Discount on Apollo 11 50th?

I don't usually ask this but with omega I always got a nice discount from the AD do you guys think a discount on a Apollo 11 50th is possible?

Eventually you may see it at a discount on the grey market, but for now no

Don't think so

Think it will stay premium on the market too after everything is allocated and most are sold, especially ones unworn.

Look at the Spectre...

No discounts specially on limited edition. I have asked when I picked mine from Omega boutique.

Didn't these pop on Jomashop momentarily for $7500? I don't know if any were available for sale, but I do remember seeing the link in someone's post.

You can’t get a discount on something that’s not available. My local AD only saw 2 through the doors. Can’t even buy direct.

With 7000 made, likely it will be available later at a discount in Grey market. Just be patient. Older limited editions are mostly available at discount even with much less being made. Just my 2 cents

It's a Speedmaster moonwatch with a slightly more refined bracelet,some gold accents, an an astronauts bum on the front. I personally wouldn't pay more than 4k for it.

You forgot the upgraded movement and the back of the watch is pretty cool. With that said is almost double msrp of the Moonwatch.
Ps the bracelet is so comfy.

Agreed back engraving with footprint looks great and the movement is now upgraded to METAS Master Chronometer.

Very cool watch and I was genuinely excited to get one, especially since I was born the same year as the Apollo 11 landing. My excitement took a turn downward when I saw the price. That is just way too much to be asking for that watch IMO. If they had kept it in the 8-9K range I would probably own one now.

Friends don't do that to each other. He at least deserves a few extra hundred quid for sorting you out. He could have easily sold that on at market value.

Lol, are you insisting I should take him and his wife out for a nice meal? That should do it.
