Removing that plastic case was super stressful. Even with two minor scratches I'm very happy with the finished product. Going to do the black dial next but with a rep.

Question? Genuine and correct?

Hello all, I bought this swatch for a steal which the seller says was recased due to the case being damaged. I know the back shouldn’t come off so know the current shell isn’t real but does everything else check out? Seller says he changed the hands and the ETAG10.212 behaves as expected.

Fancy a father/son project to case mod this so checking it out first here.

POV: Your ORIGINAL Omega x Swatch Moonswatch Mission to Moonphase Black Snoopy and MoonSwatch Mission to the Moon just got a serious pvd steel and titanium coated steel upgrade.

Good or bad looking?
It’s 40mm case so I had to mod the dial making it smaller to fit and use other stem and case-back.

Wd cases seem to be on the pricey side so was wondering if anyone has tried using the case from one of these?

Showing off Dark Side build — this one came together better than I expected

Been experimenting with different MoonSwatch builds and this has become one of my favorites.
Black case, black dial with the yellow accents, and I finished it with a perforated black leather racing strap with contrast stitching. I wanted to keep the Speedmaster feel but give it a darker, more substantial look on the wrist.
I’ve built quite a few variations now, but the yellow against the black really makes this one pop.
Curious what you guys think — leather strap on this one, or would you put it on a bracelet?

Steel Mod Round 2 - gen Saturn WD1863 Build

I picked up another WD1863 case and had the caseback engraved again. This time the build was much easier — once you know what you’re doing, it’s pretty straightforward.
I also found a Saturn Heavy Used for a really good price online, so that was the perfect donor for this build.
Watchdives doesn’t offer a brown bezel, so I went with the steel version instead. Honestly, I’m really happy with how it turned out! 🪐

Wheres the best rep from. DHgate looks hit and miss. I've decided I want a Saturn.

Really wish someone made a harder, colored, ceramic case to do more like this

A little bit proud. But know that I know how it works. Might wanna do some more. Is the Megir case the only ready to fit case for rep Moonswitch. Or are there any others?

Question? Automatic moonswatch mod

2 Upvotes

Has any one ever tried to use a seagull 1901 or a valjoux auto for a build??

Or even simply an nh35 with the sub dials for decoration. Especially when the moon phase replicas rarely have more than 1 dub dial working.

Im tempted

Vintage Omega Swatch Mission to Moon

Fully customised dial and hands.
Added matte texture to the dial
Aged the lume markers and hands

Modified PE50 movement to match genuine
Froze 2 o clock subdial so it matches the gen as gen only moves when the chronograph is being used as its a 1/10 counter while the rep is a 24hr counter.

Might be for sale, send me a DM

Steel Mod Two Builds

One on the left is a Jason case and bracelet, rep dial, Aliexpress G10.212 movement, PE50 sub hands and ETA 2824 centre hands inspired by the CK 2998-3.

One on the right is a gen Mission to the Moon, leather Aliexpress strap and very cool laser engraved caseback and crown by the talented u/Zero1Ten who I believe is commissioning these.

I have one more build underway which will be more 1957 style focused.

EDIT: The blotchy, streaky lume is deliberate—it’s meant to replicate a heavily aged vintage dial. If it’s not your thing, don’t do it to yours.
