I'm liking it. Admittedly, they're pushing the price and total number of watches quite a bit but they've got my money.

Really like the bracelet and I like the looks of the cork strap as well. Dial is fun and the amount of gold provides a nice touch without being too flashy.

I'm kinda liking it, but I would have liked to see a display caseback, and the foot print on the 9 o'clock subdial.

They will sell all of them, and when they put this movement in standard version the price gap will be a lot less. Can't compare this watch with current SMP.
You seem so confident. I note a few weeks ago you used the 12k FOIS sold as a reason why they can sell nearly 7k of these. At nearly 3 times the price. It’s taken 7 years to sell those so not sure if your confidence is really justified. This will be nearly £9,000 in the UK market so I think it’ll be a tough sell personally.

I feel the same way.

For me the full gold one was 10/10. This a 6. Don't like the astronaut on the dial......bit tacky for me., also not a fan of 2 tone, though this is better in that respect then expected.

Wished they just done it in steel and kept the moon stuff on the back, but sure plenty will like it, I'm sure it'll sell. Be a sad world if everyone liked the same thing, its good to have choices., hope others really like it and enjoy it when it arrives.

Agreed. Footprint on the subdial, sapphire case back with the image etched into the glass would have been fantastic imo.

I consider myself the marginal buyer in that I own a classic hesalite speedy (which I love) but have passed on all the limited editions to focus on other brands. I will absolutely buy this watch.

I'm sure they will sell all of them. But still the price gap is deep. When you look at the prices for LE in the past, it was still affordable. But yeah you need to take into consideration the futur price of the basic model once they will put the 3861 inside...

I think it looks great. Personally, I really like that stepped dial and the Moonshine gold works very well with the deep black of the dial and the bezel.

Agree, some nice touches...bracelet and pushers, and just the right amount of gold.

i won't be calling my OB to cancel. I'm in.

Is this the same bracelet as the trilogy set?
I was wondering that too but I don't think it's the same. This one looks more curved like the original 1039 bracelet. Looks cool!

First impression: hmmm, ok, I like it.... not sure I love it enough to spend 10k$ though. 😒

😕
