    A bottle of Bollinger Champagne, with the omega logo, that's the best part.
    I don't remember having had one. I have to speak to my watchmaker :D

    Glad you can get one :)

    if i can ask, does anyone know if it is really sold out? or just rumors ?
    Other question for the owners of this beauty, and if you don't mind, which number u get (or close to) ... mine is around 100 ? i often see pictures where the number (like xxxx/1972) is blurred, is there any reason ?

    1. People who make Fake watches are happy to get such numbers (to use on their own Replica)
    2. To protect Dealers
    3. Avoid that some people report the watch as stolen

    Cheers,

    I went to collect my reserved stainless steel one from a London OB today. I then saw the gold one and wow! I was instantly put off buying the ss one and have asked the OB to see if they can get me a gold version. Unlikely they said but if I'm gonna get one of these it has to be the gold. The gold case and blue dial just works so well.

    I also think the Apollo logo in gold relief looks much better and the overall dial just looks more balanced than the SS version.

    I agreed, but unfortunately, I cannot afford the gold. :(

    Beautiful. Does the gold version come with the leather strap or bracelet?

    Oh man, that bottom version is awesome. The Robert McCall patch in the 9 oclock subdial.

    Reminds me of the Apollo 17 Missions series I had about 10 years ago. I probably had a grand total of $8500 tied up in both of these watches at the time. LOL
