Does this mean that (a) it’ll be easier to pick up a Moonswatch in the desired version or (b) those are about to be retired?
I hope it’s the former. I would like one but am not desperate for one - I rarely get chance to visit one of the stores in person and when I have it was either a comedy queue (Oxford Street) or door blocked by two meathead security guards like a dodgy nightclub (Covent Garden).You’re a global manufacturing/marketing company with products in your portfolio ranging from high-end lux to day-to-day utility. You decide to dress up your utility product as a luxury product and charge a price premium and restrict supply…and it sells like hot cakes!
Now imagine if an auto manufacturer did the same…eg: VAG. Would you rush to buy a Polo dressed up as a Bentayga, or a Golf dressed up as a Urus?!

Keen to get your point across by posting on both swatch threads I see!Now imagine if an auto manufacturer did the same…eg: VAG. Would you rush to buy a Polo dressed up as a Bentayga, or a Golf dressed up as a Urus?!
Yeah…didn’t know which thread was most relevant so did both!
A couple of people mentioned the Cygnet but that’s not comparable as it was just a buy-in from another company.
More relevant is the Arbarth Ferrari Tributo mentioned by MontBlanc, being from the same stable (FCA?) and a utility-product wearing high-end badging.
However not totally comparable as it doesn’t have the body of an F430!
From back in the day…what about the Wolseley Hornet?!

Picked up a Mission to the Moon at Paris CDG Airport this week.
this was the only one of the set i wanted, so very pleased when they had it in stock (especially with no queuing/hawkers etc!!).
love the watch, however.. hate the strap! reminds me of the cheap Animal Velcro watch straps i used to use a teenage mountain biker!!
so what straps have others found that work well with the Moon, i am thinking maybe a canvas buckle strap might work? where is the best place to look/buy?

Anyone interested in a mission to sun? I've had it a while and its just not getting worn.
Was purchased brand new by myself from the manchester pop up store, the original strap has never been worn as its too long for me so it comes with a white tropic strap and a white curved ruber strap.
Have pictures i can send. Was thinking £200 delivered.

My son put his Pluto on a black rubber strap, looks really good and is very comfortable.
He bought it from Amazon for about a tenner!
