路But, yes, thanks for the compliment, it looks really good, and (shameless plug) it's likely going to hit the Private Sales section very soon 馃槜
I've been looking into buying a regular Moonwatch, but I have thinner wrists and somehow I like how much there is going on in the MK40 dial. Plus the punchy accent colors of course!
There are a lot of Michael Schumacher (the German F1 driver) editions out there on Chrono24, does anyone know how they differ from the 'regular' MK40? It looks similar and looking at the photos, even the back doesn't seem to 'commemorate' Schumacher in any way.

路yup... sometimes I wonder if i should have really sold mine. But it's water down the bridge now.
really cool piece and a lot more "horological" than the H10, which I still will not diss because I like it too... but not worth the asked price i think.
Good luck with the chase!

路I recently purchased a 1997 MK40 and have not been able to figure out how to change the month. Is there a quickset? I was hoping not to have to bring it all the way to December manually.

Use the quick set on the date hand, and rotate that hand all the way around the dial. There is no way to quick set the month...

路Got one too (blue sunburst dial with applied Omega logo, 39mm).
The caliber is based on the Valjoux 7751, it is a reliable workhorse and is easy to find a watchmaker to service it when there is the need.
My only complain about it is not the bracelet per se, but the clasp that feels cheap compared to other more modern bracelets (but it is correct for a 20 years old timepiece).
Very nice watch indeed. I own the "all black" model and, for me, it is "the perfect Speedmaster": you take a Moonwatch, fix all its minor perks and "ta-dahhh!" you get a triple-date.
I don't share your opinion about the clasp, though. I don't feel it cheap and it's definetely the most comfortable I own.

No, there isn't: you'll need to move it all the way to DEC.
You can adjust the weekday independently, though: is the little button on the top left side (it only works out of the "forbidden hours").
