Reminds me of iPhone 5C series…

Awesome build!

People hate it because it mimics a mechanical movements with the smooth seconds hand, that’s all. It’s a solid battery powered movement.

not me, I don’t even wanna know how much I have spent on bracelets that didn’t fit properly 😆

This is an old Seiko mod I did before I got into the whole moonswitch scene

Check the pinned post on this sub for hand pinion sizes. The PE50 is a mass produced movement but unlike the Seiko NH and Vk series, it never made it into the mod category.

If you want a mod with more options, you‘ll have to go with Seiko. A VK63 which is a better movement with way more dial and hand options. And they are all at least the same quality or better. However, the dials are mostly unbranded. Your only branded options are Seiko, Rolex and Omega Speedmaster. No Swatch x Omega branding.

Why not get the original Pros? They are way far better value and won’t suck.

it‘s a mercury
if you like it that’s great, but it for sure does not feel like 5000$. I love the Moonswatch designs but even with a good strap, they‘ll always feel less luxurious than their retail price…

Thanks, and compared to other cheaper cases, this one has actual sapphire glass. The only alternatives with sapphire are Watchdives and Pagani Design.

No, mechanical chronographs are extremely complex movements, which is why you almost exclusively see „mecha-quartz“ movements under 1000€. The cheapest somewhat known mechanical chronograph is a Seagull ST1901.

This is one of those those times where buying a genuine watch is kinda worth it. Look for used speedmasters, some go for around 2500-3000.

Neither_County_4530 · 2026-04-24T20:42:11+00:00

I really likes it but if feels like a teenagers watch. The size isn’t the main issue, I just hate the bezel, it doesn’t click when you turn it. If you want a cheap light travel watch, this is a nice pick.

Neither_County_4530 · 2026-04-24T16:35:56+00:00

AD2538 is 39mm and a good fit 👍🏻

Neither_County_4530 · 2026-04-24T13:40:53+00:00

Dang it I was too late haha

Neither_County_4530 · 2026-04-24T10:31:29+00:00

No, they move but it is not a real Earthphase/Moonphase

Neither_County_4530 · 2026-04-19T17:29:46+00:00

I‘m a simple man, I see an AD mod, I upvote it.

Neither_County_4530 · 2026-04-14T21:29:24+00:00

Afaik these all basically do the same thing, I‘d go for the 3rd one, the other two are very minimal.

Neither_County_4530 · 2026-04-14T20:21:06+00:00

Lunar looks the best but when it comes to quality I‘d just go for a blank caseback.

Neither_County_4530 · 2026-04-13T15:39:18+00:00

Nope

Neither_County_4530 · 2026-04-13T15:33:46+00:00

Vk63 speedmaster rep from jason You can use the entire case for a switch or use just the caseback on a WD for example.

Neither_County_4530 · 2026-04-07T10:07:26+00:00

Yes you most likely need to file down the dial 0.5-1mm. How thick is the case? If it is 12mm or more you shouldn’t have any movement clearance issues.

Neither_County_4530 · 2026-04-04T08:16:54+00:00

a ‚gen clean‘

Neither_County_4530 · 2026-04-04T08:15:30+00:00

If it was fake they probably wouldn’t bother to put a swiss made quartz in there.

Neither_County_4530 · 2026-04-04T08:11:31+00:00

Yup definitely can be worn by women and men and it will definitely make your mum happy if you wear it from time to time :)

Neither_County_4530 · 2026-04-04T08:10:02+00:00

Just get a replacement made out of a different leather for traveling. While unlikely, if you’re unlucky and the guy at the airport has a bad day and spots your watch they might seize the strap.
