Fresh on the wrist today after collecting this afternoon.

Really happy with it, given I'd not seen one in the flesh. Its a watch that really has so many dimensions to it depending on the light and angle you're viewing from.

I knew it was for me after seeing the pictures and even more so in person.

The bracelet makes it supremely comfortable.

All in all, a very happy customer!

Slightly regretting turning one down as they're going for £11k+ in the US...

Stunning watch and the only one recently I've really wanted. I love the box it comes in aswell

I think Omega made too many though, quite a few coming to the used market now, and people trying to make a quick buck.

Tempted to jump in but don't want to overpay.

Thanks. I agree with the numbers. The Moonshine Gold version is limited to just over 1000, so I guess that's the exclusivity model.

Not some how many numbers they made other anniversary watches in?

Feels more at home to dressing up dutys compared with the regular Moonwatch, which is nice because I needed to plug that gap.

I've seen many command a $5k price tag above the list price which is madness.

I'm not sure how it compares numbers wise either to the other anniversary models. I just love the 50th biggrin

Great pics OP. I’ve got a deposit on one of these but still no sign of it as yet. Hopefully will see it in the next month or two.

Definitely more filtering though now, and its not exactly super exclusive at 6969 pieces. Mines a keeper to hand down to my new born son, but I can't see the £4k premium some people are charging lasting much longer.

I had a 1 month wait after leaving my deposit, so I'm sure you're lined up for the next batch

Agreed, looks amazing in real life. The gold flashes really set it off in my opinion, without being too bling.

Lets see some pics!

That so often seems to be the case. Most manufacturers websites don't do their watches justice at all. Luckily there's always google images and youtube.

A beautiful watch and with the pale "moonshine" gold on charcoal colour dial, it looks very unusual.

I liked it enough in the pics to blindly take the plunge. I knew it wouldn't be a significant risk, but there were enough details to convince me.

Then when I began seeing some pics and videos filtering through, I knew it was going to one of those watches that needs to seen in the flesh.

Even between my pics it looks very different. I'd probably say, the 2nd or 3rd pic is its truest reflection. I absolutely adore the gold and black bezel, it's sublime.

It’s gorgeous.

Personally, I prefer (and am after) the 60th Anniversary 57 to go with my Seamaster 60th.

I’m also after a Black Bay 58.........and a Longines Skin Diver!

Use a 58 as my daily. Love it and wouldn't change a thing about it. Wonderful watch. Debating a brown leather strap purchase for it. Official Tudor one is about £400 though I think.
