Omega

Moonshine Speedy for me.

Love the look and the classic features. Manual wind watches are my favorites. They are a daily joy to wind. A gold Speedy is just pure class.

Battle of the yellow gold Titans. Which one do you choose and why ?

By: holdemchamp1225 : February 12th, 2021-09:24

A fellow WPS purist asked me how the Moonshine stacks up to a comparable Daytona in color, quality, extra so I decided to take some photos and let others decides for themselves... I know this is the Omega section so se might be biased so I will post in th...

Both are very appealing, but I think I prefer the Omega

The gold used is so beautiful and the bracelet so confortable. Bravo for having both btw, you are my master 😱

LOL, your Jedi master 🤣😂. Thanks for your feedback my friend. 1 - 0 for the Moonshine 👍

By: holdemchamp1225 : February 12th, 2021-10:14

In this case, the Omega for me, as well.

Thanks for chiming in mon ami. 2 - 0 for the Moonshine 👍

Moonshine

By: myles721 : February 12th, 2021-10:04

Not even close (as if there was any question😂) The Moonshine. I’m not sure I could rock either which tells you how much cooler Justin (or Yokozuna) is than me. I do wish Speedmaster had greater water resistance in general but still no question. Omega is g...

Makes sense and agreed. 3 - 0 for the Moonshine 👍

Fun comparo

By: roundel : February 12th, 2021-10:09

I must admit that when I first saw the Moonshine, I thought it was a model from the 70s. The red bezel against the yellow gold did not strike me as a current color way. I have also not been able to become enamored by manual wind Speedmasters. The small cr...

Thanks for the input. I understand your winding problem with the Omwga crown and crown guards but you must try winding the caliber 3861 as it is smoother than the 1861. 3 - 1 Moonshine 👍

Cool comparison, Omega for me as well!

By: jleno : February 12th, 2021-10:19

Love the black indices especially, and the movement makes it a no-brainer!

Thanks for the input Jordan. The black indices are actually Onyx which makes it even cooler 😉. Agreed about the movement but don't forget the piece of moon meteorite incrusted into the case back 😉. 4 - 1 Moonshine

By: holdemchamp1225 : February 12th, 2021-10:22

No message body

I wasn't aware of the meteorite, that's an awesome touch!

By: jleno : February 12th, 2021-10:47

Yep, the Moonshine is full of surprises which is why I think it is so special 😉😁

By: holdemchamp1225 : February 12th, 2021-10:51

Moonshine without any hesitation.

By: India Whiskey Charlie : February 12th, 2021-11:33

Thanks for the feedback here and in the Rolex forum. Agreed on the Moonshine. 5 - 1 Moonshine 👍

By: holdemchamp1225 : February 12th, 2021-11:43

i have both...

By: Peter : February 12th, 2021-12:51

...and the Daytona green is for me the clear winner. more wrist presence, more comfortable to wear.

Thanks for your feedback but I would have to disagree with you here. Also having both, for me the Moonshine has clearly more wrist presence and wears just as comfortably as the Daytona. Check out the surprising results in the Rolex forum. 5 - 2 Moonshine

By: holdemchamp1225 : February 12th, 2021-13:07

Thats a fun competition. After much deliberation, I wud pick Daytona for the wrist presence even though Moonshine is a better watch overall...

By: redcorals : February 12th, 2021-16:04

..Daytona has smoother curves, perfect sized, great color combo- just very elegent overall. It is also a very photogenic watch. Omega is bigger bolder and somehow i cant quite put it in elegance bin. I think its the red bezel which takes it over the top. ...

Thanks for your feedback. 5 - 3 Moonshine 👍

By: holdemchamp1225 : February 13th, 2021-01:16

I prefer the Omega.. but almost always prefer an Omega!!

By: D-TIME1 : February 12th, 2021-21:13

Just something about the Speedmaster dial that I think is untouchable in the world of Chronographs! And something about the under the radar look of this gold Omega uses is special... if only I had the funds!! -D-

Thanks for your input and agreed. 6 - 3 Moonshine 👍

Moonshine Speedy for me.

Thanks for the feedback Mark. Agreed on all counts. I also prefer a manual wind for the exact same reason 😉. 7 - 3 Moonshine 👍

By: holdemchamp1225 : February 13th, 2021-08:31

Thanks for doing this...

By: nacelle : February 13th, 2021-09:39

...love the moonshine

Thanks for the feedback. 8 - 4 Moonshine 👍
