I know you have only had the Moon Watch for a few days, has the movement kept accurate time and do the chrono's all function? Do you think the manual movement is a good movement?

It is a nice looking watch my friend but it is a fantasy watch. As hambone said, it is the 40th anniversary, the real anniversary watch has the eagle on the 9 position at the second counter. http://www.omegawatches.com/index.php?id=1318
Different anniversary, and not a fantasy watch. This watch was one of several types of limited-edition Speedmasters made to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the original Speedmaster (CK2915). See this page at the company website. Omega's ref# is 311.30.42.30.01.001.

Not a bad rep as far as Speedies go! Aside from the subdials, though, the biggest tell is the flat glass. Whether sapphire or hesalite, you need that bulgy crystal to sell the look.

I am so glad that this is a real watch and not a fantasy. I must admit I found it kinda strange how the rep factories could get this so wrong.

As for Meyer's pictures....Simply stunning (as usual)
Thanks for sharing.

welcome,

heres honts reviews.

viewforum.php?f=179

if you want to look at any other dealers and their reviews it is towards the bottom of the home page.

look to spend anywhere between $29.99 to $600 here. :D
finding the best price for a watch is not too hard once you start looking. its all fairly standard and you will get the hang of it. i personally try not to spend more than 300 on a rep though. my natural expectations for a rep go up the more i spend but that is unrealistic in this game. your expectations on a rep should only go so far. even if you were to spend 600 on a rep you shouldnt expect a gen to arrive on your door step. be realistic, they are reps.

enjoy your stay here.

Salut Sylvain, excellent choix, cette montre est une légende ! Elle me titille aussi ! lol !
Je viens de commander (enfin !) la GMT Master II chez Hont et la prochaine sera sans aucun doute une Submariner de chez WM9 !

Hi Sylvain excellent choice, this watch is a legend ! I'm thinking of it too ! I have ordered the GMT Master II with Hont today and the next one will be the WM9 Submariner for sure !

The rep is pretty good. Three things jump out at me.

1. Sub dial spacing. Gen is closer notice the 3, 6 & 9 marker.
2. Caseback of the 50th Anniv was not an exhibition case.
3. The crystal as previously stated is not flat.

There were actually 2 models of the 50th Anniv. One like this rep that had 5957 pieces and a CoAxial 44mm model that was 1957 pieces. This one had the number on the face (1234 / 1957) which was enamel.

Rep should look more like this one.

I recently saw a second hand gen of the "brother" of this (normal version, not moon one) and its was very reasonable

IF the gen is available at a good price and the reps are not that crash hot, I reckon its better to buy the gen in this case
