I held back on this purchase forever. I had no way to sample or even see one in person, and there are such strong opinions running both ways on this watch. In the end, three factors swayed me:
Had money in the watch fund after unloading a few pieces. One was a Bulova Precisionist which I loved for the movement but not for the fit or the looks.
I’m a sucker for Apollo stuff, and have no affinity for a Speedmaster (maybe just a little for one of those new snoopy moonphase moons watches…).
Watched a series on Netflix starring Hilary Swank as an astronaut leading the first crewed mission to Mars. Put me in a space mindframe.
So now it’s here. It fits brilliantly and looks beautiful. I can see how the size and thickness would be problematic for some, but it’s not an issue for me (7.5”). I would prefer a version with a brushed finish rather than a polished one, but that’s a small preference, and otherwise it’s exactly how I wanted it (with no date and a strap, and a tolerable price).
Now maybe I’ll get off the dime and go grab that Orient Bambino V2 I’ve been torturing myself over.

My only regret: should have bought the meteorite dial! Its even more gorgeous!
I have the date version and absolutely love it. I've got a 8 inch wrist and the fit is great. Congrats
Congrats! Is it the 43 or the 45?

45. Couldn’t find the 43 at a price that made sense.
Great watch! I just got the lunar pilot in blue white and it’s easily one of my favorite watches for sure
Most accurate watch in my collection.

Where did you find that s6tep??
Where did you find that s6tep??
Diaboliq Straps. Found him on Facebook. Communication was great. He’s out of Germany so it takes a little bit of time to get after ordering since they’re custom handmade. I cannot recommend his quality enough. A++
