Sorry for the spam picked up the strap today and the Hirsch one (dark brown) is lovely. Sun is out so I grabbed a better pic of the dial, which I'm in love with. I'm also struggling to see or even find the defect I posted earlier.

Couple more, love that titanium sheen but works on leather nato too. It’s chunky but comfy.

About as close to a GS as I'll ever get. My new Seiko Presage Sharp Edged. Have a nice hirsch leather strap arriving for it tomorrow.

Thanks, I bought it in Germany. Its much, much cheaper this side, and there are often proper sales and you can negotiate. SA prices are insane in comparison.

I really like it, although I do like changing straps and would feel a bit limited with the fixed lugs. You thinking of getting one?

Saw these today online and really like them too. Not super expensive either. Yes, it's not going to be a real Speedmaster, but they do have an appeal.

How much?

 

[Messugga]

How much?

Saw prices of around €250.

Oh in that case, I hope they're coming to SA, have my eye on a couple of variations. I reckon they'll be speculated to hell like cruddy Rolexes overseas.

Just wish there was an all black version, but maybe they'll do a DSOTM in the future.

Sadly it is a quartz a watch.

At R4k, that's what you're going to get. If you want an automatic Omega Speedmaster, buy an Omega Speedmaster.

Swatch does make affordable automatic movements. Why not use one of their sistem51 auto movements in this SpeedMaster homage design?
There is ZERO collectibility in quartz watches.

Not sure if they'll be coming to SA, maybe at a later date.

Wouldn't mind picking one up as the prices are pretty reasonable imo. The collection is very cool.

That movement was unserviceable?

I don't typically buy quartz because I irrationally hate the beat per second juddering tick. Even G-Shocks and X33s are affected. So my grab and go is a G Shock square. However I'll make an exception here because its bloody gorgeous and the tick is less jarring on a small seconds register.

I was also put off by the Quartz movements on these but there's no denying these look good and probably the only way I'd ever be able to afford a "Moon" watch.

Anyone know where I can get a cheapy refurbished.
It has leather straps that were affected by mould
