A bit of elegance in a manly world
Is that using the case and bracelet from a Jason Speedmaster?
I have the £17 moonswatch but still haven't bought a steel case yet. I am still trying to find a friendly 3d printer owner 😁

So, I got my delivery from swatch1

The classic moon is as good as w77
I also got the blue moonphase which will be the next surprise project 🤗
The quality of the case is nice.

I ordered the box option as I was curious. It’s okish but it makes the watch look much fancier

Only minor gripe is that delivery took over a month…

But I now can recommend them as it has been three successful orders over 6 months from them

I have one on order from the cheap seller. Will post dial photos when it comes.
Glad to know Swatch is decent!

Ok, i take back what I said about swatch1
The dial is less good than w77 makes 🤨



It’s ok, but has a more « modern » vibe to it.

So I have ordered a bunch of these to play with (and one each for my son and wife):


From what I understand these are PE50 Movements and I need case and holder to match, but most of the links in the early part of this thread are dead.
The holder linked really early on I can print with my resin printer (I sold my FDM printer a few weeks ago sadly) and I have the modeling skills needed in case I have to change it, but I'm having a little trouble finding a suitable case.
If anyone could steer me in the right direction I'd appreciate it!

How hard is it to swap the hands on these?

Something like this would be pretty cool.

@Karbon74
Hi mate!
Is there any chance to show the bezel case of the latest MS you received?
Are the numbers crisp white or greyish like Watch77's?

Thanks!

Good then. I don’t use those cases, so if you or anyone want some, I will sent it. Just pay the postage
Interesting. I am considering to buy a new MS with different colors but if I decide to just switch case I'll drop you a message. (y)

Thanks!

I had received a number of orders from watch77 that were all great.
I ordered a Mission to the Sun from swatch1. The Movement Holder was different inside and the Fake Battery was glued to the Real Battery.

The Reflective Gold dial looked too reflective compared to Videos and Pictures online.

I wouldn't buy from them again.

BTW... I see that you can now buy a real Mission to Earth, Sun, Moon, or Mars online directly from Swatch for the list price of $270.
