Which Moonshine Speedmaster

Hi Lads-
I have a great opportunity (for me) to purchase from my local boutique either the Panda or Green dialed moonshine Speedmaster.

Neither would be on the full gold bracelet and are roughly the same price (Panda being about $1500 more).

I truly like them both and am having a difficult time choosing which one.
I know, first world problems lol

Any insight/opinions would be helpful as I need to make my choice by tomorrow.

Thanks in advance!
Sláinte!

I would go with the Panda personally or the green dial if on the full bracelet. I think the panda dial pairs better with the strap, but either way huge congrats and please post incoming pics!!

Only on the bracelet for me. Either work but I think the green is getting a little played out across all the brands.

I won’t be of any help because they are both stunning to me. Not sure you can go wrong either way. I do like the contrast of the dark green dial w the moonshine case - that would be my pick if forced to choose. Good luck.

moonshine with green dal and croc strap is absolutely fantastic. Had it on my wrist and had the chance to buy it a couple of months ago. Timing was slightly off and wasn't in the position to buy at the time. However, wouldn't hesitate to purchase if I had the cash sat there available. Stunning piece and looks great on the wrist. Photo's don't do the watch justice IMO.

Most likely the Panda on a bracelet. More universal I think. But you really can't go wrong with either of them. Depends if you REALLY like green enough to wear for years to come.

Panda on the bracelet all the way! Green is played out, and the panda looks stunning in person (tried it on the other day at my AD).

Gotta go with what speaks to you most. Forget what you think you should buy, which is the one for YOU?

I agree. The dial being actual gold makes it extra special, I feel

I've just been on the Omega website looking at your options. To tell the truth, that green dial/bezel combo on Moonshine gold looks VERY nice. I'd have to look at it in real world lighting and on my wrist before dropping coins on it, but it sure looks enticing!

Definitely the green dial is more attractive in my eyes. Maybe it's an Irish thing!

So I finally decided.
Been busy, but it landed days ago so just now posting some photos.





This is a HUGE purchase for someone like me, as well as my first full PM watch.
I love green and I felt like of the two, this one was more special.

Thank you all for the advice.

I'll be starting a newer thread soon as I'm now addicted to gold lol and need some advice on what pieces to move to find funds for more!!

Sláinte.

My choices are above. I really like the apollo 11. What do you think of it? Not much discussion on it.

CONGRATS, I recently got the green dial on leather, but they gave me that rubber too. Looks fantastic!
