Thanks so much for watching guys! Please don't forget to like and subscribe! I very much appreciate it!

The replicas are hit and miss. They're cheap though so they're good for customising. I mixed a Mission to Mars replica and a Mission to Mercury replica to make my own custom Moonswatch.

I got a clone too. A 50 bucks in Vietnam. Got a steel caseback and sapphire crystal. Details are very crisp. Honestly speaking much better value than the real

You can correct the alignment on the Chronograph by pulling the crown then pushing the chrono hand forward manually with the top button to set a new Zero point. Once it's set to the 12 position, push the crown back in and it's perfectly aligned with a new zero. It's not an issue with the movement, it's just an issue with the factory not setting it correctly. All quartz chronos have this feature.

Second hand sweep is better on the fake.

After watching your real vs fake video, somehow I have the feeling that the REAL Moon Watch probably cost less than $20 to make.

Honestly with some of them having metal cases and easily removable backs, the fakes may very well last longer than the originals

Almost embarrassed to say I bought the original Mission to Uranus, loved the colour scheme and would be a great summer watch. Unfortunately, the truth is it was trash, so much so that I doubt a fake one would be much worse and might even be better. I did sell mine to a friend not at a profit, I was glad as the top pusher fell off it in the street and it's gone. He has a warranty claim going on now. I tried to dissuade him from buying it, but he didn't listen. Anyway I was sorely disappointed that I didn't have that summer watch look I wanted until I saw an Instagram ad for a homage made in China from 316l stainless steel, with a sapphire crystal, 100m water resistance, screw down crown, and a high quality Seiko mecaquartz movement and all for around $100 equivalent including import tax. Got it three days ago, and I love it. Great quality finish, bracelet wasn't great, a bit sharp at the link edges but a bit of 320 grade emery paper soon fixed it. They even provided a free NATO if you didn't like the bracelet. I have a 25 watch collection, including the Seamaster, and this hundred dollar watch is already a favourite. I know some watch snobs might look down on this watch but there's no reason to. It doesn't claim to be an Omega and will never be confused for being a Moonswatch, it's just much better quality. Maybe it's what Omega should have made themselves. I would advise, don't buy any of the plastic ones if you have a 100 dollars, buy mine instead. Anyway excuse the long comment. Excellent video. Subscribed.

So what's the current status of both watches in Jan of 2024? Have both lasted? Long term ownership would be interesting to know about (if you still even own either).

You know, I would be more than happy to own a real one at retail price...

I just got one of these from DHGate, and it feels so substantial! It does feel like metal!

Your Mission to the Moon's chrono hand seems to be aligning better compared to your initial video with the slight misalignment. Did you manage to fix it or is this another model?

I have two watches branded ‘Dannilu’ the sub dial on the right like the fake you seem to have is not part of the chronograph but a 24 hour indicator. Agin the ones I have have a removable back.

Do you think you could swap out the movement (on the rep) with a VK64?

Fake is a better long term investment

I got one of these replica from China, It's ease to tell is not the original by looking at the Chrono second hand movement, because of the movement inside, the second hand is moving at 1/3 second against the 1 second on the original and the small dial on the 2 o'clock position is actually a 24 hours indicator so it cannot be reset ( the original is a 1/10 second indicator)! But overall it's not a bad deal, considering at such price tag!

Thank you for this. One large improvement I'd make to your video is to point out which is the real one and the fake one as you go through the video. I know you SAID it at the beginning, but once getting into the video, I lose track. A little screen text with an arrow would have been helpful. Also, at 10:40, you mention "the 44mm version." Is that the real or the fake? See what I mean?

Does anyone have a link to a good rep? Looking on Ali ex and all I can find are reps without the correct band

where did you buy your imitation/replica?

How did you find it

Great work :)

Great video. 👍

I have one given to me as a gift.. Mission to the moon..as what youve said bro,it is pretty impressive..much heavier than i expected on a plastic case..

I like the fake version better. Honestly, some could say that the MoonSwatch is sort of a fake of the Moon watch. I’m not a fan of plastic watches but buy what you like 😎!

Pretty ironic that the fake is better in some respects. But then with the swatch, that isn't such a high bar. Thanks for the video.

I just got a replica and it's shockingly more similar now compared to the actual one. We are still able to open the back but the writings are similar to the actual one now

Correct, this is the steel caseback fake China watch. They’ve had this in production a long time and have simply repurposed it for the OXS fakes. There are also a few other fakes in plastic out there as well.

Where to buy

How does one search for such an item?

With the glass crystal and the smoother sweep of the chronograph seconds hand, I would take the fake over the real one any day. Especially with the price and availability difference!

Can you link the ebay listing? Want to avoid getting a fake.

I wonder if they were already producing a similar case and just carried it over.

The easiest way to see fake is looking at small white arrow on second hand in 12oclock position. On the real swatch the arrow iis on the Omega name but on the fake that same arrow is on the Swatch name under the Omega name in the 12oclock position.

min 2:47 - compare the spacing of the blue letter S after Moon

I got a real mission to earth, not working anymore!😢 Any ideas ? I changed the battery….nothing

Nobody would care about fake moonswatches if originals were sold for 100$. I think Swatch group may succeeded in promoting Speedmaster to the masses but they didn't in the right price.

Sunon chinese movement?

Link where to get the fake

Sorres, pls enlighten. Why did the fake watch fade away in the dark??? What materiel did they use?

This is actually an aluminum cased replica, I got the same one for 28$ in aliexpress

The fake I got is almost identical to a real one, the only give away instead of the seconds hand does smaller ticks, like half seconds, where as the real does full seconds. But I mean to say side by side the are exactly the same, better than any fake I seen on KZfaq. Box look genuine too with fake documentation the looks exact except for the little booklet showing all the range, it print is off colour slightly, but everything else is spot on It's crazy one cost 360 euro the other 35 euro. And if it wasn't for those 2 details I would have thought the fake was actually a genuine one I got sent by mistake

The biggest difference between a fake and a real one is look at the sub-dial at the 2 o’clock position when the chrono is running. On the real one the dial shows 1/10 second (one revolution per second). On the fake it doesn’t run as it’s an am/pm indicator. So when you zero the chrono the dial doesn’t reset.

What are the keywords to search for it?

I’m only interested in the mission to Uranus.

I bought Mission to Neptune for around 100$ on Etsy. Without a box. It looks really genuine. The letters on the case are stamped, not printed. The battery replacement is on the photo of the planet, it's not integrated with whole the case. The ONLY thing that makes me thinks is the chronograph... It doesn't work like second-after-second but the movement is fluent. But resetting is quick as in the genuine. What do you think?

I've been banned from a FB group for saying everything you said on your video 🤣

Can you give a link in Ali

Best test is start the chrono. In original hand run second by second

The small 1/10 second dial at the 2:00 position on the fake is a 24-hour dial and didn't reset. Easy way to tell on the fake!

Link of the fake one please🙏🏻

link?

Why didn’t you open the case on the real one to compare? Also the movement on the second hand mimics the movement on an automatic vs the real one is quartz movement. On mine, open the battery cover and you’ll find a decoy battery. The real battery is underneath, you’ll see it when you open the case back. I never would have bought it had I known.

Could you name the shop, the bought the replica from? Would be super helpful!!

Size difference is probably because they used the cheaper movement.. and adapted everything around it

I really hope the one I bought on StockX is legit.

One thing that is. CRAZY OBVIOUS. Is the right dial function . the authentic. Has a 1/10 sec. And Fake have 24h. Thats why on the authentic. The 2 hans of the function dials are facing up. And Fake. You cant since it is always in movement 24h

This has gotta be one of the first ever times in watchmaking where the fake watch is better than the real deal, how embarrassing for Swatch

So many sites have been saying the Quality of the fakes are pretty decent and almost better, almost

Sellers should get fine for Not displaying acknowledgement about being fake

Fake one is using mechaquartz probably vk64. The 2:00 dial on the fake one is actually a 24hr military time.

Until I can get a real one, I’ll buy a few fake ones to hold me over a year or two or three!

The fake sounds so much better. I wonder if the DanniLu is a better built version

I am sorry but i prefer the cheap and fake one than the ORIGINAL MOONSWATCH because i can open the watch to repair or to change the movement when or if it fails BUT that you cant do it on a MOONSWATCH WATCH or on any SWATCH because they are sealed you only can change the battery. AND I CAN HAVE THE 11 fakes for a price of only ONE REAL Mooswatch yes 275 diveded 11 only 25 U$S each fake watch

No thanks, i only buy chronographs with a crazy split second sub dial when i start the chrono function. I love seeing that hand go around at 1/10 of a second. I guess most people don't know about that because they just eat up vk63 type movements. But its meca-quartz!! So it doesn't matter which half the thing is useless

Got the entire MoonSwatch set of 11 watches for under $32. each. IMO why pay premium $ for junk when you can have basically the same watch for an 1/8th of the price. Junk is junk I prefer to pay less for junk specially when I know both are junk......lol.

just bought a fake one by accident. i own six beautiful real watches, but don’t want to go traipsing around mexico with even one. figured swatch were cheap shitty watches so bought the neptune online. didn’t realize swatch had this retail only bullshit marketing promo. anyway, my knock off of a (let’s face it) knock off arrives soon. gonna be cool having a piece of junk on my arm! and thanks for the vid. much appreciated.

I have a metal copy it's bloody good!!!!!!

Nice 🌜🌛

Just get the Pegani design speedy for about $100

Imagine something more interesting. Buy the replica, pull out its dial and movement and put it on a metal case within its dimensions. How cool can that be??

I’m concerned this might get a copyright strike. We aren’t talking homage here. I won’t tell, but there is a Karen in every bunch.

Fake is good. ❤❤

Cris the real moon swatch is a fake speedmaster DUh the fake will kill speadmaster swatch the movement is not fixable.DUH Real glass on fake?

If you don’t know which one is the real one to begin with, you might mistaken the fake one to be the real one because of the glass, the heavier case, the metal, and the better strap 😂

Only the original 🔥

The fake is biggee therefore heavier. Makes sense. But being its not the actual size does not make it a good fake imo.

Anyone contact? 😅 thanks in advance

Fuck, just brought mine from switch, wished I knew before spending out on full plastic 😮

Anyone got an up to date replica seller ?

If they’ll fake a $20 F91W, I guess they’ll fake a MS 😂😂😂😂

Weird how copy seems nice than the genuine and costs 20%.

I wonder the percentage of the people trashing the real watch who actually have owned one

Fake is really better

Don't buy fake watches from China or turkey. Only buy masterpiece watches from that swiss guy (the name of the page in the comment). First they will last forever second you can't tell if they are fake and best part you can sell them as original. Only bad thing is you need to go on the waiting list first but hey it's worth it.

Buy the fake one it’s 30 bucks wear it til it breaks

The Moon swatch is no longer available so if you want one I guess the fake is the way to go. If you can find one.

I'd rather purchase the fake one, at least it's worth of all its money, and the real one - not.

I finally got a real moonswatch today. I bought a $100 copy about a year ago & I is so accurate, only the packaging and the sweep second hand give it away. I a way, I think the copy is better & probably has a better movement. It would be great if I could attach photos.

To all fake lovers here, how can a fake be better than the OG, show us!

You got the cheap $15 fake. Theres a better one with recessed subdials for $30.

Higher on the fake lol

Fake of a fake.

Moonswatch can ggf

Great stuff.. I have a few samples looking to sell them, if anyone is interest reach me out

Aluminum

You can tell uts fake by the 24 hour Dial at 3 o'clock

u tytyy

Crap verse crap

Thats a really low quality fake. $20 😆

The real or the fake are both crap IMHO 😀😀
