The only people I maybe feel bad for are the Californians that were completely asleep. Most other true collectors that would appreciate the #speedytuesday aspect had at least 2 hours during their morning commutes to grab one. It was trending like crazy. I also know 2 good friends that managed to score one 24 hours later just by refreshing a few times.... so it was definitely possible to get one after the fact. This was also confirmed by many other people on the forums.

Can't have everything and you win some and you lose some. As much as I like the watch... the value aspect certainly matters with collecting and it makes everything more fun and interesting (in my opinion). Even my favorite watches get old after a while. If I only bought watches I loved, I'd probably be broke right now!

I definitely think there will be a big premium initially and I agree that there will then be a steady long term increase over the next few years as well. Besides, anyone that missed out can just buy a 5513, hold it for a year, and then use those profits to offset the ST premium... 5513s are still doubling every year, right? 馃榾

There is a list of approximately 7 k people on waiting list, and even R-JB confirmed that he witnessed a single reservation went for 3500 EUR. So love it or hate it but the watch is going to hold the value quite well, which in my opinion is a good thing for those who manage to buy it.

Is this any different to the Rolex Ceramic Daytona, the new SD 43, the PP Aquanaut and Nautilus - the world is full touts.

Well with all the excitement and reading of people being told they will be able to collect soon I had to do something so I ordered a 1171 bracelet.

Reading into it should be a good fit(especially for the smaller wrist) and no polished centre links to worry about. I can live with rattly end links.

I did the same! Ordered one yesterday.

I wonder if all the initial batch will be heading to OB's? I'm guessing so. Why oh why did I choose an AD, haha.

I see somebody on the ST facebook group has received an email suggesting that as they're one of the first they'd like to make a special thing of it fo media etc. with their permission. Nice!

Yes this was the gist of my other direct email communication last week

I looked in my mail and found an email from omega confirming that I was on the waitinglist for a speedmaster LE. Does that mean that I'm receiving a LE if someone does not pick up or did I manage to secure on?

... haha, I'm pretty sure it says it right there... "wait list", and "if it becomes available" on the image.

There are no guarantees on who gets one or where someone sits on the waiting list.

Excitement is everywhere. Fellow members beginning to over analyse emails and messages.

Hi Guys,

I am on the hunt for an Apollo 11 45th Anniversary..............not entirely sure how to get the ball rolling here but was hoping members on this forum would be able to point me in the right direction, get the ball rolling sort of thing. Does anyone have one for sale or know of any members who do?

Thanks in advance.

There's one currently for sale on the Rolex Forums. Not sure if I'm allowed to link or not. But Google or WatchRecon may help.

There is one on sale in Canada. I can ask the price for you if you really want it.

Thank you......believe that may actually be the same one that Ree was referring to, which was also located in Canada. I have been in touch with the seller and think we have a deal.

Thanks to all of you for your responses!

Thank you, that's kind. But I would guess that it comes with a big premium?

Best regards
Peter
