Same. I thought I wanted one until I tried it on. The Fifty Fathoms collab was the same. Charging $400 for that one was a bold move.

This. Felt so cheap and toyish to me. Just couldn't do it.

Because it is.
I have the moon version of the Moonswatch. Yes it's plastic. Yes it's a swatch. It's still something I wear at times. I'm wearing Dad's Rolex 4 days a week at the office and if I wear the Moonswatch the kids in class ask if I'm wearing a Moonswatch. It's strange.
It's definitely cheap feeling because it's a plastic swatch. It's not worth msrp, but can be had for cheaper on Amazon and is fun for game day. Just don't expect it to be something it's not
Took this one earlier this week. Really like how it came out

Speaking of Titanium, I got a new high end piece …
Not really…. It's gonna be a great beater though
I like it, *FARMER COVER YOUR EARS* but if you ever want to class up a beater, have a modder throw a domed crystal and a ceramic bezel on it. You would be amazed what it does to the look of the watch
Same watches below
This Timex actually comes with a flat sapphire crystal and a titanium bezel so I don't plan on swapping it. But, funny you should mention that Seiko. I modded my SKX with a matte black bezel, domed sapphire, and new rubber strap. I also modded my citizen pro master with a domed sapphire
I like it
Oh yeah, meant to mention, you don't need a modder. You can get a crystal press cheap on Amazon !
Oh also, if anyone wants to be like Sea Speed, I'm selling my GMT Master II since I got the Root Beer.
$10,250, with box and papers

What a sexy watch.
It really is.
If you wanted to have just one Rolex in a larger (5+ watch collection), I think this merits consideration for that watch because of the versatility and lanes it fills.
I really debated letting and get (and trading "up" for the Root Beer), but ultimately with where my collection is headed I think I need my black dial sports watch to be more of a beater than an every day and decided I could use the GMT slot to elevate the collection's pizazz factor.

I'm a huge fan of the GMT though I've never been a fan of the polished center links - it can draw too much attention to the watch IMO.
Hal Martin's brushed the polished links for me on my bracelet and it tones down the shine substantially. If I remember he may have only charged a couple of hundred bucks.
This is a great deal on a discontinued model.
GLWS.

I like it to differentiate from the sub.
And with the very very small amount of people who give a crap what's on your wrist or even think to look, I don't mind drawing just a little bit more attention to some watches.
Man I absolutely love the polished center links
Great price...this is the watch that Shawn Ryan wearsTheOC16 said:

Perfect watch for travelling around world and potentially using as a 'get out of a jam' piece if ever needed.
The polished center links are one of my favorite parts of my Chronomaster Open, but they definitely tend to stand out in a world of brushed bracelets.

100%. I'll have mine repolished eventually. my bracelet has a lot of superficial wear and tear.
Tempting but I want a Bruce Wayne BIGGLY.
Another Speedy Friday in the books.

Yep, that's why it has a toot button.

Speaking of the super cheap Moonswatches, I ended up with an extra new in box Mission to Earth. Looking for $200 + 1/2 of shipping (I'm on the east coast). PM if interested and I'll send pics, timestamps, etc
WTH kind of car is that?slaughtr said:Sea Speed said:
