Just a backstory.

I am trying to get into watches. I dont have much knowledge. I’ve picked up a couple of seikos and im in love with them. I got gifted this Omega moonswatch, and its a beautiful timepiece.

Is there something I need to know about this watch? What is your guys opinion on this particular timepiece. Also, do you recommend if i change the strap?

Change the strap and put in on a nice leather strap

gotta disagree with this. I think a real speedy looks great on a leather strap, especially a rally strap. but the bioceramic (plastic) just doesn't work as well with leather. I think it looks great on the current nato.

If anything, I'd suggest flipping the nato the other way so that the fold back is on the outside.

Barton makes a two-piece faux-nato that I really like on mine.

Yeah I fully agree, I think that with this particular watch the leather strap would draw too much attention to itself and a canvas/nato is the way to go.

The original MoonSwatch strap looks horrible and cheap. First thing I did with my Jupiter/ Mars/ Moon and Neptune was to remove the original strap and replace it by a Horus rubber strap

I feel like the case looks so plasticky in this colorway that the leather is really off

[–] asli_bob@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The leather itself is really soft and nice. The watch is very light and compact. Yes the watch is plastic, but the two together feel and look fantastic overall. I'm very happy with it. The grey on grey is a nice addition to the moon shtick.

I have the Mercury so I know the watch! And I’m sure the strap is quite nice. To each their own… enjoy my friend!

Which Casio is that?
