yekilaros 0 Posted December 6, 2021 (edited) Hi All, Longtime lurker, first time poster. I've been looking start a watch collection I've always been attracted to the Omega Speedmaster 'Moonwatch' and after following this sub for sometime I'm resolved that this will be my first 'real' watch purchase. showbox But I was wondering if someone out there might be able to explain what the differences are between the different refs and calibers of Moonwatches out there. I'm still new to the watch game so I'm not sure what might be considered 'a run of the mill' Moonwatch vs something that has more prized characteristics speed test Edited December 9, 2021 by yekilaros Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Of course budget is one when getting into the more prized characteristics, broad hands dial colour, lugs and bracelet. The big one for me is I wanted a hesalite Crystal, I find the way they scratch up warmer than a sapphire and also I’m not a fan of the white ring the sapphire model creates. Best to get the models you like and see the costs and in the event it’s out of budget look at what features you’re willing to trade off 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Intresting 22,167 Posted December 6, 2021 The OP really got to be more self-reliant when it comes to searching for information. All this spoon feeding. But only because I am a real fan of the Moonwatch and I am feeling generous in the season, here is a link to start with.https://www.fratellowatches.com/the-omega-speedmaster-watch-buyers-guide/#gref Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
