Do you like my cute Pandas 🐼?

Omega released 2 new moonshine gold Speedmasters this year, green dial or panda dial, in full bracelet or in leather/rubber strap.

It really took me a long time time to decide between the green dial or this panda, not in the bracelet but in straps.

My first choice was the green but after many months of wait and seeing more reviews, I decided not to go with the trend and opted for this version.

The green dial coming in the leather was also a factor, as I really like this new rubber version. Granted you can now order this rubber strap to fit in most Moonwatches and I think it’s worth the change because it is really comfortable, even more so than the Oysterflex that comes with the inner lips which puts dents on my wrist and occasionally causing discomfort.

I already have the Moonshine Apollo 11 50th on bracelets and I have to admit I seldom wear it due to the heft, and only during special occasions.

Some might suggest buying the bracelet version then add this rubber strap and you can save $$$ because the price difference is “only” $11k USD but to buy the bracelet separately will cost upwards of $16k USD.

I am a watch collector, not gold collector so I rather use the savings of $11K for my next watch 😬

This rubber version is a great balance.

Lovely, I got a deposit down on the green on the bracelet..

Would be my first full gold bracelet watch. Let’s see if I like it…

I think if this is your first, it will be special. The new ones are 1mm wider than the Apollo 11 50th Moonshine which I personally feel too narrow...

but it's for the 1969 tribute which I understand. Another reason I didn't get the green is because of this one. ...  

Oh!! Yes, you already have a green gold Chrono!

Striking contrast between these two!

That Apollo Moonshine is stunning, and with that gorgeous dial!

Indeed these Speedmasters can be so versatile in their design…

That can be so diffenent and interesting. I feel good about this version, going to last a long time not feeling tired of seeing it.

Yep!

Very Nice! Interested in how you wear them as opposed to your Daytonas…

Not better or worse but more about your impressions of each… ...  

During the Thanksgiving break…

I wore my Oysterflex Daytona 116515LN for vacation…and I found myself looking at it many times. It is also an attractive watch with a superb movement. The 4130 is so accurate and reliable. ...  

Awesome 👏!

That is one cool Speedmaster, Raymond!

Congrats on an awesome choice! Cheers, Alex

The only problem I have with gold Speedmasters . . .

 
 By: Dr No : December 2nd, 2022-20:32
. . . is that they're impossible to wear in dive bars, pool halls, and nightclubs. I almost went for the Sedna red gold Speedy. When it came to pulling the trigger, I just couldn't. Where would I wear it? As I've mentioned before, the ultimate Speedmaster...  

Why are they impossible to wear in dive bars, pool halls, and nightclubs?

 
 By: Clueless_Collector : December 2nd, 2022-22:58
You can wear anything in those areas you mentioned, lol....or even wear "nothing"

The Sedna . . .

. . . and Moonshines are so gorgeous I'd be wary of scratching them in a pool game or, like last night, being around a bunch of drunk England fans. Seriously - they were singing, dancing, and sloshing their pints around like the scene from Seven Brides Fo...
