Omega moon swatchs

No issues outside mission to mercury maybe. Hype is dead.

Are you looking for a way underpriced Omega, or a way overpriced Swatch?

Post mania that's what everyone felt lol.

Anyone tried the fake Moonswatches on DHGate?

Given the real ones are basically plastic Happy Meal watches I'm sure the China knock offs aren't far behind them quality wise. And they're only about twenty quid.

I haven't linked anything and there's been discussion of replica watches on here before…?

It would be more than a little ironic if Moonswatch collectors were annoyed because didn't want their collection 'sullied' by these cheap Chinese 'homages'…😁

(okay I'll shut up now!)

I just had my one land today.

Hard to believe it was so cheap.

Thought I'd stick a Nato on it for a bit of fun. Surprised to see proper spring bars.

The dial is nice enough that honestly it would look pretty well in a steel case!

I've seen a few examples of that mod on Reddit and tbh? They do catch the eye.

I don't know why, particularly as I own a few mechanical chronos but I've never wanted to own a speedy. Yes they are lovely watches, the archetype but I always find my eye drawn to other watches when it comes to putting my money down.

Now that said? A mechaquartz in a steel case would certainly be a lovely ersatz speedy but, surely such a watch branded Pagani is as good an option?

Rather than just shrugging our shoulders and dismissing the Swatch cash grab as being the equivalent? Does Swatch being moneygrabbing twats mean that fakes (of the moonswatch) are now ok? If they are? Do I get a steelcased fake mission to mars or mission to the moonphase? 😂😂

*The above is a rhetorical, they aren't 😉

Also, can we call a spade a spade? None of these DHgate moon watches are "Homages" they're fakes. Let's not dance around that.

I think the big stand out here for me is seeing how offensively over priced the real Swatch version is.

Oh I agree with you on the pricing, it's insane but? It fits perfectly with the madness of watches as a hobby 😂

Price points of what are apart from very small portion of the market, mass produced trinkets who's price is determined by marketing and appeal rather than actual input costs are mad.

My buddy very generously gifted me his unboxed Mission to Mercury (he has another, forget which, probably Moon) last night in the pub for my birthday.

Woke up today after a rake of pints wondering where it was, thankfully I handed it off to my sister who was driving!

Anyway, does anyone have a good strap recommendation? Am I mad to look at official Omega rubber straps that may be hugely expensive compared to the price of the watch?

Aim to wear this as my daily and give my 2013 Seamaster AT a break, keep for weekends, etc.

My birthday is tomorrow and my party was two night ago (when I got the watch from my pal). Turns out the missus got her sister to pop into Grafton St in November to pick me up one of them - and got the Mercury.

So now I have two of them 😅 Couldn't make it up. Not sure if I want to go through hassle of re-sale, or just see can we send it back to Swatch in Dublin.

I got a 20mm Omega NATO to tide me over til I get an orange rubber one (these take 18mm)
