New old Omikron

Just picked up this new to me 60’s Omikron for next to nothing on eBay. Don’t know much about it other than the brand. The camera doesn’t really do th...

Two new projects added to my workbench

I know the sensible advice is to not jump into trying to actually repair watches when getting started, but where's the fun in that?! :) The 7002 appea...

That is hard, but I love the texture of that blue dial with the pop of the gold hands

Amazon also have way better prices than what Seiko list on their website, and it's from the official Seiko seller on Amazon too.

Welcome aboard!

commented on Moonswatch, is there a price for its value? ·

OP, as you can see from these comments opinions are "mixed" about the merits and value of the MoonSwatch 😂.

I would just say, in my personal opinion as an owner of one, you should buy a MoonSwatch because you like it and you want one, not because it's a cheaper Omega (which it's not), not because it's a high-quality piece of craftsmanship (which it's not) and not because it's popular (which as you see depends on who you ask).

I agree with many here that it's overpriced and I think a better price point would be $150-200 but clearly it sells just fine at its current price (and above) so the market has decided that it's priced appropriately. Also, I would argue that if you value the MoonSwatch just based on its build and technical ability then I think you also have to question the cost of any watch that costs thousands of dollars when the cost to make it is much, much lower. Just my 2 cents.

To add to this, your personal value is going to be different than what the market value is. I think you’re going to be extremely unlikely to find one for under $200 in working condition as they’re a hot ticket and routinely selling well over MSRP.

That’s funny, that’s one of the straps I was looking at. Great minds…

Love to hear any strap suggestions, I’m overwhelmed by options.
