    Mooophase complication looks amazing, shame its 44mm, just too big for me personally. I'd be tempted at 40mm or even 42mm.

    I absolutely love it. The crowded dial looks good in my eye and the moon phase looks gorgeous. However, as most people seem to be saying, the size is just too much and of course the price is up there too. But it's the perfect blue and I'm glad it's got the matching bezel.

    This is turning into a late 70's album release, six different coloured vinyls and and a picture disc...

    I thought this was a specific blue dial edition, but in the last few days I have seen pictures of a black dial and black bezel and platinum dial and red bezel (in Jocke's Baselworld report) and elsewhere another light dial and racing green with gold infill on the bezel.

    If this is going to be the sweet shop edition in all colours of the rainbow I think I will pass.

    Does anyone know what the hell Omega are playing at. I was seriously interested, but this is turning into a joke.

    You've got it all wrong. When One Particular Manufacturer does multiple colours of the same watch, they get bagged on by people at Baselworld and beyond. When Omega does it, fantastic, amazing, iconic.
    ...but what do I know; I don't even like watches!

    Am not sure why that would be an issue.
    If you like the blue one and you want to, buy it.
    Why should the fact that it comes in six colors affect your decisions?
    I don't get it.

    I agree: too big.
    My 105.003 is 39 mm and I still consider that the ideal size.

    I love the blue face and bezel and the lifelike moon. The sub dials and their hands really put me off though. Would much prefer a date window.

    I love it. I typically prefer plainer dials, but also have a big thing for the speedy daydate. Alas 44mm is just beyond what I acn wear. The 42mm moon watch is pushing it as it is.

    And for me, I much prefer a simple dial and just cannot see the point of a moon phase complication.

    Apart from the date hand, I like it. Difficult to see how else you could pull off a date complication on that dial though.

    I like the busy dial and the fact that it is in steel. The moonphase looks very detailed.

    This, I prefer three handers with central seconds personally. I'm sure it will be loved by many though.
