Forgive my lazy approach to this question.
Im looking for a copy of The Moonwatch Only Book. They're priced all over the place depending on Issue number.
Are there any reasons for not picking up this copy? It's described as a Third Edition
Thank you

If you're looking for the Moonwatch Only book, this is not the one you need. The MWO 3rd edition is a guide not a story.

Good information, Thank you.
Ideally, I'm looking for the back story of the watch and technical details all in one. Is there such a version? Maybe this one ?

That's the one.

But you'd have to ask about shipping. It's a proper lump of a book!
Remember when an OF member shared a link, end of 2019, where that 3rd edition was available for pre-order for around € 120. Shipping was ridiculously low (€ 1,50 from UK to Netherlands) and we were wondering whether it was too good to be true, a lot of OF members got a bargain.

I bought mine from a seller in the UK in December 2019 for £102 + £1.46 for postage to the US, a grand total of USD 141.18. A bargain. I see Amazon has them for USD 222 + tax right now, so that's a good bet for those in the US. Cheaper than Watchprint.com which is quoting USD 290 delivered. Don't know if Donny's tariffs apply to printed material now, in the past books carried no tariff.

That was a screaming deal at that time indeed. Unfortunately no more. Price has gone up and availability to zero.

That said, MWO is worth its price for any serious collector. Highly recommended as a reference work for all things Moonwatch. And as a reassurance to the OP; the backstories included in it are great too.

Has anyone got a link to the presale for the 4th edition? I saw it a few weeks ago but can't find it now 😞
It was scheduled for January 2026 as I recall.
