    Oh yeah, thanks. Mine appears to have printing error on the M as well. The middle of the letter isn't there

    Just saw this in the AD window today. Asking $6670.00. It is a nice looking watch though

    Omega shop wouldn't budge but I also managed to get a pretty significant discount by going to a different AD

    The Omega boutiques won't discount (in my experience), but the AD's will (most of the time). The AD I purchased from had it listed at full retail, but came down 15% (before tax).

    Guys I've been looking for a blue dial watch for ages and my AD calls me up and mentions he has one of the last pieces of this watch for sale, his pitch was very dramatic but the bottom line is I have been looking for a blue dial watch for sometime now.

    He is refusing to discount the watch's price, so he is offering at full price.

    I need your wisdom guys, I've been looking all over for a blue dial watch and nothing seems to be working for me. Pictures wise this watch looks gorgeous but I have no idea how it will wear and the gold accents are scaring me a little. Also can anybody tell me how thick it is? in some pics it looks slim but in others I feel like the case in the bottom is really thick.

    I'm very partial to this watches dial but essentially this is a blind buy and the watch is becoming very sparse.

    Any feedback would be appreciated.

    It’s a cracking watch - loads of different upgrades. Ceramic dial and bezel. Sapphire. Touch of gold and the adjustable clasp. The 9 o’clock dial is not for everyone but as an Apollo 11 owner I can forgive a watch that. The only thing I was less keen on was that the Sub dials are printed and there was no depth to them

    overall, At mrsp this was pretty good IMO. One of the few watches I regret moving on and they are a tough find at a reasonable price.

    If you like it, go for it.

    I have seen one in person, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful watch (off a friend), I am really surprised that an AD still has one unsold. I gave instruction to several ADs to get me one and had made an offer (trying my luck with a below MSRP price) for an unused one

    Thanks everyone for your feedback, it mobilized me to get the watch. And after a nervous wait till it arrived ( blind buy), it is more beautiful than I had imagined, the blue on this is just magical its deep blue, navy, royal with shades of purple depending on the lighting. I hope my pic captures some of its magic.

    I was hoping to save and wait to see what will be announced on October 5th but this one is so freaking gorgeous but took a chance. Another plus is I can finally put to rest my blue watch obsession, god I was going mad trying blue watches left and right from brand to brand, however, after an extensive search this one is by far "the fairest of them all"!

    Great looking watch! Congratulations!

    As you mentioned in your previous post, you bought it from AD as a brand new piece. Do you have known misspelled text inside the box (in majority of boxes there is manking instead of mankind in the last sentence ) or you got the corrected version? Just curious if they changed the boxes (as mentioned by someone some time ago in different thread).

    Well, I guess that you’re in a possession of unique box :) My bet is there are much more misspelled boxes in the wild than the corrected ones.

    My number is 1568 but I bought the watch already in March 2018, that’s why I’m having manking :)
