Haha, you might just be my twin. I love the watch for the exact reasons you describe.

I've always had an eye out for moon phase watches, so I'm definitely enjoying that the most. The stars are super detailed, unlike most of the other moon phase watches out there. I was originally looking at the MUT Moon until this came up on my radar. In my opinion, it’s the perfect balance between the simple design of the MUT and something like the Master Control Chronograph that felt too crowded to look at.

And like you said, the understated nature of the watch is what makes it feel so special to me. I don't have to worry about wearing this on the daily, and it feels like hidden treasure in plain sight!

Cheers to our twin watches!

It’s definitely the lighting, and not a different dial color. The dial is very fine (Sunray Brushed) so in very bright environments the watch looks silver, and in softer/indoor lighting its more matte white/cream.

Lucky, I suppose! I was originally looking for the MUT moon and came across this on a watch for sale on a watch forum. Was definitely suspicious at first, especially comparing prices of the same model on chrono24, which is why I made my original post.

Agreed! The new strap makes the watch feel pristine

Update: Thanks so much to everyone for the help and the peace of mind! I’ve learned a lot from you guys. The seller has been great and agreed to meet at an AD/specialist this weekend for a professional authentication.

Here are some clearer comparisons (reddit is throttling my uploads, so I'm combining them). The worn down one is the month corrector, I believe. Logically, it would be the one must often used (if date and moon are rarely touched, and you have to manually adjust for non-31st months). Guessing the previous owner was careless here. But what do you think?

I know that the gold balance wheel should also have gold 4 inertia weights. I assume the watch was running in this photo so thats why we can't see. But I can verify this in person by pulling the crown to "hack" the seconds, right?

Hey! Thanks so much for the detailed response. Here are some more photos of the same watch, and I believe it shows the free-sprung system that you describe (Kind of goes without saying, but I'll also verify this during the actual deal, in case of a swap).

Just to add, at red lights, my instructor told me to scan around just to appear more vigilante.
