50th Anniv Speedmaster Moon Watch 1957

Recommended Posts

debian

I was looking for a nice watch, but couldn't find any that looked good in my prize range. so I started looking for a replica of the Moonwatch, that I always liked.

After looking through some sites that was obviously scam-sites I found this forum and found what I wanted at the recommended dealer asian7550

 

It took a week from that I payed for the watch until it arrived in a well packed package.

 

MOVEMENT: Lemania Hand Wind Working Chronograph

CASE DIAMETER: 40mm

THICKNESS: 11mm

DIAL COLOR: Black Anniversary dial with White Stick Marker

CASE MATERIAL: Solid Stainless Steel 316L

BRACELET: Solid Stainless Steel with Diver's extension

FRONT GLASS: Sapphire

BACK GLASS: Display Case back (Sapphire)

CLASP TYPE: Tang Buckle with insignia

 

Water Resistant

 

I is beyond my expectations. it works like a charm and it looks great.

The quality is far better than I would imagine of a replica watch.

 

The movement isn't very decorated and I would prefer a non-windowed back.

One irritating thing is about the chronograph hour indicator, it shows the same hours as the "big" hour indicator. I would prefer that if the hours of the chronograph does not work that it would point still at zero and not move...

 

I am very satisfied with the watch and will probably buy some more replicas in the future.

A beautiful watch. The issue with the hour subdial is minor given how good the rest of the watch is imho...

Nice!

Yup, it's a Sea-Gull ST19 MVT thus the hour indicator.

It can be fixed, there is a thread on how here: http://www.replica-watches-guide.com/forum...view=getnewpost

Thanks, but I better leave it as it is, I don't have the watchmaking skills or proper tools to hack around in the watch :band:

maybe in the future.

The funky dial at 6:00 would end up bothering me too much and I would have to get it fixed. I had a 7750 watch that did that. Some gear slipped and the hour subdial at 6:00 began following the hour hand around the dial. Bothered me so much that I sold the watch. It would probably cost you about $40 to get that fixed if you didn't want to do it yourself.

 

The Moon watch is a beaut!

I scouted the Internet for pictures of gen and tried to take similar pictures.

There are a few things that differs...

 

rep is to the left.

* The glass is the wrong shape. it is a high dome shape on original. and almost flat on the rep. resulting i a higher steel edge.

* The sub dials is to far apart, resulting in a shorter hour mark on 3, 6 and 9, making it look almost like a reduced.

* The golden logo is not as good printed as original

* The scale on tachometer is a bit different after 100.

* The lume does not lume so much on mine...

 

Also

* The back should be solid with inscription about first and only watch on the moon.

* The bracelet should say "professional" under "speedmaster"

 

still an excellent watch :D
