I don't like the design or appearance.

Hey Eugene! I saw it in person and really liked it. I have smaller wrists so I like the size, and the bracelet seemed different from the one on the speedy pro. I liked it because it’s a different Speedmaster. I was lusting after it for weeks, and now that I look back on it, one thing that I remember is that it is flashier/shinier than the moonwatch. But I mean it’s definitely a nice watch. Too bad there aren’t many good video reviews on it online. The few that I found were of poor quality and didn’t show the watch up close too much. |

Not a fan of chronograph watches. However, if I was, this Omega is nice.

I like it and as my manual Speedmaster is such a pain to wind I can see the attraction of an automatic.

Speedmaster 38
I tried on the ice blue dial one back in January. To be honest, I didn't know this watch existed, and I was quite impressed with it. Ultimately, I didn't get it at that time, but I've been thinking about it a lot since...I think as the year goes on, there's a fair chance that I'll pick it up. The bracelet was really nice, and it has 100m WR, which is impressive for a speedy. Nice vintage vibe...but the box is overly feminine, smaller with a big red bow.
I'll see if I can find a pic of it for you to see a non stock photo. |

I think the bracelet is more like the presidential bracelet by Rolex yeah ? Where the bracelet on the moonwatch is more like an oyster |

The 38 doesn't have a typical elongated clasp but has a twin trigger locking system. Neat little seahorse on it too. Speedy Pro has a more elongated clasp, similar to an oyster bracelet. The 38 bracelet has PCLs and is a bit more blingy, but not quite to the extent I'd say of Rolex PCLs. Speedy Pro just has two lines of polish. Does that answer your question? |

Overall look is good.
Two things that don’t work for me 1)date complication on a Chrono 2)co-axial movement thickness.
