Splashdown!
I couldnt help it....I just bought/recieved the apollo 8 as my first omega. I love the look, size, movement, colors, 50th anniversary, etc. Was hard to find. Being told that although not limited edition, it is definitely limited production with no one knowing if ads or obs will get anymore or not. Looks even better in person.

Really cool Omega. I haven't see it at our Omega AD, but they had the Grey Side of the Moon that I tried on last time I was in; way too big for my wrists. They are beautiful watches, though! Congrats!

That looks very cool, and this is coming from a guy who isn't the biggest fan of open worked dials.

Congratulations!
This really is a piece which needs to be seen in person. The details on the dial are truly impressive. |

Congratulations, it looks great. Too big for my small 6 inch wrists but I can still appreciate it. Nice watch.

Thanks for all the kind words. This is my coworker's and wife's new favorite along with the JC1.
Although not an official LE with production number on back, I've heard some ads and obs call it a special edition. I can say that it was a lot harder to find than the LEs though. Greys offered me LEs such as CK, Hodinkee, 57, ultraman, and other apollos at lower prices. The larger greys I do business with here on trf had never recieved an apollo 8 nor could they get one when reaching out to their ads. I've never seen one listed for sale on trf either. Since it's an anniversary piece and not "just another dsotm", maybe omega is done as some obs and ads have told me. Now that I have one, I hope that's true. Could become a real special piece. Either way, I bought because I love it and needed an omega in the collection. Hope everyone has a great weekend. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk |

Wow, this is an awesome watch. Love that dial and I usually don't like any "skeleton" or open worked dial but this one just works.
Congrats and wear it in good health |
