That damn Moon Watch….

Was at my local AD the a few weeks ago, he went on to tell me about all watches he has been selling lately I asked him which one was the hottest one he said and I quote “that damn Moon Watch!” He said that several times a day someone is calling and asking about it. I asked him what was all the buzz about … he brought one from the back that was already sold and showed me. I fell in love instantly I had never really considered it. I told him to call me as soon as he got one and today he called me!

Before I got mine I heard the same. How it is the perfect addition to any collection; about how it is versatile and easy to wear. So I went to try one one on and took it home the same day. Congrats on yours and I hope that you enjoy it for years to come.

Has an understated charm and gets better the more you wear it. Palce the chronohand at 22 sec, when not timing something, so that you can see the logo. Gives it an even better look imo

Thanks for the good vibes and ideas especially about putting the seconds hand at 22 so I can see the logo what a great idea!

Congrats and enjoy!

Yes from what I hear they've been selling really well, but it is nice that Omega seems to restock at a reasonable rate.

There are many things I love about omega

Robust build quality
Classic designs
Very stylish and comfortable

But what I love the most you can walk in and buy one!

I checked one out for the first time last Saturday and bought it on the spot. Now I understand the appeal.

There is no bracelet or strap that looks bad on the Speedy.
Well, maybe something garish or outlandish.

Congrats! It looks way better in person. Way better.

I was at my AD the other day and a guy next to me was buying his first ever high end mechanical watch. It was the new Speedy Pro (sapphire sandwich). I came very close to buying one right after him, but the lack of adjustability scared me off. Speedmaster is likely next on my list, but not sure which one yet.
