    Got it about a week ago. Omega shipped in with a regular box. The anniversary box was complete when it arrived

    The various textile and leather straps that people have used are fine, but it is hard to beat the new, thin proprietary Apollo 11 steel bracelet. I haven't seen anything yet that would want me to change it. But everybody has their own idea of what looks good and works for them.

    Wow, that's amazing! You are very lucky. I've been trying to persuade my AD to let me have their golden astronaut but apparently they have to return all the advertising materials to Omega. No joy getting one despite my pleas!

    That’s so cool! I was admiring the display and gold spaceman just the other day.

    I had the impression that is hard to photograph this beauty but it’s a dead easy to grab its glory!!

    Any gold LE owners on here in London area willing to show me their watch? I was offered the SS on Friday but declined as I want to hold out for a gold... I asked if buying it would help my position but they said no. I’d be really keen to see on in the flesh if anyone can oblige. My AD are yet to get their allocation.

    Thank you! Plan is to keep it, will remove all plastics next week and start wearing it.. winding is not very easy though, kinda hard to get the crown comfortably

    From your pics it looks like it needs a few links taken out to fit properly. The winding will loosen up somewhat as you use it.

    I find it very stiff initially to wind, but after a number of use, it became much easier

    I just got the Apollo 11 bracelet fitted to my Silver Snoopy, and it’s amazing. It worked using 19mm spring bars. Ω SKU 068ST2107 to be exact.
