Kwt 11 Posted April 19, 2013 Hi all, I am thinking about purchasing this second hand for a good-ish price. But I am in 2 minds about the face, I mean is it too busy? Watch is 40mm. Any opinions appreciated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SSTEEL 0 Posted April 19, 2013 Although, as you say, quite a busy dial, it is quite a lot of information functionally, however, more to go wrong, but having said that, I like it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kwt 11 Posted April 19, 2013 I take it your picture is not of the actual watch you are considering purchasing? regards g.man It isn't mate no. This is a live picture shot just from a google search rather then a generic picture. Why do you ask? Although, as you say, quite a busy dial, it is quite a lot of information functionally, however, more to go wrong, but having said that, I like it. That's what I figured too but the watch will be covered by a 12 month warranty - I guess kinda piece of mind. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
court 12 Posted April 19, 2013 I like it a lot; busy but classic. If its the right price go for it. I'd say. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fellowsis 1 Posted April 19, 2013 It's alright, I just dont think it could ever be as classic and beautiful as the moon watch. But hey, if you like it, don't listen to us naysayers! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I really like the moonie too but I am not a fan of hand winding watches plus second hand they are still rather expensive (unless you go for one that is quite old) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fellowsis 1 Posted April 19, 2013 Have you looked at a speedmaster reduced? More similar in style to the moonie, and its an auto (though if my memory serves me correctly its 38mm) but they can be had for a bargain secondhand these days. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't I'm afraid mate, I did see one for sale about 2 months ago (I think I was looking on google shopping for a mate of mine) and foubd one for 980 quid. I think its probably just a case of shopping around. Thee are plenty of places that do second hand! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gbkirsch 0 Posted April 19, 2013 Have you considered a Speedmaster Professional, ie: Moon Watch? The down side it's a manual wind but on the bright side it will work in zero gravity and space!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hyster 0 Posted April 19, 2013 Not for me, I'd rather save for a moonwatch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slvg325 0 Posted April 19, 2013 I have the blue version. This is an excellent watch, but on the smaller side when compared to watches nowadays. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
solrac 0 Posted April 19, 2013 this watch is gorgeous. but what would deter me is the size. i dont need a 50mm but a 40mm chrono? i find that small. still, the day-date speedy is a badass watch. i'm frankly, torn. so my bottom-line is this -- if it were given to me, i'd treasure it. but i wouldn't actively go out and buy one.
