 

Been looking for one for some time. My OB called and said they have one available. Was pleasantly surprised they are still available. Gotta be one of the last ones out in the wild. Is it safe to assume OB can only sell new unworn watches?

 

While I believe the OB only sell unworn/new watches, they do have an exchange only policy and there could be a chance someone returned one. But it’s likely someone just cancelled their allocation. Inspect the watch and if you don’t see any issues with it, get it!

 

Don't know if the link to Apollo 11 Real-Time Mission Experience has been shared here before. https://apolloinrealtime.org/11/

50+ years later I still get goosebumps listening to it.

 

I think you have more chance that the Watch is totally new than a returned one.
I also heard that not all 1014 Moonshine gold have been delivered yet (more than one year after...)

 

A few moonshine gold available at OBs in Paris, if anyone is interested.

 

Anyone knows the Reference Number of the steel bracelet from Apollo 11 50th?

That is not surprising. While a gorgeous watch, its 36.5K USD price , puts it out of reach of most (including me ).

 

My stainless and moonshine gold bezel was delivered in 2020.
