Because of your black airking: no. Why not trade it for an explorer II? It will fit perfectly in you line up and an white dial is stunning.. But black also!
The current ExII is super comfy and slid as a rock! Good luck |

Keep the Moonwatch and save up for the Explorer.
The Moonwatch has an unmatched history with space/moon missions. You'll grow to love it with time. A true timeless classic!

Keep your moonwatch and buy another Rolex in the future if you want another one.

If you're a collector, you should have a moonwatch ....... No question....one of the most iconic watches out there.
Obviously, you then need a Sub, GMT, Explorer, Daytona..... This list goes on and on and on...... |

Absolutely love mine - I would keep the moonwatch, no question. Too iconic a watch. Only if it were a Rolex that is not readily avail anymore would I reconsider. But only you can decide .....

The only thing that matters is if you're happy, if the Moonwatch isn't making you happy then you can always sell it and find another one... Honestly I don't think the Speedmaster or the Explorer are going to be tough watches to find. If you like the explorer go for it!

Nothing wrong with your Moonwatch. It's a classic and a "must have" if you collect Omega. I have one and wouldn't trade it.

Omega Speedmaster Professional. It was selected by NASA as the official watch for their Astronauts, although many wore Rolex as well.

I started out collecting Omega's and the 3570 speedy was my first Omega... Then I switched over to the darrrrrrk side of the crown! I still wish I would have kept the speedy... But! I wouldnt go out and buy one, again... Rather use the funds on the exp2 42mil when in comes out soon!
So, my answer is if you already have the speedy keep it, and just save up for a Exp. |
