Just looking at the straps on the omega site - it allows you to change virtually - wow what a change in appearance of the watch. Superb!
I've seen these situations play out poorly in the past. While a very good intention, make certain that your partner will like it before you spend such a great deal of money. A trip to a boutique will reveal his tastes based on simple observations an innocent talk on the way home.
Good Morning All. Well the day has arrived when I collect 'The Watch' we have all discussed. Nervous as hell for some reason! I will be sure to send a photo. Anyway we have some friends that have been asking if they could buy my partner a dual Watch Winder. Now I know there are so many to look at. But more importantly would it be a wasted gift if not needed? HELP! So as you know he currently has the Omega Planet Ocean which is I believe an Automatic (have to shake it to start it??). But I believe the Moonwatch is 'Mechanical' which I presume would not need a winder. SO HELP IS NEEDED AGAIN!! I may got this all wrong of course!
I'm really just commenting to see the photos that you've promised but will also address the question of a winder: the "Moonwatch" isn't simply mechanical, it is "hand-wound". To modern eyes that might seem anachronistic (I love that word - just means old fashioned or ot of date) ... in fact, it creates a little ritual and connection to your watch when you pick it up in a morning and wind the crown and/or set the time. For that reason, the winder is superfluous to requirements.
That's interesting actually. I like that thought process.
My other concern of course is having a watch winder out on display with watches nearing 8k - my partner wouldn't wear either of these watches during the day I don't imagine due to his line of work.
Don't bother with a winder, no need. A nice watch box or roll will suffice. Seen as the Moonwatch is a manual wind, as stated one section will be redundant - thats if of course he doesn't buy another automatic watch...
See you in a year or so when he has 5 more lol
