Looking for a speedmaster moonwatch? Info inside!

[shortlegs]

From what I undertand, chinese people are not interested in the speedmaster, so no manufacturer really makes the effort to make a high quality product. I would be curious to know the proportion of asian buyers vs rest of the world.

This.

The speedy is a big big deal especially in the US due to being the 1st country to the moon and all that. Ans also because US based media is the most prevalent worldwide. But outside of USA, the whole space thing is of much less appeal, especially in Asia.

In Europe the space thing is really appealing. I'm not so sure about Asia, btw they've launched their Lunar Program too

Hello Folks,

I'm looking for a good manual winding Speedy replica. What models are worth considering at TD's?

 

[bigasahouse]

Hey all- does anyone know where the cheapest option for the Speedmaster rep can be found? I’m ok with quartz or manual. Thank you all so much!

 

[DOLEX]

Sorry for the reviving a relatively dead thread, but I'm interested in sourcing some straps for a Speedmaster. All recommendations -- for both OEM steel and others -- are appreciated.

Sorry if this has been discussed, but I know that there aren’t very many options for an accurate Speedy Professional moonwatch with a manual wind.

That said, are the reps of the more “modern” Speedys any good, such as the Dark Side of the Moon series, or the automatics? Do any of those have accuracy that rivals the Seamasters and Planet Oceans?

How is the 38mm manual wind version? Is 14mm too thick?

The 2 sub dial versions which are the thicker ones, they look okay but are too overpriced.

Haven't seen a 38mm rep moonwatch, was there any? 14mm usually is the standard thickness for chronograph watches

Yea, there's one at puretime at 228. Very tempted to get it but I don't know the flaws.

Alright, looks like there's no such thing as a rep 38mm Speedy

 

[BoltonWanderer]

Am I right in saying that the best Speedmaster rep for look/feel is this one:

As I understand it, this watch doesn't have a working chronograph but it's the most accurate in terms of looks? I don't really have an issue with the chronograph not working, I'd take that over flaws with the look any day, so any advice on this would be great!

None of the reps have accurate subdial spacing unfortunately.

Gen:

 

[crunchycarrot00]

Would there be any interest from Gen owners in buying replica dials of popular LE models (45th Apollo 13 Anniv Silver Snoopy for example) for a gen 1861 movement ?.

I’m talking with Angus from pure time to see if we can get one of our rep factories to make a batch of replica dials that will fit the gen movement/case. Our rep factories already make the Apollo 11 45th, Apollo 13 45th, Speedy Tuesday, etc. for the ST19 in pretty good quality (though with obvious wrong measurements) so it shouldn’t be too difficult to get them to port over some of that know how / experience into a dial fit for a gen speedy.

Has anyone taken a chance on the U1 Factory one on AliExpress? $77 with discount. I don’t have huge expectations at that price point, but it wouldn’t be the end of the world of it were disappointing. Thinking about giving it a try. Still debating whether to do that or just spend better money for a better one from a TD.

Imho at that price point all reps are crap. Save your hard earned money for gens or for reps of a better quality. To each his/her own ofc.

I appreciate the advice. That's kind of what my gut was telling me. I figured there was a reason that the ones from the TD's are much more expensive than most on DHGate of AliExpress.

I think at this point the phylida, age girl, bliger, corgeut, and the alpha homages are the best of buck purchases for anyone looking for that speedy look and feel
