After fifteen years of actively wearing and enjoying watches I recently pulled the trigger on this beauty.

For me this is the absolute grail and despite the fact, that there are many other (luxury) watches I had and have an eye on, I always knew this will be mir first purchase over 5K and I could not be happier.

I’ve got to force myself not to wear it on a daily basis, but every morning it’s hard for me to choose another watch. Such a versatile watch which looks even better when it’s a bit darker.

I went for the hesalite Glas, since the bracelet on the sapphire Glas edition is a bit polished on some pieces and for me this made the stunning bracelet looks a bit cheaper, but obviously that’s just a matter of personal taste. I know this is a common watch on this sub, but words can barely describe how happy I am.

It is what it is, a timeless classic you will never regret owning. It’s right near the top of my wishlist. Really happy for you, brother.

When I first got interested in watches,I saw a picture of a speedmaster and knew that was it. Getting mine (and my Seamaster) finished my collection bug. Worth every penny.

Congrats!

Before that one, I want to get a Longines Flagship Heritage

I feel like they look and feel cheap af. Not worth the price, esp after the hikes. 7.5k for that lol

It is a beautiful watch, congratulations. I would have picked the hesalite crystal as well.

It’s the one watch everyone should own at some point. They’re just the best.

Wear it in good health, cherish the memories you make with it on your wrist then pass those memories down to someone some day.

Not wearing my pro currently but my Mark II says hi :)

I hope you get a chance to see Michael Collins's Speedmaster on display sometime. Even though the Moonwatch marketing can be a bit much, it is truly awesome to see it there next to all the spacecraft, spacesuits, etc.

Wow that’s amazing! I’m not from the US but will be visiting next year. That’s definitely on my list now, thank you so much!

I just bought mine 2 weeks ago and it has made me happy everyday since it hasn't come off my wrist yet.

[–] Adilette1000@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago
