What Omega Speedmaster Professional Moonwatch do you prefer? Plexy or sapphire?

Sapphire - don't like plexi wear and tear

beshannon · 4 October 2016, 04:44 AM

There is only one Moonwatch.

Hestalite!

kearez · 4 October 2016, 05:12 AM

Sapphire myself!

stockae92 · 4 October 2016, 05:24 AM

Hestalite for me please.

I think it fits the heritage of the watch and refinishing it is an easy 5min job.

Lordofrolex · 4 October 2016, 05:26 AM

sapphire

RW16610 · 4 October 2016, 06:30 AM

Although there is only one historically significant for space travel I do prefer the sapphire as well for an everyday watch. I would take either one though because to me the Speedmaster would be the watch in my collection that gets wrist time here and there.

Hesalite for me too.

arcadelt · 4 October 2016, 04:10 PM

Hesalite. I have three, and only once had a scratch back in 2002 that was very easily polished out.

Similar, but less rare I'm afraid. That is actually the Apollo 11 35th Anniversary model, reference 3569.31.

1William · 4 October 2016, 08:33 PM

Sapphire.

strafer_kid · 4 October 2016, 09:24 PM

Whilst sapphire probably has its advantages in terms of durability etc, got to stick with hesalite for originality and likeness to the original!

Bluside · 4 October 2016, 09:42 PM

My wallet voted for the hesalite.

Quicksilver · 4 October 2016, 10:55 PM

Hesalite without hesitation. Gives the dial a much warmer appearance. Scratches are no problem - a few minutes with a Q-Tip and Polywatch and it looks as good as new.

htbilgic · 5 October 2016, 02:48 AM

Hesalite, for sure.

You can simply use any whitening toothpaste to remove tiny scratches on it.

axl911 · 5 October 2016, 02:50 AM

The sapphire has that ugly milky ring at the edge.

shay2nak · 5 October 2016, 02:21 PM

I chose the sapphire.

1) I like the optics of the sapphire better
2) scratch resistance for a daily wearer
3) sapphire caseback

I don't even notice the milky ring around the edge anymore. It just blends it with the watch.

the0thrdude · 7 October 2016, 09:23 AM

Hexalite.
That ring that the sapphire dial has bothers me.

explodingtaco · 7 October 2016, 09:36 PM

For those who don't want scratches on the crystal, I just polywatched my newer SMP and it looks as good as new. The Hexalite has so much more character and it is the REAL moon watch. No other watch I know is so close to a real version of its vintage self!

Rumhead · 8 October 2016, 07:30 AM

Hesalite for me.

botsy · 8 November 2016, 03:43 AM

Went with sapphire for everyday wear.
