Can now officially participate in Speedy Tuesday

I posted that I'd acquired the Apollo 11 50th a few days back but hadn't officially taken ownership until now. It was delivered to Vegas and I scooped it up this week as part of a trip to visit my family.

This watch is on another level. My poor cell phone pictures don't do it justice - it has to be seen in person. Never thought I'd say that a bracelet is more comfortable than the one on my 16710, but I think this beats it.

I also love Buzz Aldrin at the 9 - I know it's divisive, but it adds flair for this LE. Extremely happy with this purchase!

Super nice. Buzz at 9 is really cool. It’s an iconic image. The clasp is very cool also.
Enjoy.

I'll try and take some better shots though over the next few days.

That’s a beauty and it’s nowhere to be found at the ADs even with its 6000+ pieces!

Goes to show that a great design product will always be a winner and even with high production volume, it will be scooped out quickly.

Congrats!
