Hello All, I would really like to add a moon phase watch to my collection. Either modern or vintage will do. I have a price cap of around $1K USD. I've been doing my research and am leaning towards a Glycine Combat 6 Moonphase Watch. It has a in house movement built off of a Selita SW-280 and can be had for just under $500.

I have a little to play with budget wise and would greatly appreciate any other ideas or recommendations our members may have. Thanks in advance.

 

PIERCE had sme nice vintage pieces with a laughing moon!, but with a small diameter:



There is one on a German site:

I purchased a Longines Moon Phase Swiss Automatic from the Longines Master collection on eBay.

 

Very nice. Did you get it withing your $1000 budget? If so I am impressed. Regardless it is a very nice piece, and a good value.

 

I was able to get it for $1,525 shipped. Went a little over, but I think it was worth it.

 

I agree, I have always liked Longines Moon phase.

 

Mine says Hi -

 

Congrats. That’s a nice looking piece!

 

Thank you.
