For manual winding watches ...
Winding on every morning is not an annoyance but a pleasure.
By winding the watch you, somehow, relates to it and, believe me, its a nice morning "ritual".
As a matter of fact, and preference, I prefer manual winding watches, because of this interaction.
A quick note. If you acquire your Speedmaster Moon brand new, during the first months the winding crown will be stiff but as the time passes the winding will be much more smooth.
Cheers,

Omega Speedmaster Moon
Hi guys, I'm looking at the mechanical Speedmaster Moon for my 40th birthday, but I intend to wear it as a daily wrist watch. Do any current owners of the 3570.50 find the manual find every two days an annoyance? And how well does the winder stand up to t...
If you plan to wear it as the daily watch ...
You should wind it every day, every morning as an example. You will not experience any crown unscrewing issue because the Moon Watch 3750.50 does not have a screw in crown. Is a watch that is being produced (with the 861/1861 movement), with very minor ch...

I prefer hand-winding watches also but for another reason.
Michael, I like the fact that, during a rotation among two or three watches in a week, I can simply wind the Speedmaster in the morning and leave it to rest while I enjoy wearing the other watch(es) without having to worry about the Speedmaster stopping a...

Thank you both for taking the time to respond. I've decided to definitely get one, the original 3570.50 version. I love everything about the look of this watch, and the 42mm case is the perfect size for my wrist. I did look at the slightly cheaper 323.30....
Good decision ...
The Speedmaster Professional is one of the few iconic watches that everyone loves. Please note that, by that forum rules, we don't discuss prices here. Take your time and do your research. I'm sure that you can locate a good deal. Cheers, Nilo
You will not have the same problem as with the Rolex...
HI Michael From your post the your Rolex is a manual wind Oyster. That means everytime you needed to wind the watch you had to unscrew the crown , that could cause undue wear to the crown and tube if your not careful. I bet the crown and tube could have g...
