Looking to replace my OMF Snoopy Sapphire with a hesalite Crystal. Anyone have experience when doing something similar?

I don’t understand why no factory is building an adequate Speedy Moonwatch, in times of Rolex Daytone SuperReps a.s.o.
It would sell like hotcakes.
Want one so badly- even consider Gen,
which I could buy, but then ...
need one for rocking...
I got tired of waiting and bought a genuine Speedy Pro and don't regret it for a second. If you buy one, why wouldn't you rock the gen?

Well, I have some Reps and wear the one I love the most regularly. (Explorer, Tudor BB 58)
Over my journey in the Rep game I could Test about 40 pieces and found out that my dream tripple is an immaculate (Ex, Tudor 58, Speedy Moon)
Staring at the immaculate set and enjoying some watch porn, brings me down in the little free time I have.
Wearing the reps gives me piece of mind in my everyday life.
thats why even if I buy the Gen Speedy, my life habits are not smooth. :/
The more I have to buy the Speedy without a longer try/Test.
I bought all Gen after testing through Reps first.
Anyway. ..... life is good, .. but would be better with a Speedy SuperNWbig Rep, right?

New to the rep game. Looking for a speedy rep, need a suggestion on best factories to look for? Ideally would be looking for Moonwatch but open to Any speedmaster black dual with stainless steel. Any insight is appreciated.
Do you have any recommendations for Speedmasters ( excluding Moonwatch) in terms of factories?

You're Saying I Can Sell?
My first rep many years ago was a speedmaster snoopy - its about as far from gen as could be but I’m now set on buying a genuine one if the release a 50th anniversary edition next year. I’ve gotten more compliments on it than any other watch I’ve worn, hopefully we see some improvements towards omega reps as we’ve been seeing with many other brands.
yeah me too... such a beautiful looking watch.... love the color scheme and strap

Why the rep factories haven’t spent the resources on a 1:1 speedy with a good clone movement is beyond me. I think it’s one of the most iconic watches made. Definitely the most iconic Omega. It would sell by the boatload.

hey guys, I'm pretty new to the rep scene and would love to get some help.
A few months ago I wanted to buy a gen speedy, but unfortunately the money was missing after some other purchases and a good offer has expired. I wanted to buy the 311.30.42.30.01.005 version with hesalite glass and the "normal" case back.
After a few posts here in the forum, I read that there is almost no 1:1 copy (yet). I only saw a lot of scam websites and TD not selling the 18/19 version.
I also checked trusty time website and saw the SS/SS Blk OMF V2 Venus 75 ArtA380 posted above. Is it similar to the ref .005-version? Well I don't like the sapphire glas and normal case back that much (bc it's no sapphire sandwich and not the common one with hesalite I prefere) but I think it's common to have the sapphire glas on reps, right?
What do you think of the rep in the picture compared to a gen? Is it very noticeable?
