At that price point, its OK to get both as they fill two very different niches/aesthetics in your collection. Just be sure to swap out those terrible OEM straps.

I've got a few moonswatches now because my kids like getting them for me as gifts, which I like because they are actually fun and interesting to look at. They get more wrist time than "horologically superior" watches in my collection because of that emotional connection (the kiddos go happy amazeballz seeing dad wearing their moonswatch to work), but also because of that casual amusment with alot of character.

Maybe I'm alone and wrong, but I'm actually slightly more stoked about getting the new white snoopy Moonswatch then getting that eventual call from the Rolex AD.
