Just remember they only offer 50m water resistance. People have damaged them washing hands.

I'm eyeing two Rolex's for my next milestone. The meteorite Pepsi or birth year Coke.
Gold Day Date is my ultimate goal, but I want the days of the week in Spanish.

Congratulations bro!Went to a Rolex event tonight. Picked this up.
Very nice piece. Hopefully you can be as controlled about picking up more pieces as you say. I've seen pictures of the AM1 collection lol

Thats a quick, but all you need to know really before buying one guide.
Reply to this if you any speedy questions and i can answer them, also can give you more videos recently posted about movements etc.
As for taking a daily beating youll be wanting to decide what model crystal best suits you, as you know you have the choice of hesalite or sapphire. Hesalite looks better and is more true to the original, but will scratch more easily, but minor scratches can be removed with polywatch, even toothpaste. Sapphire not so much but doesn’t look as good (to moonwatch collectors).
But sounds like you dont care anyway, chucking it on rubber. Id find a good 2015ish 2nd hand one that doesnt get worn, or has had a service., or go new. Depending on your budget.

I looooved mine, but i swapped it up to a planet ocean. Was amazed when the guy said yes. This was about 3 years ago. Funny how the moonswatch has inflated speedy prices right now.modzzilla how you liking the moonswatch? been wearing mine every day since i got it. really digging the jupiter.
Speedy was an itch i had to scratch. And i still love them.
Damn i love the planet though….
Ill almost definitely go buy a new Speedy this year though. I miss it.
But ill have to get the chrono hand swapped out, the tear drop covering the Omega logo grips my ****.
Wouldn’t mind an X33 Skywalker too….seeing as its the other watch you can have issued if youre an astronaut.

Lol, just realised you meant MoonSwatch!
Ahahaaa
Mate the Mercury is the sausage sandwhich
Especially on a black nato. I wear it all the time.
I might grab Uranus for summer and maybe Pluto coz it looks sick on a burgundy nato.
But only if they have them in stock if im passing by. Not going out of my way to grab them.
Ps. Dont use the stopwatch…..you can throw the second hand out of wack, and its a pain to get it lined up with the 12 again….

Thanks for this, It confirmed that there are a ton of variations. Kind of overwhelming, but I'd definitely want the most durable crystal. I'll use 2015 as my starting point and reach out with any questions. Thanks again

my two gripes with the speedy…
50m water resistant
50hr power reserve
two issues that shiuld be easy enough for omega to solve but chooses not to
jist like how stubborn they are with the helium escape valve on the seamaster that absolutely no one uses

Where you get it?Moonswatch prices are coming down. $100 over MSRP delivered. Grabbing some rubber straps for this.

Yeah a 100m version would he the bees knees.
The helium valve has become a bit of a symbol i think, you see it and you know from across the room youre looking at some form of Omega.
As for the 50m, acording to dude in the vid uo there if you own a relatively new speedy, swimming in pools is no issue at all, as long as you make sure you dont operate the pushers and crown.
50m is damn deep if youve ever dived down even 10 or 20, so im totally sure hes correct. The pressure in a 3m pool would be fine on a new moonwatch.

Lifelong goal finally achieved. Purchased at retail from an AD. Might not be the most flashy Rolex but it’s mine and I love it.
They gave you the golf balls?
Heard they got golf towels, ball markers, and **** now
Need to talk to my sales woman

Haha yep! Got the hat and the golf balls. I love golf so that was a nice surprise. Didn’t even know they gave me that stuff until I got home and looked in my bag. The hats really nice. I’ll def be wearing it to golf. I’ll prob keep one of the balls and maybe use the other two. I do lose balls with the quickness.They gave you the golf balls?

eh the valve is simply a sign of omegas stubborness, no one cares for it
as for the 50m, still too risky and i sure am not willing find out so instead of it getting picked up to be worn, i end up choosing something else
i mean 30m is also close to 100 feet and thats pretty damn deep for a regular swimmer like me (i usually chill in the 4feet area) but watches rated 30m is considered splash resistant

The valve completely turns me off to those omegas. If it weren’t for that I’d have one.
Did I read that right that new speedys have screw down crown?

Hey guys whats the deal with these? I’m not familiar but a guy in my groups makes these? He wants 365. These “legit” in our circle? Or should I just grab a moonswatch as my “affordable” novelty watch?
Thanks guys!

no screw down, thats the worst thing for manual winds

overpriced, the stock g shocks can be had for $100 or less (i got the smaller one and paid $75 from macy i think) and then the kit is maybe $80 at aliexpress and it such an easy mod
from this:
to this:
as for which to get, simply subjective, get which looks better… to me the gshocks more fun (especially modding), will last longer, cheaper and easier to get

Scooped one of these. Not sure if I'll keep it or not. This is my buddy wearing his. He has tiny wrists though, think it's small for me. Definitely smaller than the Casioaks.
