I still don't get it.
Yep, my point.
You bought a VW. Should have gotten something Italian.codguy wrote: ↑March 24th 2022, 11:40amYep, my point.
But it looked like a real Porsche sports car---------- with the same badging, appearance and whatever.
Welp, Volkswagens were developed by Doctor Ferdinand Porsche so there is that, but you probably new that.ocean wrote: ↑March 24th 2022, 11:50amYou bought a VW. Should have gotten something Italian.codguy wrote: ↑March 24th 2022, 11:40amYep, my point.

I agree to some extent, but also think it might encourage more youngsters who think the watch is cool to want one and eventually want a real one and further perpetuate our silly hobby. I said it earlier. . . . SWATCH Group, including Omega, have their act together and are going to mop up. . .

Love the ring around Saturn so maybe that model if you dont want to be accused of wearing a fake. Dont have a brown watch.

Yes, that's it, he's Galvin. He's an architect, wears very thin eyeglasses with the frames made in Germany, drives a Polestar, has a wife who regularly does aerobics and blows him often. Galvin is also wearing an Omega Speedy moon watch on his wrist. Galvin is proud of his watch, since he bought it (full price! None of that gray market Jomashop shit for Galvin!) with the fee he was paid for his first big design for Section 8 housing for the poor and indigent. Galvin believes that even the least of us (read, broke white trash) deserve a home in a handsomely designed building.
And, as Galvin is checking out at the market, with plenty of kale and tofu, the guy bagging his groceries, named Jimmy, who has mild learning disabilities and lives, with his parents, at the very same Section 8 building that netted Galvin his Speedy, shows Galvin his gnu wartche.
"Look, Mr. Galvin! I got a Speedy too! And, it's better than yours, because I don't have to wind it, and it's accurate to 15 seconds a month!" Then Jimmy laughs so hard that his unibrow wrinkles and he partially wets himself.
So, when Galvin gets home, he throws his Man on the Moon watch in his sock drawer, calls his jeweler, and gets on the wait list for a Daytona.
THE END

I think acrylic. This has the added bonus of nobody being able to see the dial after a year!!
Cool. More of a moonwatch than every other Speedie except the actual moonwatch.

Bravo Mr. Conjurer, most excellent summation.
