Mainly from friends in, or adjacent to, the fashion industry. This question comes up pretty often for me. Sure, it might be a tough sell on the $6,400 price tag and manual winding, but we'll get there. I then swipe to a photo of the manual winding movement and its mechanical splendor (though I'd be recommending Hesalite and its closed caseback for historical accuracy's sake). This opening allows me to pull a photo of the watch up on my phone, and explain how the modern production model features effectively the same design as the Moon-faring watch. "This watch went to the Moon," I'd say to whatever hypothetical friend this might be. You see, the beauty of stepping outside of our little bubble is that everything old becomes new again. The Omega Speedmaster allows me to get there dangerously quickly by using the angle that many of us consider somewhat tired and played out.
When I need to communicate with a "non-watch friend" about a potential watch recommendation, I need a foot in the door, an elevator pitch, something to grab them.
