I found the MoonSWatch fairly delicate (crystal, plastic case) but its better to beat up than a speedy, so I bought a spare mission to the moon one for when my current one gets too banged up, lol I hope you bought it at the Swatch boutique and didn't pay those stupid secondary market prices! Yeah my Mission to Mars is already pretty scratched up by now. But scratches mean my nicer pieces didn't get scratched, so I don't mind it at all. I bought it to get banged up after all. the_pika posted... @winged_weltall I would avoid those. They are notoriously expensive to service, as they use an awkward modular chronograph movement instead of a fully integrated one (like the 1861/3 or 3861). It's basically an ETA2824 with a module placed on top, which is why if you look at the side of the case, the pushers aren't in line with the crown. Other things are the dial is of a lesser quality, with the subdials not having any depth like on other Speedmaster counterparts. If you want a smaller case Speedmaster, then either go for the Speedmaster FOIS (first Omega in Space) which comes in a 39mm case, vs the 42mm Moonwatch case. Or go for the ref 3594.50, which was a broad arrow re-issue from the 90s and 2000s with the 39mm case and 1861 movement. The 3594.50 Speedmaster Professionals are the biggest manual wind Speedmaster value props you can find at the moment. They are very slept on! You're likely to spend maybe a grand more than a reduced, but you're getting a lot more value and a cheaper movement to service in the future. https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/5/6/4/AAMtjIAAEOZs.jpg ...
