Don’t really like it and I have no ideal what market group this was meant for.

Just have to start right; with the speed master Professional.

Hey Eugene!

I saw it in person and really liked it. I have smaller wrists so I like the size, and the bracelet seemed different from the one on the speedy pro. I liked it because it’s a different Speedmaster.

I was lusting after it for weeks, and now that I look back on it, one thing that I remember is that it is flashier/shinier than the moonwatch.

But I mean it’s definitely a nice watch.

Too bad there aren’t many good video reviews on it online.

The few that I found were of poor quality and didn’t show the watch up close too much.

Not a fan of chronograph watches. However, if I was, this Omega is nice.

I like it and as my manual Speedmaster is such a pain to wind I can see the attraction of an automatic.

I tried on the ice blue dial one back in January. To be honest, I didn't know this watch existed, and I was quite impressed with it. Ultimately, I didn't get it at that time, but I've been thinking about it a lot since...I think as the year goes on, there's a fair chance that I'll pick it up. The bracelet was really nice, and it has 100m WR, which is impressive for a speedy. Nice vintage vibe...but the box is overly feminine, smaller with a big red bow.

I'll see if I can find a pic of it for you to see a non stock photo.

I think the bracelet is more like the presidential bracelet by Rolex yeah ?

Where the bracelet on the moonwatch is more like an oyster

The bracelets are different for sure, as well as the clasps.

The 38 doesn't have a typical elongated clasp but has a twin trigger locking system. Neat little seahorse on it too.

Speedy Pro has a more elongated clasp, similar to an oyster bracelet.

The 38 bracelet has PCLs and is a bit more blingy, but not quite to the extent I'd say of Rolex PCLs. Speedy Pro just has two lines of polish.

Does that answer your question?

Overall look is good.

Two things that don’t work for me
1)date complication on a Chrono
2)co-axial movement thickness.
