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

Looks like a few AD's and boutique's around the world have a few in stock that are unallocated (like Birmingham UK and Boston). A few lucky souls will be able to get one without putting out any effort other than stumbling into the establishment at the right time.

Just got back from the OB on this Speedy Tuesday inc. watch no. 41xx and the bottle of champage.

Congrats! I'm also 41xx - maybe we're neighbor's?

Almost all numbered edition watches are delivered in a random order, there are often various assembly lines, often in different locations, in different time frames, so cases and movements end up randomized, then they have to go through testing and then shipping around the world where customs can take its time toll. By the time they get to the end user the numbers mean nothing as far as how the edition delivery is going. And the higher the edition number the more randomness you are going to get.

Yes you’re right. I saw it last month on Omega Event at New Delhi. Gold is indeed very sophisticated and subtle. My only concern still is the 9 o’clock sub dial image. Had they swept that with the foot impression from the back, it would have had the best Speedmaster ever for me. It reminds me that we don’t live in a perfect world.
My relations with OB opens the window of buying it whenever it comes to them and I’m really torn between yes and no. I just keep telling myself that at this price I should wait for 321 to come. Then again I realize that this window would be long gone by then. No reprieve yet from this imbroglio.

... I am not a bracelet (it is very nice though) person so searching for ideas for a leather strap - probably black or grey with stripes before wrist time ...

Decided on black leather Buland and Sons with beige-ish stitching, which arrived earlier today ...

Show us more photos of that strap!

Will do when I get back home ...

and next to its brothers. The empty slot is reserved for next year's 50th Anniversary of Apollo 13, if doable ...

I doubt this. I’ve just phoned Birmingham to be nosy and she said there’s absolutely no chance of getting one if not already on their list.

She didn’t say how long the list was but said they’ve got a list much longer than the number of watches available and that they weren’t taking any more names.

I really can’t see anyone being able to get one of these at RRP unless already on a list. I phoned about 25% of the OB’s in the UK before I got on a list and that was 4 months ago.
