Id also vote for the FOIS but doesn’t sound to your taste.
2 other options:
1) wait for the expected Apollo 11 anniversary watch, potentially with 321;
2) the trilogy Speedmaster:
True that. But I feel they are also quite different. I own the FOIS and absolutely love it. It is a bit smaller but that together with the design in general makes it look more vintage and dressy if you know what I mean. The "regular" speedmaster looks more rugged and less dressy. I would not wear it with a suit for example, but the FOIS works great for that with a nice leather strap on. So depends what you will use it for and what else you keep in your watch box 😀
QUOTE="FinWatch, post: 1193133, member: 48211"]What would you do?
I would like to have one special Speedmaster with my ”basic” Moonwatch Professional 311.30.42.30.01.005.
I’ve seen and experienced Apollo XVII, Speedy Tuesday and Ultraman... not for me. At the moment I have two options:
Speedmaster Apollo 8 Dark side of the Moon or the Apollo XI 50th Anniversary Speedmaster, which is possibly two-tone version. This is something that I am not sure if I like (TT)... waiting for the pics.
Snoopy or Alaska would be also great, but just too expensive. And pre-owned special watches might be problematic.
I want to limit my Speedmasters in two, so which Speedmaster would you recommend next to my classic, The Moonwatch (current version) which I have?
Any Apollo 8 -owners?
....I want to limit my Speedmasters in two.....
Another vote for the trilogy Speedmaster
How about a moonphase speedmaster? To further emphasize the connection to the moon.
Or a racing speedmaster? To emphasize the speedmaster’s roots before it became the moonwatch.
Or a rattrapante speedmaster? Since this is the apex of the chronograph complication that speedmasters are known for.
Or a white dial speedmaster? As a contrast to the black moonwatch.
Or an automatic co-axial speedmaster? So not the same as your current manual wound.
It might not be the 'Automatic' choice but how about the original DSOTM... still a classic and thanks to the subtle speedy polishing it does not wear too large in my opinion (despite being 44.25)… Also George Daniels Co-ax so ticking a lot of boxes for me. Happy hunting / nice problem you have to solve :0)
Wow!!! That black is amazing.... Congrats for your stunning duo!
