Clarification on current "best" Moonwatch

Hi -- I've been digging around for a few days now, but most threads seem to be from over a year ago, and I'm seeing moonie reps listed as 38, 40, and 42mm. Many of the TD's in older threads no longer list the moonwatch referenced, or the link is dead. (Hont, for example)

I'm interested in the "best" and "most traditional" Speedmaster moonwatch replica, with the ST19 movement. At this point in time, is it this one from Toro? http://www.torobravo2015.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=37_142&product_id=1495 . As in, is this the version that has the incorrect subdial spacing, but accepts the gen hexalite crystal, and that people do the 6 o'clock freeze to?

Sorry if I'm, beating a dead horse, I just don't know how often things change at TD's.

Yes, this is the best Speedmaster in rep market right now. Still has some flaw like your comment and faux dial @ 6.

Looks like thats an attempt at cloning the Numbered Edition so in that sense it is not the "most traditional" which is what I'm seeking as well.

Are those flaws really obvious ?
I'm new to the forum and I want to buy my first rep soon. Really love the speedy but the planet ocean is nice too

The flaws on almost all speedmaster reps are pretty obvious. The most noticeable and obvious is the subdial spacing and the subsequent hour marker size on the 3,6 and 9 o'clock hours. Look at a gen and you will see that all hour markers are the same size and the reps are not. I have seen a few reps with non-functional sub-dials with better spacing, and i think there is a quartz version with correct spacing... though that version may not be available any more.
