Do you think I should keep my Speedmaster from the moon to mars or sell it in order to buy a "classical" Speedmaster Moonwatch?

(pic from the web because I do not have a good pic of my own watch).

Thank you for your kind advices.

I've never been a fan of the M2M but the decision is yours.

I suggest you just consider a simple dial change.

I've seen that watch in real life, and it's not for me... I prefer the classic 3570.

Personally them colours on the dial would drive me nuts

Go for the classic!

I have the Classic Moon watch. Personally I like mine alot however yours is more 'exclusive'. Perhaps you can hunt for a dial to replace yours like what Father said. Bear in mind that the movement is identical (1861) in both watches if I recall correctly. Therefore it is only a cosmetic difference really!

A simple change of dial seems to be the best option. Best of both worlds

I moon watch dial shouldn't be too hard to source. Good luck

but if he is going to keep it a classic then might as well sell the M2M for more money and keep the extra when buying the new watch. unless you want the option of going back and forth

Ed911 · 13 August 2011, 03:47 PM

Thank you for the ideas. It is clear now :-)

Personally I would much rather have the classic all black dial too.

Your watch is a complete keeper. Its relatively rare, and 20 years from now it will be one of those highly desired but hard to find watches-like a red sub.

Keep it or sell it to me cheaply.

I've seen both watches in person and I suggest to keep this one for now and save for a classic Speedmaster as well. Both are good looking watches

Speedmaster pro. All the way
