    Well, as we say in French "only idiots don't change their mind!". ::shy::

    After having pondered the specifics of this watch, realizing that the vintage ones are now in unobtainium territory.... and getting super lucky thanks to @speedy99 's tip.... the Moonshine Gold landed on my wrist!! ::love::

    Looks like these pieces are either with collectors or famous people

    Well, I am by no means famous... and hope to never be. ;)

    As far as being a collector, may be, but given the amazing company of enthusiasts on this community with truly "out of this world collections"... I would consider myself to be a very humble one. :thumbsup:

    Did you get to buy the astronaut too? Here in the UK we have been told that these are not available for sale.

    I will try to get a shot of it... but since I only have my cell phone camera with me... not sure how successful it will be since it is "vraiment petit"!!

    Cool, thanks! Does the Manual indicates from which Apollo mission does the moon stone comes from?...

    Moon meteorite - NASA or the US government won‘t sell you a moon rock. Would be interesting to calculate their value, the missions weren‘t cheap after all...

    Any chance of getting these still? If anyone has any tips towards an OB with availability or they are looking to back out of their reservation please PM.

    I’ve been told they haven’t really hit the US OBs yet and no, basically no chance of getting one in the US at this point as there is a wait lost longer than the number allocated here to begin with.

    Of course, you're right. I was really dreaming about touching a moon stone...

    If the wait list is so long? Why are there so many on Chrono24 at discount already? Seems to me if those on the wait list really wanted one, they would pick one up from one of those sellers or even the one listed in the for sale section! I think at these price points, there are so many other choices for people to make from Patek, AP, Lange,...
