·Surprised that they didn't have the Astronaut Kit display box for your watch, that's the first I've heard of that. Everyone else got the full kit. When did they say you would get your box?
Omega Apollo 11 50th Anniversary Moonwatch Gold and Steel. Any in the wild yet?

·So do you get to keep the non-display box in addition to getting the display box later for the inconvenience? Or did they request you return it when you get the display box?

·With MWO pics in background ...
and next to its brothers. The empty slot is reserved for next year's 50th Anniversary of Apollo 13, if doable ...
Great strap!
Do you have a model number or a link to the piece on their website?

·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!

·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.

To those wondering about fitting the bracelet onto a vintage Speedy, or saying it won’t fit, I present this guy on Reddit, who bravely agreed to try a swap at my request.
Let me preface this by saying I’m a little nervous about what could be an unseated pin on the 6 o’clock side, resulting in a sloped endlink. But it could just be an illusion.
The guy says the watchmaker at an OB simply popped it off the 50th and put it on his 321. He says the fit is snug with no wobble.
Scroll past the video for stills and another video.

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.
