Affordable Moon Watch
Cod swatch owns Omega so there’s that. Plus a collectible is what the beholder thinks not me or you. I have multiple swatch watches some from the 80’s and 90’s get good money.

Re: Affordable Moon Watch
I still don't get it.
I'd rather own a Porsche 911 over a 912 any day---------- but to each their own.

Re: Affordable Moon Watch
Let me add, far be it from me to criticize where a member's dick points him, particularly after buying the Zodiac GMT. But, like Mr. Cod, I don't get it, either.
I understand that Omega is part of Swatch, but right now they're selling the Speedy Moon watch for $6400. I don't see how putting the names on a $300 quartz homage is going to help the brand. It would be like Rolex partnering with Fossil for a $300 quartz homage of the Daytona.

Re: Affordable Moon Watch
912, shit that is a four banger POS with 100HP or so. knew a girl who had daddy buy one for her while a senior in HS. The only thing fast about that car of hers was her in the bedroom or across the fender.

Re: Affordable Moon Watch
Yep, my point.
But it looked like a real Porsche sports car---------- with the same badging, appearance and whatever.

And four the record, I have owned three Italian cars when I live in that country, a (Fix It Again Tony) Fiat 500, a Lancia and an Alfa Romeo. Was Not Impressed.
Dint expect them to half the presteeg of the Maranello or Modena cars---------and also dint expect them two be badged with a prancing horse nor trident

Re: Affordable Moon Watch
I kinda don't like the fact that Omega has had to give it's name to the parent company. Sorta cheapens the Omega name and heritage.

Re: Affordable Moon Watch
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. . .

Re: Affordable Moon Watch
Id go with the Mission to Saturn, Moon or Mercury but I would rather drive to any of those planets than drive to Miami. Better be available on the net or a no go.
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.

Re: Affordable Moon Watch
Picture this--a fellow is heading towards the checkout stand at the supermarket. His name is, I dunno--Galvin! 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

A plastic Speedmaster in Easter Bunny colors. And they will be scalped for over retail. Hell of it is, I'd like one.

I think acrylic. This has the added bonus of nobody being able to see the dial after a year!!

For those interested in the watch and me being a movement snob. My research is limited but it is eta and 4 jewel which my guess is a reworked version of the eta G10.212AD
