Thread: My New Romain Jerome Moon Dust DNA

After that I picked up the Super Avenger Chrono. It was the first one delivered to any AD in the USVI! It was originally a black dial but I always loved the white dial, so when I sent it back to Breitling for servicing they switched out the dial for me.

I might buy a Titanic DNA in the future. My Moon Dust has quickly become one of my favorite watches!

However, there's nothing illegal about owning lunar meteorites. You can buy them for something like $2000/gm. Grind them up and you get dust. I'll bet that's what RJ did.

I am going to reach out to my AD and get more info.

But the "moon dust" was not gathered from the Apollo XI mission. The case incorporates fibers & steel from the Apollo XI spacecraft. I will try to get some more info regarding the "dust" on the dial.

any pics of the alligator, carbon fiber, space suit strap watch strap that came with it?

I have to say, im not usually a fan of them due to the carbon fiber around the dial. I have to say that with the strap on there(not the rubber) it really makes the watch pop!

Can you send me a pm, im curious what you paid, ive been looking for one of these for a while.

I have a fascination with space related watches, especially the Martin Braun moon meteroite dial watch.
thanks!
