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?

its probably a good "first" watch if you are starting a collection. At this point its a bit of a meme watch. But i'll tell you. When i started i had a Quartz Casio duro...and smartwatches.

then the moonswatch came out, before that i wasnt really aware of the speedmaster and its history and heritage...so i read up on all of it. I've always been obsessed with the moon landings since i did a report in highschool. Well of course the moonwatches were sold out and i didn't wanna pay scalper prices. It started eating at me, and i started obsessing. Long story short, i went to an Omega AD, and bought a hesalite 3861. Since then i've aquired other "space" watches. Lunar Pilot, Murph, Gshocks. I have my eye on the X33 skywalker. so yea...for me the swatch set off my watch collection, even though i still dont own one.
