space Posted June 16, 2006 Report Share Posted June 16, 2006 Spotted a watch on the subway yesterday, that really looked like a black dial speedmaster. Didn't manage see the omegalogo or OMEGA written. Didn't have my glasses on, and the minute hand was near 12 o'clock... What I DID see was this: -It was not a broad arrow, as the hands were sleek like the ones on the moon watch. -no date window -nine o'clock subdial was doing the seconds -the long, what I belive is the second hand, was just "camping" at 12 o'clock. -Looked well used I started wondering if the real watch has the seconds at nine o'clock, was it some sort of rip-off speedmaster design watch, or was it just a bad rep?

vric Posted June 16, 2006 Report Share Posted June 16, 2006 (edited) Google image search: moonwatch Result: so yes, the second is at 9. Edited June 16, 2006 by vric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
space Posted June 16, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2006 (edited) Google image search: moonwatch Result: so yes, the second is at 9. But what about this one: Picture is of the original. Looks like the seconds is on the big dial on this one? BTW: I'm pretty shure the one you posted is the one I spotted. Nice for him... Great watch.

marrickvilleboy Posted June 17, 2006 Report Share Posted June 17, 2006 @ Space, The Handwind Moonwatch has running seconds at 9 o'clock. The Automatic Moonwatch has running seconds at 3 o'clock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cony212 Posted June 17, 2006 Report Share Posted June 17, 2006 (edited) Space - the pic you posted of the white dial Speedmaster is with the seconds at 9 o'clock as well - it is only like that in the pic because it is an official pic from Omega and they did not want to block the Omega logo and wording (all watch makers do this) Another example from the Omega site Edited June 17, 2006 by cony212 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
