Omega Moonswatch reps - review of the cheap as chips new versions

[Thatwatchguy]

I have a few coming in from a seller on AliExpress they are costing me £6 for 2! I'm not holding out much hope but I will update the thread when they arrive.

Oh damn, £6 for two…the postage alone would cost more than that

But genuinely interested to see what you get as we all might have been seriously overpaying

Is this the model from the OP? The case looks very well defined, edges look crisp and it looks like a nicer Matt finish than on some of the examples I have seen. Love that strap too!

Yeah - Just checked again to be sure and they were all from three. Three of them (albeit one is dead)

If it's the same seller as mine- the subdials and hands are just printed on....

Probably will be going directly into the bin if that's the case.

Here's the little gem they sent me for 5usd.....

The case looks useable....

Do the pushers push in?

Yes I believe they do - I have since trashed it.

Did the 2 o’clock subdial hand mod on my Jupiter, took about 3 fiddly hours and bricked one of the donor movements I had. £7.99 on eBay UK if anyone needs a practise.

Also managed to snap off an orange subdial hand still attached to the pinion had to glue it together. Still couldn’t get it to quite line up dead centre. Worth doing for the experience though! Might try again at some point in future

I'm blessed with two left hands, so I decided not to fiddle with the movement. I'll rather take pics around noon

I asked for the new model but he sent me the old one

That certainly looks like the new dials, no green lume on it. But it has the silver chapter ring. It's a quick fix to remove the ring and it'll look a lot better.

Edit to add: which link did you buy that from? The OP? Which seller?

I don't think it's the new dial, only the color of the lume is exact.. the swatch writing under omega is bigger.
the strap is different, not to mention the color of the case and dial. the seller is the one of the post author's link.

Indeed I confirm the indexes with the green lume, you can't see it from the photo.

He is the vendor, and I explicitly asked for the latest version.

How strange. Did you contact him?

Yes, I await an answer

Hope it gets sorted for you. Maybe get a discount.
