    So I was looking at the different Speedmaster Moonwatches and different LE versions. One really stood out as being an odd fit among the others. It was the Last Man on the Moon celebrating Apollo 17. I understand they copied the mission patch but I would say it's a little off compared to many of the other Moonwatches.

    It's like Fight Club, and you just broke Rule 1.

    So I guess as punishment I will never be able to wear a Moonwatch on my wrist.

    Just out of curiosity does anyone know if the posts on the movement on this version are the same as a normal Soeedy.

    Yeah that chin and neck is just wrong. But that is only part of it.
    I have to wonder if they had an in-house submit your design, picked a hand full and then people voted on it.

    If so then the in-house voters erred.

    I came across one for purchase 1-2 months ago for $2300. I offered up $1800, but denied. I was going to use it as a donor watch. This one has a sapphire crystal, so hence my $1800 offer.

    That's bad. But pretty close to the truth. Wonder if anybody bought one here

    Even the colour for the hands are bad. I just noticed it did indeed have 3 sundials.

    Ok this is a better shot of the dial. Hands are more visible.

    Interesting picture, shows the writing to be on the glass versus the dial, i.e., the overlap on the hands...
    Am I missing something here?!

    Hard to believe, ain't it? It does look like a photoshopped bad joke.
