Looking for a speedmaster moonwatch? Info inside!

[Skorpion24]

Depends on what's important to you. The manual wind ones have a case that I think is too small. None of them have everything correct. You could buy one like this and make a vintage version from the late '50's http://www.torobravo2015.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=37_142&product_id=1344

Personally, I'd buy this one and try to mod it. http://www.silix-prime.so/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=116_231&products_id=2229 The only really bad thing is that it has the wrong caseback.

Thanks for the links, I was interested in this one as well from AE

Some of the guys over here bought and it's not bad for me, cons is that the seller ships to Italy only with a very expensive option, 60€!

The moonwatch doesn't have a date at 6 so that's not correct at all.

I made this comparison table when I was considering which moon watch to buy. I've since seen a few people ask "Who has the best moonie?", so I thought I'd share it. I'm not able to attach .docx or .pdf, so I've linked to my Dropbox. If I'm doing the wrong thing per copyright by sharing the images, please let me know and I'll take it down asap and repost without the images when I get the chance. I'm sure there are mistakes in it because I am a noob; please let me know if you see any and I'll fix it. I made this table trying to find the best rep for the 311.30.42.30.01.006, so comparisons are with that model. Thank you to everyone who has shared their research and knowledge throughout this thread and all the rep forums: this table is an attempt to summarise that information and by no means is any of it my original work. Enjoy!

Thanks Nivka, that is a lot of work you have done there. All the research I need for a speedy in one document. Thanks again.

 

[Skorpion24]

That's a nice work, thank you!

Thank you Markh for the link. Can you buy a correct case back to replace? I guess it is not that simple heh!

Can you post a link to it? I want to compare it to the other Ali Express link above.

Thanks

 

[MrSaltey]

Yeah. The subdials on that one are way off.

None of the rep Moonwatch subdials are correct right? I got the numbered edition from torobravo with the st-19 movement, it runs great. And the case is very nice. But the off subdials are driving me crazy!.

The quartz one and the automatic ones (21j) are closer in my opinion. My other complaint about the ones with the st-19 is that the case is smaller.

Post a pic if you want and we can check it out. A lot of the cases on the moonwatches aren't asymetrical. They don't have the crown guard portion so they're not big enough.

Would it be possible to install a gen dial? or would it not fit, has anyone you know tried that on the 39.7mm numbered edition rep?

FYI the Aaron speedmaster uses a Miyota OS20 and he very emphatically stated that they have white date wheels to me.

 

[as03uk]

I have another Miyota OS20 watch and was starting to wonder about the Aaron speedmaster. I've just ordered one - are all speedmasters 20mm strap size?

 

[pressureworld]

So the quartz moonwatch from Toro would be a decent buy? I have no idea which one to pick up but I know it has to be 42mm.

The 2013 special edition has a 19mm strap. The one from Aaron on Ali definitely is a 20mm strap

omega speedmaster : what is the function of the subdial at 6 on the handwinding model

omega speedmaster : what is the function of the subdial at 6 on the handwinding model

On the reps it's a 24-hour hand, although it's frozen on the 2013 special edition. On the gen it's a chrono hour hand

 

[Furby]

i just bougt one from puretime. On the movie (see the link) of the speedmaster, i think the hand of the subdial stands wrong...
