On November 25th, 1969, perfect replica Omega held an exclusive dinner at the Warwick Hotel in Houston. Nineteen Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo Program astronauts who had already flown in space attended the formal dinner at Omega’s invitation. During the event, Omega presented the 18K gold Omega 1969 Apollo 11 commemorative Speedmaster to each astronaut in attendance. To my knowledge, except for a small story in the Houston Chronicle at the time, there has never been any information about this amazing event published. I was told that UK best fake Omega watches have no photographs of the event. The only way we even know of the event is through stories passed on by watch historians like Chuck Maddox.
RR Auction’s Fall Space Exploration auction is offering Dave Scott’s gold cheap super clone Omega Speedmaster Apollo 11, serial number 16. Omega presented it to Dave for his participation in the Gemini 8, Apollo 9, and, eventually, Apollo 15 spaceflights. What makes this watch unique is that Dave provided a personally signed Letter of Authenticity. Dave, as an actual honoree, added his recollection of his attendance at the presentation dinner to his letter. He is one of a handful of astronaut honorees left to provide an eyewitness account of this amazing dinner.

I asked Dave about the gold Speedmaster and his memories of the dinner in Houston on that November night in 1969. His first comment was “tongue in cheek” regarding the exquisite beauty and rarity of the watch: “It’s a pretty good watch, and it kept good time.” On a more serious note, Dave told me that high quality replica Omega presented the watch to him at an elegant black-tie dinner. The Omega representatives handed a personalized engraved watch to each astronaut one at a time.
Dave also told me that the gold Speedmaster was important to him as a symbol of achievement. It signified that he was part of a team that accomplished the feat of engineering of landing a person on the Moon. Unlike other gold Omega 1969 Apollo 11 commemorative Speedmasters that have sold in recent years, the luxury replica watches are completely original and comes directly from the Moonwalker himself. It also comes with a signed letter detailing the watch and the story behind the event. The provenance of this watch is truly impeccable.
