I think Moonwatch is probably the only watch in its price range with such a strong history and durability. Its actually a bargain compared to other watches. Congrats..

Thanks for the comments everyone.

It's my first Omega. I was unsure what to get next as I already have a few Rolexes in my collection.

I love the look and feel of the watch and the back story. It also came in HUGE presentation box - the AD had never seen anything like it!
