    ......... well, obviously not :p but I thought this play of light created such a convincing Gibbous Moon looking pattern on my dial.

    This would've gone in the Photo section of the boards, but let's poll, shall we? Would you buy a Speedy with the barest hint of the Moon imprinted on the dial?

    As sacrilegious as I sound, I just might. :D

    No, They did not go to the moon with a speedy with a pic of the moon on it.

    This would make a great pic for WRUW today.

    Oh I know. :) The question was, "Would you buy a Speedy that had a faint picture of the Moon On the dial?"

    What do you mean "might"? Just check moon to mars dial :p The moon is very clearly imprinted.....with bonus of earth and mars.

    No I would not. Because the original speedy the astronauts went to the moon with did not have a picture of a moon on the dial. What is the point of having a man on the moon watch, if it is not true to the original. Ok they are variations on the original but in my opinion having pics of a moon on the dial is not good. However, suggest it to Omega they will go for it as it will be a great opportunity for them to cash in. Oh dear, just seen moon to mars dial.

    Before you all shoot me down, I am a traditionalist and believe they should keep the dial original the same as the model that was on the moon. I am not a fan of all the variations like moon to mars, dark side of the moon etc.

    Variations on a standard speedmaster are ok as long as you do not link it to the moon missions.

    JUST MY OPINION YOUR OPINIONS MAY BE DIFFERENT
