docdoc Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 My question gonna sound super stupid but as english is not my tongue language I wonder what faux chrono means (I read it a lot on snoopy moonwatch rep.) ? Does that means that you get the flavor of the chrono but without a fonctional chrono in fact. Means that when you push the upper button of the speedmaster moonwatch nothing happens ? And by the way there is no good replica of the snoopy moonwatch out there, it is a fact. But what's the difference between the 42 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fitmic Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 You are correct. The chronos are not functional. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andreww Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 Not really non functional. Generally one subdial will record days (either mon-sunday or sometimes 1-7). Second subdial will indicate date (1-31), and the third subdial will be a 24 hour clock. The date functions are set via the pushers. (but they do advance automatically).

Anyway thanks for the very fast answer. Any opinion about the snoopy replica ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abat Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 Snoopy is one of my all time favourite watches. It makes so many people do a double-take it's ace. Sadly I couldn't find a decent rep when I looked, I ended up buying a Moon to Mars instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am really hesitating when I see the poor quality of the snoopy replica compare to the moonwatch "original". But speaking about the "original" I wonder why it is really hard to find the model with the historical back instead of the transparent one ?
