r/MoonSwatches

The orange rubber strap is so cool !!

Picked up a Mission to Jupiter at Swatch Covent Garden yay!! Was never the biggest fan of the original straps on the moonswatches so picked up this bisonstrap off amazon for about £15 and I'm so happy with how it looks!

I was on the fence about a Moonswatch and finally pulled the trigger. The stock band is indeed a bit rough, but i don’t hate it as much as I expected to. :)

Welcome to the Collection Mission to Jupiter

Hi Everyone I wanted to share my collection so far with u guys and get ur opinion on how it’s looking. I absolutely love the moon swatches mainly because of how light on the wrist they are. I’m in healthcare and i value the feeling of lightness on my wrist but with the right amount of style. The next moon swatch i want to pick up is the all black moonphase snoopy, which i think will round out my collection well.

Here is my collection

Seem like there improved Reps that fixes the some of the obvious indicator of being fakes

1. Strap 6 stitches to 5 stitches, still the quality of the stitching is bad still.
2. Wonky Font printing of the TACHYMETRE on the bezel, no more slanted T/E

Some of the things that still usable to identify reps (mostly the back)

1. The chrono system linking to the 2 o'clock subdial
2. The rear debossed wording
3. The crown and the buttons shape
4. The imprint on the lugs space

the above is things that can be check with the unit alone, no need to have another legit on hand to able to differentiate

Others like the testure of the Bioceramic material, the strap material would require side by side compare to see the difference. For now there is still point to be used to ID, and most probably stay for some time, since making a newer tooling is a substantial cost for what they are doing

I was on a business trip in a city with a Swatch boutique and my wife and I stopped in to see what was available. I considered a Saturn, Neptune or Earth Phase but loved the New Moon and then saw the Ocean of Storms also available and decided on the pair. Not very colorful but a very handsome set in my opinion. Thanks for sharing your pics and knowledge!

Finally can post here! Recently got back from a trip to Japan and first pick was this mission to Saturn 🤩

Best and most unique of the lineup(imo)

Been looking for a replacement strap for ages. Finally had one custom made.

Thanks to the Mission to Mercury, which I bought about 2.5 years ago, I have morphed into a neurotic watch collector and dream about watches in my sleep. Clearly centering the watch in the picture was not a priority at the time.

Second pic is unrelated but it’s a UV shot of the mission to moonphase - new moon. Sadly my phone camera is struggling so that’s the best shot I could get of it.
