Just realized these were a thing. I have a seamaster but i have always luster after a Speedmaster. This looks like it could scratch the itch. Am I a poser to get one of these? https://www.swatch.com/en-us/mission-to-the-moon-so33m100/SO33M100.html |

I have the Moon Swatch. Also Neptune. They are cool, but cheap watches. And they Velcro straps they come with are very cheap looking. I replaced the Moon watch with a black leather band with white stitching and a deployant buckle. Neptune got a blue woven nylon band. Overall, happy to add these to my collection as an Omega Speedmaster is out of reach for me, and it does scratch that itch pretty well. |

Am I a poser to get one of these? There's a bit of a cult following where people put the Moonswatch movement in a metal Speedmaster (or clone) case: https://www.reddit.com/r/RepTime/comments/1bc5rl3/moonswatch_metal_case_mod/ https://www.rwg.bz/board/index.php?/topic/172810-moonswatch-metal-mod-showcase/ |

These actually look pretty nice. More of an homage. https://www.paganidesignwatch.com/pagani-design-pd-1701 |

Attached File Put a $17 fake in a metal vk63 case. Also have a Mission to Moon real one. Like the fake one a little better. Swatch also sells a similar metal chronometer the Night Flight. |

And to answer your question, my IPHONE is my pocket watch. |

I hear Arafat bought his suits there. I have two myself. To keep inline with the thread, I'm still wishing that they made these with a smaller face so I could buy the mission to Uranus for my wife. |
