Man, Robert/T4D passed away nearly a year ago.
I'm sure one of the dealers is close to the factory that does quartz reps, maybe watcheden/t4d etc.
Explains a lot that does.

This is so much going to inspire Day 5 in the Reject's Journal...
The guy posted 3 threads so far, all of them asking the same questions.
Okay, i ve read through all my posts again, but i still dont understand the excitement in its entirety.
My first thread was probably a typical uninformed one written by a newbie. But i had appologized for that.
My second thread was simply motivated by the fact that i had seen some almost perfect (for me) QUARTZ replicas in the past, but wasnt able to find one at that time. And considering the given rwg-link my wish list wasnt too ambitious at all.
My third thread mainly consisted of the question if it wouldnt be perhaps possible to exert some kind of influence on the manufacturers through the dealers by some sort of petition.
I can very well imagine that you are sometimes bothered by always the same beginner questions arising again and again. But why not simply a new sticky up-to-date collective thread like 'The CURRENT best Speedmaster Professional Replicas' where everyone can post his RECENT findings?
And finally, i do appreciate your help very much (including yours, markh, although you should perhaps be more careful about using '...'s after the word 'insanity'). But perhaps you should also remind yourselves from time to time of how this forum in general and the replies to my posts in particular appear to a complete beginner like me.
With best regards,
Hazel

Back to the basics
What i ve understood so far is that correct sub-dials are definitely not possible by using the current available hand-wound movements. But what about automatic movements? I just ask because i saw the following automatic rep on watcheden.net apparently having correctly positioned sub-dials
http://www.watcheden.net/omega-spee...-carbon-fibre-style-dial-s-s-i-80351-p-1.html
Are the sub-dials correctly arranged, but simply not fully working?
And just another question regarding the quartz versions. Are sweeping seconds possible at all using a quartz movement?
Best regards,
Hazel

Oh for Christ's sake :frusty:
You just don't want to take no for an answer do you?
1/ The watch you linked to is $108 bucks, that means it's a 21j so yes, faux subdials. In fact it says so:
2/ It isn't even a moonie, it's a Speedmaster Reduced which is an automatic watch with date, smaller in size and using a different MVT in the gen. A fact you would know by now if you bother to do some reading instead of asking the same question over and over again.
Now, once and for all before people begin to get really annoyed I'll try in big, red letters:
[BLINK]THERE IS NO GOOD REP OF THE SPEEDIE MOONWATCH - GO BUY THE DAMN GEN![/BLINK]

Yes, but not in a rep and AFIK not in a chronograph.

Buddy you have opened three threads with basically the same question, and many members answered your questions trying to help you. Some even in the three of them...
Then, when you got your answers, you go and open a new thread with the same questions again!
You may not get it, but for some people, including myself, this is kind of annoying.
Ok you are new here and we understand it, but again.......

Do you really think that anybody gives a damn about you being speechless or not?
To anyone who was friendly and helpful: "Thank you very much!".
To anyone else:

Physicists . . .
If you ever get LHC time how many times are you going to fire some poor particle around the doughnut before you realise you won't always get the answer you want?

Well, it s just too funny to left it unsaid. Yes, i was part of the ATLAS team when discovering the Higgs and yes, we have had to repeat basically the same experiment for ten years to find it.
But now, seriously, please delete my account.

icard:Hazel, the Einstein comment about the definition of insanity has nothing to do with Theoretical Physics as far as I can see, I really don't care if it does, it doesn't even appear to be a real definition. If anything it seems to be a humorous comment from him taken out of context, he did have a sense of humour after all. In fact I'm not even sure if he quoted it but it was meant as tongue in cheek humour for opening up threads and asking again and again about a better moonwatch rep, when clearly one doesn't exist.
You have to understand that the search function doesn't get enough use on these forums at times and all the answers are in there somewhere. It just requires a little effort. People are more than willing to help, but that dries up
when you don't put some of your own effort in.
Here is a list of basically all the movements available for reps:

that was from a 5 second google query. Now if one of them would fit the subdials it would be great, but it doesn't, so here we are!
TB, yeah I don't know where t4d came out of, I think I meant to put another dealer there. I imagine how Robert would've handled him.
+1 lol.
Can't say I blame you mark!
