·The one with the 3 planets? That was available at a discount for years! It’s probably still in stock at a dealer somewhere. Asking prices and prices achieved can vary significantly...
There's a very nice pre-owned example close to where I live, boxed and papers, asking price is £5450 but it has been in the window for several months with no takers.

and the originals from 1969 that I have kept to this day
and the picture of Buzz that I put on my wall as a kid that inspired me to become an aerospace research engineer 18 years later
the sticky tape I used is still attached to the corners.

·Thank you! It is really nice. Moonshine gold is very subtle. Bracelet is amazing. And packaging is fun. It will stay on the wrist all of this month to commemorate the historic event!!

·My watch finally arrived this morning. Sooo stoked!!!
Everything I’ve read so far about how gorgeous this piece looks in person is true! Absolutely stunning! What surprised me the most was how good the bracelet looked and how well it goes with this watch. I’m not big into having the perfect bracelet TBH but wow, this bracelet with this anniversary edition really IS a perfect combination.
Including a few pics here to share. For anyone curious, I picked it up from my OB in Vancouver, Canada. Piece 7XX /6969

·Got the call, took the drive.
Better on the wrist for sure, but I think I need to wear it for a while before I arrive at a conclusive opinion. One thing’s for sure though - this sapphire crystal has a MUCH better profile than the one on the XI 45th. Still has a milky ring, but looks and feels more like hesalite.

·Oh and for those of you still wondering about the bracelet, it does not fit the standard Speedmaster. There’s a little notch in the case between the lugs and a little lip on the end link.

·So if the lip/protruding piece on the bracelet end link is machined flat to match the curve on the top part of the bracelet end link it will fit, right?
Edit: Do the pin holes in the lugs match the same position on the standard Speedy?

Maybe / leaning towards probably. You try it 😜

I think so, I tried it on my Ultraman and I think if it weren't for the lip, it'd have fit.

And who is brave enough to machine that lip off the new bracelet to see if it will work? Any volunteers? If it doesn't work you have ruined the bracelet as it will not fit properly on the Apollo 11 case, you'll have the same problem, a bracelet that isn't supported by anything other than two thin spring bars.

·Resale price for a piece has now been reserved for ~ US$16k, and I don’t think this is the ceiling.

··Oooo subtitles!Really? And you know it sold for that? Someone (Ryan) on TZ-UK offered his last week at £250 under the RRP. I believe it sold. Granted that was perhaps a special case but do try to keep the speculation grounded.

·Chrono24 lists a reserved one for €11.9k seems to be lower ceiling than $16k
