Omega Moonswatch reps - review of the cheap as chips new versions
- Thread starter NCRich
- Start date
Just got my moonswatches from dhgate and thought I'd post images of what I got for $15/each. I can't bring myself to pay more than $20 for a rep moonswatch...I know I know it's only $10 more for the swatch1 but I do like to gamble on the cheapies.
I got mine from qq409906347 dhgate.
Venus subdial border is really wrong makes it even more "blingy". This is the one I actually realy wanted.
The black snoopy's text on the moonphase is really bad and not even actual text. Doesn't lume up like other reps i've seen. Anyone have a swatch1 sboopy can confirm that the lumed text is good?

Someone is going to want that blinged up pink one... I feel like Karbon could do an ideal build with that.Just got my moonswatches from dhgate and thought I'd post images of what I got for $15/each.

brother you know me too wellI was looking at moissanite bags on AliX and thinking of how to ice the case
If you can make the bezel on the metal case somehow iced, that would be perfect!

If only those were mini diamonds. Hard to see i my pics but it's like the border itself is a single piece of shiny plastic and the megative space is the dial if that makes sense.
Someone asked me to make a red case before and was ready to pay crazy money. i declined.
I guess everything is possible but would not be reasonable
A basic Ceratoke kit is almost $1000
Plus the amount of hours to execute the painting, you need to remove the pushers, paint them and the crown individually
Then place the moissanites one by one, on the bezel and on the dial
That said, I saw a rep F91W sell for close to $400 so I guess money is relative to some
If you did a run of 10 of them, you could spread out the cost of the cerakote kit over all of the watches. Not your style I know but really the only way to effectively get into cerakoting watches... That would for sure bring moonswatches to the next level: cerakoted metal cases!Someone asked me to make a red case before and was ready to pay crazy money. i declined.

There is an enamel paint made by Pebeo that would stick to metal. I could handpaint.
The issue is that I don’t think the watch will stand any kind of regular wearing

Oh Gosh, now the cerakote mod...like I am not spending already too much time and money on this freaking watch addiction 
Please guys enough!
Please guys enough!
I saw the $200 cerakote basic kits...i'm so tempted (I've never cerakoted). But the biggest issue to me I think is finding matched bezel inserts.
TBH, I scaled down a lot on my bench time these past months.
…but I have a nice surprise project that outs in January

The best reps were from W77 but the shop closed
The Swatch1 are indeed better than the q shops but not twice better
The print on the swatch1 2H snoopy is okish but don’t expect anything like gen finesse…
The subdial is lumed but lasts like 20seconds
also the « black lume » on the hands is not lume.

Thanks, I wasn't looking for a 1:1 but I really wanted the snoopy and to have the text be some weird smudged nonsense made me sad. They should have just kept it blank.
I'd take a few seconds of glow so long as I could read it after shining it with a flashlight.

W77 had text. This one does not.
It’s honestly pretty good for 18€

This one was a bitch. The case was way too big to hold the dial… i got creative and used the chapter ring from the rep and a washer underneath
It also helped as the crystal was too low.
