My ongoing search for a nice 'Moonwatch'...

It shows all 3 of the versions I bought side by side. My quartz one was actually from Watcheden.

That's a shame, I had heard there was a blip in the dial printing at one stage (about a year ago) on the quartz but thought it was just that...a blip, and assumed they would go back to the 'normal' numbering eventually when they ironed out the mishap.

It's funny the 'improvements' they put on reps sometimes: sigh!


Edit: yeah, i think it was in your thread I first saw the new numbering arrangement...my god the factories go to great lengths to mess up a good thing

 

[markh]

Yeah. The recess of the subdial is worse too. Can hardly tell they're recessed at all...

I too have been searching long for a moonwatch as my first rep. If only i could find one like the one Toro has as his Omega cover photo. I would like mine to be auto with sunken subdials though - patience?

Anyways, a new :canuck: member on this forum and learning a lot! Hopefully I'll be able to find a rep for me soon!

My advice? Start saving mate - if you like the Moony that much you'll be wanting the gen in no time. Then you've got to decide between the cheaper Reduced or the bonafide Professional...

Q5 is red now,,you GO boy!!!!!!!!!

 

[drbollocko]

Congrats on the red Q5, I only noticed when Rob pointed it out.

This might be the best advice anyone has given here. I tried like crazy to live with a Speedy rep, but it's hard to do. LHOOQ finally pushed me over the edge last year and I bought a gen. If you only buy one gen in your lifetime, a great many watch guys would encourage you to get the Speedmaster Professional.

Hmm,

meanwhile i have found at least some pictures looking not so bad...

http://www.repomega.com/catalog/product/gallery/image/19597/id/1372

which is definitely a replica of the 'Snoopy'. And on the site of a ?wholesaler?

http://www.watchest.com/Proshow.asp?id=974,

which would be probably a nice replica of the classical 'Moonwatch', but in this case, i cant tell if it s really a fake or not.


With best regards

PS.: Please dont wring my neck, again .

You aren't buying pictures though. Those 2 sites are not trusted dealers here so buy at your own risk.

You should maybe listen to the members here who've been looking for a good rep of the moon watch for many years. Just because you found a nice picture on some website doesn't mean you've discovered something we've been unable to find all these years.

 

[Hazel]

I just thought having at least a pic of a nice rep would make it easier to ask one of the trusted dealers whether he or she would perhaps be able to obtain it for me or others. And why not sharing pics of replicas that one has found? Is it automatically senseless only because the trusted dealers dont show them in their current collection? Perhaps they are new and a TD can procure it?!

 

[markh]

ok. don't you think of all the threads on here discussing the moonwatch that we've exhausted all the options available to our dealers? 99% of all replicas are made in a small area of China. From which our dealers get their watches. Do you think our dealers are deliberately not showing us the best Moonwatch reps available?

Go ahead and use those pictures you've found and send them to our TD's. Let us know what you come up with.

"99% of all replicas are made in a small area of China. From which our dealers get their watches"

Man, someone could have told me about that earlier. Now i am beginning to understand your comments.

 

[markh]

Ahhhhh... Ok. Yes, the majority of all reps come from the same place regardless of who is selling them.
