My first Moon watch
Yesterday I bought my first Speedy apollo 15 40th anniversary.
I had never thought that I was very happy with a watch equipped with plastic cristal and outdated non-hacking movement. However, I was really blown away when I took it on the wrist. Amazing watch with tons of history, heritage and charm. I replaced the bracelet with a leather strap and like it even more |

Yep! They all contribute to what makes the moon watch so special, at least to me. Congrats on an amazing watch!

Sweet! A moon watch, or "Man on the Moon!", as Archie Luxury would say, will be my next watch.

Thank you very much my friends. Yes, I agree, for me the colorful circles make the dail more fun.
I am also very happy with the accuracy of this watch. Two measures showed +3.5 +3.9 sec/a day which I think is impressive for non cosc certified movement. The only one thing which I am not used to yet is the winding process. The crown is small in my view and requires some patience and care but I am working on it :) |
