Apollo 11 50th - as good as I imagined

Drove the 1.5 hrs to visit DavidSW in Orlando so I could try this guy on.

Payment going through tomorrow and the watch will be mine! Not going to call it an incoming just yet and will post better pictures when it's actually in hand but for now, you get the in-the-store photos.

Paying close enough to MSRP that I'm ecstatic about the deal. Sorry for the poor cell shots, but I'm excited to be adding this one to the colleciton.

Haha yeah it does look big in pictures but in person, it's perfect.

Used to wear a 44mm PAM so this is nothing!

Bracelet is top level, at least on initial appearances. Everything I've heard about it has been great in terms of comfortably. Can't wait to get it sized up.

Watch is getting shipped to Vegas before I take possession, but from my initial interactions with it, I was blown away.

Very smooth and sexy and I also like how the outer part is what's polished. A tad different than what we're used to around these Rolex parts.

Do you know if it's the same bracelet which will be used on the new 321 in steel?

321 in steel is 19mm. The A11 50 is 20mm.
