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

Stufflers Mom

I've sent a message tonight to my UK OB, if he can dig one up I will put you in touch if that helps.

Popped into my AD today. They’ve still only received 2 of the 5 they were allocated. I’m number 4 still. I asked the question “are you sure the other 3 are definitely coming” to which they replied “hell yeah id bet good money on getting the remaining 3”. So I’m still holding out hope. They are still hoping it to be before the end of the year.

It's unfortunate that in Brazil I tried to get one. I was promised one by the AD in Fortaleza, he told me that I was the first one to request so I was sure I would receive my watch but back in late September the owner told me that I didn't have my watch guaranteed and that they had already allocated the watches they would receive to other customers.
I was so pissed, spent about 2 weeks angry at the situation and at the AD, I'm pretty sure he just bumped other costumers infront of me because they shoved some money in the owners pocket.
Sent an email to the Omega HQ in Switzerland, explaining everything that happened and, surprisingly, I got an answer to my email and a call from the Omega Brazil's Country Manager saying that she's sorry and offering the new Omega Seamaster JB, well... I honestly am still in love with the Apollo 11 Steel and Gold but I'm not willing to pay the market price for it, if anyone found some place that is charging the regular asking price by Omega I would be interested.

I'm in Sao Paulo on the list for it since may (launch date) and even so couldn;t get one. Just a few came to here (just 4 for Sao Paulo OB) and I was not lucky enought to be on the top of it.

I was informed that 20 would be arriving for Sao Paulo, you might want to call the dealer. Maybe there are still 16 waiting to arrive.
2 Would arrive at Fortaleza so I doubt Sao Paulo would only receive 4 since it's the only place in the country to have an Omega Boutique

They told me 20 was for entire country and just 4 for São Paulo OB.. I was 7th on the list and they confirm that I will not get mine.

Stufflers Mom

Did you ever man up and tell us which AD you have your name on zee list?

Japanred

Well it’s finally arrived. I received the call on Thursday and picked it up today. Haters won’t be happy but I’m over the moon (no pun intended) 😁

Also managed to get myself on the list for an Apollo XIII.

Stufflers Mom

Great job, really please that you got it in the end.

Japanred

Just out of interest, what made you so sure that I wouldn’t get it?

I ignored your posts initially but when you were so persistent that I wouldn’t get it, I’ll admit I did start to wonder myself whether it would ever arrive...

Would you mind telling us what the 1st digit of the serial number is? I'm feeling like they won't get them all out by 2019.

I'm patiently waiting for my OB to deliver. I told him I want the last one built and it's ok to drag feet, as long as we get the allocation.

I have a barely worn A11 SS... if you can get your hands on a 007 SM coming out, I'll trade ya...
