Le Temps of Switzerland- perhaps a good GADA option?

Came across this brand today and they do ship worldwide. Store I was looking at is in Poland and shipping is around 40.00.

It appears that it may be a decent GADA option along Vaer, Seiko and some Tissot especially PR100.

Anyone heard of this brand before?

Advice on moon phase repair for mid 80s Omega speedy moon

Dear Watch U Seek,

I have a mid-eighties Omega Speedmaster moon phase (cal 866) that I inherited from my dad. The moon phase has not reliably worked since I received it 4 years ago. After I set it it will advance for only a few days and then just stop.

It’s been into Omega for service 2-3 times (in Switzerland, which I now regret, as they modernized some of the parts) and to a boutique repair shop once. No luck. Otherwise everything works great, including the date wheel.
