Looking good. Any thoughts about the Hesalite vs Sapphire?

I find it to be a very difficult decision to make!

Same here...

Part of me loves the Hesalite and the other part loves the view of the movement.

See above

And yes, I concur that the display back would be terrific.

Yeah, I read you my friend...

I ended up going for the Hesalite. But I liked the applied logo on the dial, the polished link was a nice touch too. But in the end, originality and faithfulness to the true Moonwatch won me over.

I wrestled with it- love the modern carefree sapphire, but the “milk ring” is real and I didn’t care for the look. I think the polished links on the sapphire bracelet work better with the case though.

Tell me more about the "milk ring" and I just realized I already bought the Hesalite back in November.

The shape of the sapphire causes a whitish ring around the edges of the dial, the Hesalite is clear. But it scratches, so everything is a trade off. Search engine should find you some images, one of the big watch blogs has some nice comparison shots.

Oops. Silly me. Yes! Google found it!

Thank you!

Is this what you guys are referring to?

Photo: Monochrome ...  

Yes, that’s it.

 
By: bsbg : February 20th, 2022-20:48

Yup!

Your photo really captures how different this is to the sapphire version.

A beauty!

Nicely captured. I never realized that this dial had such a a texture.

Same here.

Aaah, I thought I was the only one to have missed that detail. ;)

 
By: amanico : February 20th, 2022-09:37

the picture really enhances the texture

I do not believe you could see anything close to this in reality (with your own, normal eyes!)

True but good to know that it is made like this.

And you usually can’t see the omega in the crystal without a loupe. Apple makes a good camera these days…

Really amazing cell phone camera...

Hesalite . . .

. . . vs sapphire. My preference aesthetically is for hesalite, but sapphire has its advantages, too. Art ...
