What time is it? Watches and horology

Lovely except the scampi

Nice, it definitely seems to come out darker than the official shots, looks better for it too

Yes indeed, better than the Moon. Some better light.

Or a genuinely great homage that is cheaper than those will be getting flipped for

Those are fantastic, just hard to get that exact model.

Unless it's better made...

It's a 'legitimate' rip off of a great watch. So it'll be a rip off of the ligit rip off - is it still shit?

What if the legit rip off is shit but the Chinese copy is better...?

We all know the smoon is a money grabbing exercise using a beloved piece using inferior plastic

Just a thought

A hint at the different models if the MoonSwatch series is anything to go on

Oh I see they only made 60 of those so not really an alternative. Nice though

It's hard not to get excited by a map tbf

Strap made of penguin skin / polar bear etc ?

Eskimo gooch... 😎

I’m waiting for the North Sea edition.. light brown, specked with dark brown and an ocean-plastic strap

I do like that little Squale diver hommage, would I think fit my puny wrist well (35mm?), and I could wear a sporty but smart watch without looking like a footballer. But unlikely to find one.

looks great!
are they waterproof? 100m? 200? would you take a swim with it? not diving, but just general summer beach salt water swim?
(i could google this also)

How do you remove these links?

How do you remove these links?

Genuine lols, and appropriate username!

You need to shove something in the hole and push out in the direction of the arrow. It's a pin that goes through the whole link and the little bump you can see through the hole is what's keeping it in. I struggled to find anything narrow and strong enough but ended up using the end of a screw.

I think it’s under 40mm, and they were NOS cases made originally for Blancpain.

Edit; they were 35mm with lug to lug of 41.5mm.

The sea editions would be super limited

Yes you can but have to wash it with water afterwards much the same as others if salt water swimming

Not sure I would wear a watch anyway going for a swim but you could. Also depends on the depths that you go I guess also.

Is that like a flat c shaped bar at the end?

Rather than pins

Will try that!

Cheers mate. I was trying that but seemed it needed more force that I had assumed (assumption: new system = easier)

Yep. No pins.
