its probably a good "first" watch if you are starting a collection. At this point its a bit of a meme watch. But i'll tell you. When i started i had a Quartz Casio duro...and smartwatches.
then the moonswatch came out, before that i wasnt really aware of the speedmaster and its history and heritage...so i read up on all of it. I've always been obsessed with the moon landings since i did a report in highschool. Well of course the moonwatches were sold out and i didn't wanna pay scalper prices. It started eating at me, and i started obsessing. Long story short, i went to an Omega AD, and bought a hesalite 3861. Since then i've aquired other "space" watches. Lunar Pilot, Murph, Gshocks. I have my eye on the X33 skywalker. so yea...for me the swatch set off my watch collection, even though i still dont own one.
