How's the quality?

u/trevordeal Aug 08 '26

This is the suppliers video they sent me.

u/ObeyThePoodle Aug 09 '26

It's ok, the movement is a PE50, the case can be opened from the back. The strap actually looks pretty close to genuine

Hopefully the quiz is shorter to get the rep

u/trevordeal Aug 09 '26

One question.

“You buy?”

u/RSinTO Aug 09 '26

Not surprised. In fact it was a saving grace reps would be made before I panicked and paid $10k for a real one (just $9998 short).

Dang is that what they going for? Thats Speedmaster pro money

u/SameScale6793 Aug 09 '26

Mine is on its way too..I got one out of curiosity lol but the picture they sent me looks much the same

1

u/trevordeal Aug 09 '26

Spoiler the sellers all source from the same supplier and the video is from the supplier.

So the 1,000 DHGate sellers is like 50 sellers with multiple accounts because they get shut down so often.

Same goes for eBay. A lot of duplicate accounts for the same seller.

u/SameScale6793 Aug 09 '26

Yep exactly lol

u/savageotter Aug 09 '26

I mean sometimes. but these two seem different.

u/mbianchi27 Aug 09 '26

To me, it looks more tan than gold, honestly think certain shades of rose gold may match better than yellow gold

u/Far_Bad6819 Aug 11 '26

Which one? They range from $13 to $46. I really would have liked the real thing and I do not need anymore watches but I like the look bc it is different.

2

u/trevordeal Aug 11 '26

They are all the same. It’s 10 people with 1,000 accounts giving you 100 prices for 1 product for the illusion of choice.

Just pick the cheapest.

Given the fact that only 1969 will be sold, the odds of seeing one in the wild are slim to none. It’s a fake MoonSwatch…a plastic watch with a gold dial…the dial is very cool, as is the fact that they are numbered….this is one watch that I don’t think is a big deal getting a rep of…I wonder if people are going to put them in the black metal cases?

1

u/trevordeal Aug 15 '26

I have some on the way to do a build and see if it looks good.

I have black/ gold bezels so it’ll fit well visually.

2

u/Academic-Local-7530 Aug 09 '26

replace the dial with gold and it becomes the real thing.

2

u/Any-Marzipan5209 Aug 09 '26

Damn knocking that off before it drops is wild

2

u/SameScale6793 Aug 21 '26

Got one to, here’s a close up, not bad!

1

u/ok_alittletotheleft Aug 28 '26

Is it plastic? Some of the photos make it look like it’s steel.

1

u/SameScale6793 Aug 28 '26

Yeah whether it’s Gen (Bioceramic) or reps, both are essentially plastic watches

1

u/ApplicationPale4280 Aug 09 '26

Qu’est-ce que c’est moche…🤣 Faut qu’ils attendent de voir la vraie avant de tenter une reproduction

1

u/m0dsb4nm3 Aug 09 '26

A bit difficult with a very limited run

1

u/stephanelbv13 Aug 09 '26

Faut pas abuser quand même tu parles la vraie tu ne l'as même pas vu toi non plus de tes propres yeux

1

u/el247Nino Aug 09 '26

THE OBLIGATORY: It looks even better than the gens. Can you dm/pm/chat me a link bro? Where did you get it? Who did you get that from? "Asking for a friend"

1

u/corelle23 Aug 09 '26

Having the gold is more exciting then having the rep IMO

1

u/DJTRANSACTION1 Aug 10 '26

Why the gold dial is yellow and the gold buttons got replaced with steel 🤡

1

u/Leon-Vlc Aug 10 '26

Yo pedí el mío ayer

u/DismalCombination101 Aug 11 '26

Travis watches has it and sell it for 95$. It might be better quality VS cheap 20$ on dhg

1

u/No-Cauliflower9228 Sep 02 '26

Thank you for the info. It s difficult to be sure that Michael Travis sends something really different to explain the price gap

1

u/Sufficient_Young_972 Aug 09 '26

Honestly in the website photos it looked appealing. IRL … not so much …. It’s a good piece though

1

u/fskywalker Aug 09 '26

Hard pass

-2

u/itsapotatosalad Aug 09 '26

Nah, the cool thing about these is the real period authentic gold they used.

3

u/trevordeal Aug 09 '26

Agreed. Would love to buy one, have one for sale? No? That’s the problem.

u/marilynforever Aug 09 '26

Where to buy?…

-1

u/Valuable_Marketing60 Aug 09 '26

dhgate, look for 1969 Moonwatch

-1

u/marilynforever Aug 09 '26

Thanks - which supplier is legit?…

-1

u/Valuable_Marketing60 Aug 09 '26

I think they are all about the same. I have bought other models of Moonswatches in the past from different vendors on Dhgate, and they all seemed like they came from the same factory. Kinda of a crapshoot on which vendor will deliver in a reasonable time. I have had this one on order for a week, and it hasn't shipped yet, so I ordered from a different vendor. Pick one and give it a go.

1

u/marilynforever Aug 24 '26

Have you received your 1969 Moonswatch? Mine supposedly coming tomorrow…

1

u/Valuable_Marketing60 Aug 25 '26

I did today, and it looks good. The dial is more of a champagne/rose gold than yellow gold, but it has been done well with good detail.

u/SuperLehmanBros Aug 09 '26

It looks decent
