First post in this sub-forum....

Walked out the AD with this strapped on. First speedy and so excited to finally add this to the collection. It's been said before and I could not agree more - every collection needs a Moonwatch. When I knew it was time to add this, went back and forth on the hesalite vs saphire debate. In the end, the charm of that domed plastic was irresistible.

Got same watch last week

Love that moon hexalite watch. Mine is on a Bond black/gray striped nato band and looks awesome. Dont know how to upload pics.

Little trivia have never seen mentioned on this watch here. If you look just at the right angle you can see a tiny Omega symbol etched on the hexalite at dead center.

I thought it was a scratch but nope its a perfect etching. Am I the only one who didnt know this or just the only one who has it?

This is a known thing. One of the differences between sapphire and the hesalite.
