Omega Apollo 11 50th Anniversary Moonwatch Gold and Steel. Any in the wild yet?

taz101

I just want to say, as i've been viciously trolled by some members on this forum which i've come to greatly value over my years as an Omega collector to which I have many as well as Rolex. Just because I buy some watches to sell, gives you NO right to seek me out to abuse and attempt to humiliate me. I do not have to justify myself to any of you if I decide to sell something and if I comment on what I think about a watch..that's also my right to do so. I have been accused of being a 'PIMP' on this forum. Having commented on everything to 'PUMP UP' my sales and having a 'USUAL STRATEGY'. Some of you need to understand the only reason others get first in line on these pieces is because we work hard with ADs to build strong relationships buying lots of watches..some I keep, some I sell. That's it. I've already had two people post abuse about me on my own sales thread for this watch which I think is disgusting (all saved and screenshotted then reported)

So I will say lastly, this forum should be a free FORUM where members can post, comment, sell without being witch hunted by others or send abuse.

Apologies for going off topic and please enjoy this great historical piece.

You gotta expect some type of backlash, though.... Full Disclosure: It's your timepiece and you are well within your right to sell it, absolutely. But here's the rub I think.... There are collectors like me that truly enjoy these timepieces and buy them with the intention of wearing it and passing off to my son. However, there are times (like the Ultraman) that the timepiece gets swooped up by Pump and Dumpers to make a quick buck, thus leaving the true collectors to pay a premium over price. Think of it like concert tickets being "sold out", but actually the secondary resellers, buys them all up and then dumps them to the market for a huge mark up, just for profits. Just because you can, doesn't mean you should.... at least that's what I think the brouhaha is......

Thats fine and I respect your opinion but I am not a millionaire and the only way I can afford pieces that I want to keep and hand down is to flip others to make a profit to offset, that is really it. If some people have an issue with that, that's fine too but I don't believe you should be abused for it One stated 'buy the seller' which I see as a defamation on my part and if you check my sales threads I have nearly 10 sales all with happy customers.

Brother, unfortunately that is the environment that we currently live in... the good and bad thing about having platforms and forums like this is that we get to express ourselves...everybody has an opinion and everyone wants to be heard. Look, I get where you're coming from, but know that whatever you post, wherever you post, you will open yourself up to scrutiny.... just the sign of the times. Just do you, but like I tell my kids, don't ever do something you can't defend rationally..... NOT SAYING WHAT YOU'RE DOING IS INDEFENSIBLE

"Viciously trolled". I almost dropped a tear. Your whole speech is contradictory. You want to make some business and make profit on hot models ? Well it is your right and I can respect that, but be frank about it and stop posing yourself as a victim of "vicious trolls", coming to cry here, justifying your behaviour saying that you are not a billionaire and you that because you need to fund a full gold model lol.

As you state this is a FREE forum, and people have the right to question your behaviour. Wether they have the right or not to do so in the sales section is another story, and this will be up to the mods.

You are on the internet, you choose to pick up a coveted LE to make profit, feel free to do so, do it on the forum, why not, but don't cry when people criticize your attitude respectfully. And don't tell that you don't have to justify yourself when you've just given shitty excuses instead of endorsing you're choice of making money out of LE (which I don't have much problem with).

Key there pal is RESPECTFULLY..which some have and I have responded to them respectfully..others not so much 😀

I'm hoping the pictures aren't doing it justice ...... the more I look at it in pics, the more I'm losing interest in it.... but sure hope that wow factor is still there when I have it on my wrist....
