Apollo 11 50th Anniversary available at AD

Anyone looking for an Apollo 11 50th Anniversary in Steel?

Not sure if these are hard to come by or not, for some reason I am under the impression that they are.

Local AD has one available, tax free. Shoot me a message if interested and I can send details.

wonderful gesture!

I think it was a rolling release - likely to give the impression of "sold out"... shortly after release, when everyone was posting theirs, I went to a few boutiques, and Ads and was told "sold out"... same with the Bond OHMSS... something I found strange given the 7000 production for each...

last week, back at the AD a Bond "OHMS" " Just Arrived" ( number 17XX/7,007), and they expect more Apollo 11 to come in the next few months...

I think rumours of the quick sell out were likely over-exaggerated -
there may be AD orders for all 6969, but I doubt that all are on the wrists of the end-consumer...
It will probably be a while before all 6969 are produced and rolled out ...

I agree, I think the sellout rumors were a bit exaggerated. Not to mention 6969 is quite a large quantity to be considered "limited edition". Either way, the watch actually sold the same day I made the post. At least it ended up on someones wrist!

My AD just reached out to me today as they have one available too. Very pleasant surprise! Anyone seen one? I’ve never actually seen one in person but looking forward to checking it out tomorrow.
