If I'm buying one it would be the Antarctic. But also...why would I be buying one? lol
I gave into the Moonswatch hype only because...well because I love Speedies.
This, I do not love. But that still doesn't mean I don't want one....DAMMIT!

Whenever i buy a plastic watch, I’ve decided I’m in for a royal oak G shock. At least it’s 100 euros and not 250++, and I know it will be indestructible. I’m not spending 260 euros on a watch that’s going to break soon enough.

I am still waiting on Rolex to introduce a cheap plastic Submariner knock-off. Done in yellow it can be the "Yellow Submarine-r."

I'll bet it'd be popular too. Would give Rolex all kinds of positive exposure. Buy fifty of them and one could be placed on a five year waiting list for a real Submariner.

Not that bad anymore. I got the 124060 in 7 months and I'm nobody special...well not at the AD anyway 😀

Looks like a watch I had when I was 10.

I actually really like these. Price and exclusivity might ruin it for me but I’d go for the Atlantic blue.

Yup, really like them but the fifty fathoms has always been amongst the best looking watches imo. I won’t be getting one unless one magically offered to me (at cost) by a generous member here who was traveling. I’d like to bake the dial get that tropical look I’ve been doing the with moonswatches for the past year and I’ve been making bank.
Yeah from me.

Non-Serviceable. Non-repairable.
Average life span - three to six years?

It better be cheap.

I was just wondering about this. Sistem51 came out in 2013. I wonder how many are still ticking and how long they can really last. Is it really only 3-6 years?

Just my guess. Could last longer, it'd depend on environment, use and handling.

I’m a fan - especially the blue (Atlantic Ocean) version.

Really a great platform to allow a multitude more to participate in this hobby and experience mechanical watches and interesting designs.

If a fan picks up all five (some picked up all MoonSwatch's) we are talking a cool $2,000, not chump change.
