I’ve never owned a contemporary gold watch. Now I am kicking myself for sleeping on the Moonshine 50th - beautiful!!

 

Have patience and buy at or below msrp in Dec

 

I would be surprise if either of them go below msrp, specially in December.

 

Way too high volume and 321 in fall means there is no way this stays hot. Lovely piece but the hype won’t last forever.

 

aww cute

 

For what I have gathered from the OB and here the 321 will come in precious metals and really small numbers so the price should be higher than the 50th ( I’m thinking mid 20’s and up) I really don’t think that there will be any competition between these pieces for sales as the 50th is already allocated around the world and the big price difference. I’m not saying that the price will stay high for ever. I just think that December is really close to even think that they will go below msrp.

 

Thanks for your reply. Would be interested in hearing more on this when you wind it again. I find it difficult to wind too which is why I asked in the first place.

 

Yes its difficult, this morning was difficult.

Much stiffer than the normal pro or other variants with 1861.

Seems the teeth are louder too. Doesn't bother me much, but yes, stiffer, louder winding mechanism.

 

Thanks for confirming I’m not alone.

 

Beautiful piece, congrats! I can’t wait to get mine.
Any wrist shots of it on the cork strap?

 

Just got the call from the boutique mine is sat there waiting to be picked up

 

Great news, are you North America? I think they are slowly turning up there now

 

No I’m near Manchester uk

 

Manchester uk

 

Which boutique?

 

FIFY

That’s the bit your missing now. Your spruiking about the only way you can afford nice watches is selling snapped up LEs at profit to fellow members.

Sorry I haven’t said much on this but, shitting in your own back yard is going to bring you flack.

Do what you do but learn a bit of diplomacy for god sake man

Pump all you want here, just dump somewhere else.

 

Yep,

same with the goldie 50th 3861 movement … really different to the older ones,
maybe because the watch is new, but i think it is related to the movement.

Yes, it will probably loosen up with time. However, 60th Anniversary Speedy, “original” Speedy Tuesday and Ultraman (all with 1861 I believe) were all so easy to wind from new, even when on the wrist. Can’t expect the same behaviour from different movements I guess. Was just interested in what other owners thought, that’s all.
