jsw Posted October 12, 2006 Report Share Posted October 12, 2006 Hi, I'm considering purchasing the Omega moonwatch from silix. I'm aware of the hybrid nature of this watch, but I'm curious to know whether the second hand on the rep functions in the same way as the original (I'm not sure whether it is a sub dial on the original or not)? Also, does anyone have any general comments on this watch that I should be aware of? Thanks, James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

retep Posted October 12, 2006 Report Share Posted October 12, 2006 Actually I think the 6:00 subdial mimics the hour hand, and is not a part of the chrono. You are correct, thats why some of the members here freeze the 6 `o clock sub dial Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken Thanks - That's interesting, so the six oclock dial works as the original and not as an hour marker as described here? EDIT: Okay have seen other replys. So which is the second hand, the large hand on the clock or one of the sub dials? James Edited October 12, 2006 by jsw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vric Posted October 12, 2006 Report Share Posted October 12, 2006 So which is the second hand, the large hand on the clock or one of the sub dials? James Like every chrono watch, rep or genuine, it's subdials. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpala96 Posted October 12, 2006 Report Share Posted October 12, 2006 Like every chrono watch, rep or genuine, it's subdials. The seconds are on the 9 clock sub dial. Yes, the sub dial at your 6 does follow the hour hand. I just got this watch yesterday and it is awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

retep Posted October 12, 2006 Report Share Posted October 12, 2006 I bought the one from the picture from El a couple off months ago it`s the one with the domed hesalite crystal like the original and the accent grave on the e of tachymetre. Maybe he can still obtain these. I added pictures so you can see for yourself wich is closer.

baltic Posted October 12, 2006 Report Share Posted October 12, 2006 I can really recommend this watch, In fact I liked the rep so much I went and bought the gen! The running seconds hand is at 9, the chrono minute repeater is at 3, the chronos second hand is the large centre one and the sub-dial at 6 merely tracks the hour hand. I got this 6 o'clock subdial frozen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jsw Posted October 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2006 Many thanks for all the advise. retep - Thanks for the photo comparison, I think I prefer the smaller silix one. baltic - I saw your post in the photo forum, I'm looking forward to your gen-rep comparison. Out of interest which rep did you own? James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
