Omega Speedmaster Apollo 11 50th Anniversary in Gold – Breaking News

They may be concerned over their profits, but so are shareholders apparently.

We see them sell a few high priced items and assume they’re making big profits, but in reality the paremt company is not (at least not on the whole - if share price history is any indication).

I hope the steel version will have at least some gold in it, since it’s the golden anniversary after all

The rumor is it will have a gold bezel. I would guess Moonshine gold but would love to see white gold!

Beautiful and a faithful reissue.. but at £25,600 out of my league unless I sell a child or kidney...

Compromise: sell a child’s kidney. You can leave them the watch as payment when the time comes.

That's a great idea! I've got five kids so that equals five great watches right?

Or 10 watches...

Then you probably also are aware that Rolex is probably the only brand (perhaps with Patek) where you can experience

Then you probably also are aware that Rolex is probably the only brand (perhaps with Patek) where you can experience this. You also know about their strategy of just not delivering watches. Thing is, I don't buy as an investment, yet I have never lost on a Speedmaster. A Seamaster or Constellation, perhaps and I know you will take it based on RRP, but with a Speedmaster I simply never lost. That said, I buy what I like and what I want to give some wear. I have my Rolexes, my AP, my other things, but what I truly enjoy wearing are Speedmaster watches. If that costs a bit of money, fine.

On the long term, I am pretty sure that my collection will have and hold a certain value. I don't sell watches often (only to purchase others), but I can imagine I would make a loss when I would sell this gold Speedmaster within a certain timeframe of purchasing. But I have no intentions to do so and I can imagine that in 20 years from now, the value will be over today's retail. Much worse than the 0.20% I get on my savings account isn't going to happen anyway.

I agree. I should add that only a few Rolex watches are actually investment pieces and only because Rolex choose not to release them in the market.
For example what would be the actual resale value of a modern Pepsi ss gmt if it was as readily available as the Speedmaster? It would sell below retail, as the Speedmaster.

Does anyone know if it’s even sold out yet?

Also, to call this a “limited edition” is laughable with those production numbers.

CaptDngr

These numbers are actually low compared to prior limited editions. Silver Snoopy Edition had 1970, I believe

cholack

Defintiely not for the average person or collector, and honestly a disappointing choice IMHO.

Also, to call this a “limited edition” is laughable with those production numbers.

Just my 2 cents

rominvicta

Curious how many should be considered LE as of your opinion? As of mine, considering the fact that there are over 7 bln people around the globe 1014 pcs is quite limited number.
