How is the bracelet? I wish we could order one for our vanilla moonwatches.

Thanks guys. I was on the fence when I put down the deposit. I really do dig it. I was also given an Omega grey nato strap that I may rock next week.

The bracelet is nice, but I find it to be a bit dainty compared to Rolex or AP. The boutique gave me a grey nato strap and I think I may switch over in a few days.

Congratulations.

Are these watches reasonably easily available, or are they Silver Snoopy rare?

1970 Silver Snoopys (run about $20K-$25K USD +/- now);
6969 50th Anniversary Apollo XI. Supposedly the run is fully subscribed, but who knows. I would think they'll hold their retail value ($9650) on the aftermarket at the very least, but wouldn't think they'll have a run like the Silver Snoopy.

Got mine a couple of weeks ago (had left a deposit on the 1st day they were taking them) & still deciding if I'm actually gonna wear it out.

I agree. They are selling over right now, but I’m guessing the market will settle down. I think they’ll actually drop below retail eventually. I was on the fence also, but it has grown on me. I think when I put it on nato, it will seal the deal. Only a few other speedies I would consider over this.
