I enjoyed reading about your deliberations. I find these things interesting, what we weigh when deciding on a watch. I look forward to seeing a wrist shot of your new Snoopy.
Hello friends!! During my last visit to our local Omega Boutique I was shown (and tempted by) the new version of the Moonwatch introduced at beginnings of this year replacing the previous reference 311.30.42.30 … which had been in production from 2014 thr...
Unfortunately I didn't go completely through your most through review. As soon as I saw that this latest version, I was sold on the stepped dial and DON Bezel

Hard to argue any points. I had never heard of the "milk ring". I own the previous generation, sapphire dial, and will look for it! All brushed bracelet - huge advantage for the Hesalite on the new model. Congrats on your well informed choice, it is a bea...
... beautiful and offer nice particular details each. I call "milk ring to a white ring you´ll observe inside dial between bezel and minutes track which is classic in the sapphire glass but not present in hesalite. Cheers! Abel
A couple of questions: 1. How is the winding feel between old and new. I love the winding feel of the old 2. Do you like more the smaller and more in quantity seconds’ outer track of the previous model’s dial or the new version 3. Is the black color and m...
1) In my personal view the feeling and noise at winding is very similar. But it is possible your feel is different because brand new Speedmasters winding stem is usually very tight due to the gaskets being new. Sometimes they are Very tight as it was the ...
Thank you so much for the greatly insightful and thoughtful inputs. Unsurprisingly they are superb and so deeply reflected! This is invaluable input and I hope I manage to make the Apollo bracelet work with the chocolate speedy. Have a wonderful weekend a...
I feel you will be very pleased fitting the Apollo bracelet to your chocolate Speedy. Look forward to your post showing it after you get and fit it to your watch. Hagwe my friend!! Abel

... any potential owner to decide too. In any case, it is only a matter of personal taste as both variants are wonderful. (I know that sooner or later I will go for the sapphire as well! Lol!) With much pleasure I will post some shots of the Snoopy as wel...
Now as for the Bracelet, I much prefer the former one. It is funny, but when I saw your last picture, I thought about the Oyster and Jubilée Rolex bracelets. And I much prefer the Oyster. Aprovecha, amigo mio. Un abrazo. Nico
... last Tuesday at the Omega Boutique, first impression about the bracelet was: wow! it feels as comfortable as the Jubilee! As much as I prefer the Oyster, I must admit that the Jubilee is more comfortable as it is more flexible. The only model I like b...
... matter considering our personal tastes. No one will go wrong choosing one or another. I like the new bracelet so much. It is good looking and flexible and very comfortable. Only critic I would make is that I would like to have micro adjusting on its c...
Completely agree with you that the final selection is a very personal matter. We can’t never go wrong with any of these superb new models! Cheers! Abel
. . . even though I'm not in the running for either, having decided to go for Ed instead. (Sedna came in second, btw!) Thanks much for laying the reasons out so clearly and thoughtfully. Art
I feel that if a potential purchaser goes for only one modern steel Speedmaster in his collection, then the Ed White is the one as it is the most exquisite among the steel case Speedies ever offered imho. Receive my best cordial regards, my dear friend. A...
Not only you give us a great comparison and review, but also great pictures as always. This would be my natural choice also. It is a modern rendition of the 1969 146.022 that I love so much. Best regards and enjoy it in good health. René
... choice would be the same. In any case, both versions are wonderful watches indeed. I send my best cordial regards, y un fuerte abrazo mi amigo. Abel
