Do a search, there is some info here from others.

You may want to contact Greg AKA Mosco as he does/did used
to sell quite a few of them!!

I was tempted a couple times but they are just large for my smaller wrists.

Not a fan. Too gimmicky, gawdy, tacky, and downright expensive for what they are. Imho, there's a lot more interesting pieces in the price range from more respected makers.

So just to be clear, you like them or not?












They're definitely a matter of taste. I am not a huge fan of the Titanic models (for myself), but the Moon Dust is pretty damn cool.

Not a fan at all, but I'm also from the camp that says "to each his own" so if you like it, go for it. That said, for the money I think you're buying a lot of BS. Do you really need a watch with moon dust or a watch made from a piece of the Titanic? Probably not, but again, if it's your style, go for it.

They reached for the moon and their marketing campaign went down like the Titanic.
