Deep Blue has 40mm and 44mm Seiko SKX homages for $99.
Uses an NH36, sapphire glass and 300m WR so you beat the performance of the OG SKX and in a smaller diameter for you nerds.

Allow me a different perspective.
I would buy this as a dress watch, and dressing up is something I do very infrequently. I would put on my suit, take the time to accurately set the time and moonphase, and basically stare at it every chance I got during the dinner/party/event/whatever, marveling at the dial and moon.
And then it would go back in the box until the next dressy occasion.
The simplicity (and more specifically the bold statement made by omitting more useful features such as even minute ticks around the dial) is the draw. It’s impractical and boastful about it.
Also I cracked up with your “What time is it? Moon.” comment. I will now forever see this watch and immediately repeat that line in my head.

We’ve been recently having some discussions about the seeming increase in quantity of “identify my fake” posts.
We are looking into some tweaks to automoderator, but most likely this spring we will have it as a large ballot item on our State of the Subreddit meta post where you the community annually get to guide our policies.
