The 3861 is just lovely in the flesh especially under good lighting where you can see the dial details. It's so much better looking in person. Pictures don't do it justice
I am glad I was able to pick up a new old stock of an 1863 Speedmaster. I had thought about buying another Hesalite model to replace the one I sold a while ago. And I was trying to find a new one because I didn’t want to buy used. A place I know had a few stock of the discontinued models 1861 and 1863 left. After a while I went to check with them and the 1861 hesalites were all sold out, and I decided to look into the 1863 Sapphire Sandwich instead. The store owner said he only had one 1863 sapphire left, but it was on hold for another client. A day later the owner phoned me and told me the client wasn’t sure if he wanted and was still thinking about it, but it was available if I wanted it and it was the last one. So I went ahead and got it with no regrets. I’m actually liking the Sapphire Sandwich more than the hesalite. I love seeing the 1863 movement and I don’t have to worry about scratches neither. In my opinion, the previous discontinued models look nicer and more classic than the new models. Plus at retail the price is cheaper compared to the new Speedmasters. The store owner even told me as soon as his store got more stock of the discontinued 1861 and 1863 models, people were going crazy and buying them, and they were selling fast. My advice is if you want a Speedmaster discontinued 1861 or 1863 and can find a new one in stock with retail price, pick it up!!! They are hard to find now in new old stock if that matters. Also I had a few hesalites in the past, but this is my first sapphire ever and I love it! It’s a keeper now!
Hesalite with solid caseback and all brushed bracelet looks very much a tool watch just Beautiful for daily wear.. If you're OC about scratches on the hesalite just put a 0.50 cents super thin 0.1mm soft self healing TPU film. It's invisible and no more scratches.
How can he not find a authentic omega moon watch at a fair deal? They have them for sale on their website. If he doesn’t want a new one u can buy for for 2-3 k off used. Seems like he is just lying
Sorry, but my English is not so good. Which is the logo printed on the hesalite version? And where is this logo printed? At the end, is more precious the hesalite version or the newest with sapphire? Thank you
Just get the previous model speedy. They’re still low $3K on the secondary market. Yeah the new one is nice with the upgrades but it’s way too much for what it is.
@@jamesk9321 Agreed. Pepsi was a disappointment to me. After seeing it on people's wrists now and then, it got old. Daytonas are true classics, and the Hulk just pops even when you see it everyday.

depends. One is NASA qualified, the other is just a poser for every day life.
@@explorerjlc1743which is NASA qualified
@@explorerjlc1743 You're not an astronaut. Calm down, dude.
Hesalite is the way to go. I have used Polywatch for a long time and and my ‘91 Speedy crystal looks fantastic.
Spend thousans for a watch with plastic no thanks
@@jamied931there are soft invisible super thin TPU films costing less than 0.50 cents no more scratches
@@jamied931you're spending thousands for an inferior time keeper to an apple watch. So having plastic doesn't matter to collectors.
depends. One is NASA qualified, the other is just a poser for every day life.@@jamied931
@@Richard-yy8tn collectors would go for a 321
Mine was £1300 brand new from an authorised dealer
Definitely the real deal. Had it 20 years. Had it repaired once by Omega.
About to get a planet ocean, but it's a good thing the AD ask me to try their moonwatch kept in their bolt.

🧐
Right seems odd lol it’s not a vintage gmt submariner
Get the bulova Lunar moon watch
The Moonwatch at £4K RRP would be the 1821 Calibre not the current 3821 and the new Moonwatch has a far superior bracelet to the old pre 2020 model.
Grey market is below retail - what is crazy about that?!
Sorry, but my English is not so good. Which is the logo printed on the hesalite version? And where is this logo printed?
At the end, is more precious the hesalite version or the newest with sapphire?
Thank you
Yes the hesalite version. The entire dial is printed on both watches with the exception of the logo on the sapphire sandwich.
depends. One is NASA qualified, the other is just a poser for every day life.
@@explorerjlc1743You sound like a broken record. How about you grow up and let people enjoy whatever they like ;)
Hayek needs cash and he’s milking his cows… 😂😂
I know it can be polished but Hesalite scratches by giving it a stern look. I guess tne Moonswatch got that detail right lol.
They're £150 to replace professionally,don't buy a 6k watch if ye can't afford the new bezel or casing glass/plastic

Of course not. It's fair market value. Try making one yourself
As iconic as it is, it's pretty underwhelming once you get your hands on it.
True of a lot of pieces unfortunately. It's the whole "having not being as pleasing as wanting."
Have to disagree on this one. It looks way better in person.
@@LandStrife Ah yes. I totally put my opinion out here without even knowing what it looks like in person.
@@jamesk9321 Agreed. Pepsi was a disappointment to me. After seeing it on people's wrists now and then, it got old. Daytonas are true classics, and the Hulk just pops even when you see it everyday.
This is true. I bought one and sold it because I found myself not wearing for weeks in rotation. I guess to each his own.
Moonwatch is a rip off now at retail.
hesalite is plastic just say it
