Any thoughts on this Speedy Moon?

Omega Speedmaster Apollo 15 40th Anniversary Watch
Limited Edition 1,971 pieces

Worth getting at $4.6k (LNIB)?

can consider if you're really keen. what's the crystal? hesalite or sapphire?

but i still prefer the classic all black look. can wear for both casual and formal.

V interesting watch!

quite tempted to hoot one!

Finally found a bad point about Black Bay... Quite hard to pair with a hand carrying bag. Just now tried a few clutch and document holder. Almost none looks good with pairing with my Black Bay... To be honest I'm quite sad LOL.

I did post this question to a Grey Dealer and he told me if u wanted to feel proud and high status, then go to those AD to buy........................

Other than that, there is no difference.....................

For me, watches are big ticket purchases. Rolex still okay, can authenticate and get within a day at RSC. What about other brands? Not all brands can be authenticated locally: I read PP needs 3mths! And some AAA grade imitations even comes with boxes and papers exactly like the real thing - how to tell? Honestly I'm not good enough at that. My BIL showed me a cartier santos100 he bought for fun from GZ and I couldn't tell the diff despite having one myself. I'm sure I can tell some diff if I put two watches side by side though.

Not saying grey are cheats, and I havent heard of any of such cases. Just hope there never will be - or is the buyer still in the dark? LOL

I bought my PP from an AD because the price wasn't that far off - less than 5%. I certainly didn't feel proud and high status buying from an AD, neither did I feel the other way. But if the savings isn't a lot, then I'd stick with ADs - just for that peace of mind.

But yes, if its authentic, then no diff for warranty and all.

Ah okay
Make sure u carry the bag ah. LOL

AD always have credit card tie ups for interest free instalments.
Grey have also but charge u 3-5% for using credit cards, instaments or not.

I also wanna know if grey will date your watch on the day you buy it? I dont think so right...? It's usually dated the day THEY bought it, or in some cases, post dated even.

Other than that its all the goodies that ADs will give lor hahaha. Like free macarons (I got a lot from THG hahaha), cartier ang pows, events (this one I always ambush at the buffet table and wine counter hahaha) etc......

Yes I am a yao gui LOL

 

[zzyzx]

this is very nice. where did you get it from?

currently only at MBS tudor shop. but selling for premium price.

paid that price to get this watch off my mind and get good night sleep.

I hooted my zenith from ashford, can nego a bit with the online agent(free delivery a must , price I got abt usd100 lower than stated), but they don't carry much of the mainstream brands.
Someone also mention the warranty is by ashford, though I'm not sure how Zenith can differentiate...
Calculate your risk lor, I'm willing to take as it is even cheaper than other grey dealers by 20%

 

[gaoxing84]

Grey warranty still honour in Singapore? For example panerai?
