I was curious of people opinions to why Omega Speedmaster reps haven’t gotten to the super rep status the Rolex reps and others have gotten to?
I just received a Speedy replica from Toro and it’s ~ok~. What I am about to say is not a knock on the TD, Toro did everything right! I’m more talking about the fit and finish of the rep.
The bezel insert is a screaming, dead give away and the dial is a shiny black, not matte. I know the sea gall manual movement doesn’t allow the 6 o’clock needle to function as a genuine, and Ill freeze it if I keep it, but it seems to me that with the Omega Speedmaster not changing much scince the 1960’s and seeing how well factories are nailing other reps, the Speedy’s should be farther along by now...
Am I missing something that makes these watches harder to replicate?
Thanks in advance for your opinions.
