NonServiam - very nice. wonderful collection you have.

This is a very real issue, and I would love to see something different on the board

Good point! I should do it for the sake of the forvm!

I actually thought the MUT Moon was slightly more casual in person than I had assumed. But I also link size to formality; bigger being less formal to me. It's just something that's in my head.. I've never had much interest in the RDM and have never handled it, so I can't provide an opinion there.

Let me know when you are in Philly; if you need someone to convince you it's a good idea to purchase both I'll be happy to play the role of devil on your shoulder.
 

I will definitely let you know when I get to Philly. We could pop by Govberg for sure. I don't know if the purchase of both is even remotely in the books though, unfortunately! And interesting observation about the MUT Moon--I guess I always thought my JLC MC could be dressed down fairly easy, but I thought that was mainly attributed to the large bezel.

i am all for asymmetry, but i would stick with the MUTM of the two. i think it has a nicer look imo.

Yes, I definitely think the MUT Moon is more classic and objectively more appealing. But there is something about the RDM that I always found charming. I think I prefer the former version and its quirkiness, but the latter definitely has its charms. The new case is glorious.

well then, IT IS TIME TO BUY!

Also, to continue the theme: Speedy Pro and Halibut... not quite its natural environment!

Hah hah, love this pic! Good luck on the hunt, Newcomer! Alas, I believe I am on another hunt. Kind of. I'm half-hoping I don't find a good piece in the secondary market for the sake of my wallet, but the ever-familiar itch is back. Ugh.

Surely the proper companion for a halibut is a SeaMaster?

From a purely selfish and voyeuristic point of view, I'm looking forward to this: considering the level of awesomeness you have accrued from zero in a mere three months, the fact that you described this "itch" elsewhere as a "possible end-game watch", indicates it might be pretty spectacular, and certainly in the eyes of cheap bums like me. So, thanks in advance!

I think the RDM is a very special watch, and will bring more pleasure over the long term than the MUTM. The RDM can also take a tan strap with aplomb, and something the MUTM cannot do.

Hah, mimo, you are such an enabler! That's a compliment, by the way. I guess that goes for a bunch of other SFers, especially the ones posting in this thread.

But for now, ssssh... I'm hunting. Don't want to scare away the prey. If I don't post as often over the next week or so, well, it's because I'm hunting.

Red Sub! God, there's so many watches that I want.

Looks hawt on that NATO.

Edit: Maybe that's a Zulu. Either way.

Red Sub on NATO is about as cool a "one watch" as I can imagine. Nice one sir!
