Maybe I`m blind, but I just can`t seem to find a good quality Omega Speedmaster "moon watch" replica.
Has it not been made? or am i just not able to find it?

Hoping for answers with links to the "ultimate" moon watch:helpsmilie:

If I see how many complicated, and not so popular watches are replicated well, I wonder why nobody wants to make a proper rep of the very famous moonwatch...for sure it would be a great business for the factory. Someone understand these Chinese !

Apparently there is an issue with the subdial spacing, the movements available to the rep factories can't match the spacing found in the gen.

This watch is one of my favourites, but is has very visible inaccuracies.

Thank's for info guys! I find it hard to believe that the moonwatch can't be replicated, however i see now that the version with two subdials is available... Maybe i'll get one of those

It's a shame as it's a beautiful and very popular watch. Probably best just to go with a cheap (but still decent looking) quartz since there is no accurate model anyway.

when it comes to this I just see them as watches and compare them to other watches and not to exact the same gen. The nice handwound with the reliable St19 movement I´d even try to get with a see-through caseback, otherwise it´s this one: http://www.torobravo2015.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=37_142&product_id=1495.
The quartz has week lume and some (like mine) have the wrong subdial lettering. The speedmaster bracelet on the quartz is tops, reliability and time-keeping as well and it feels solid and heavy. Time-reading is excellent with the white hands against black background.
Quartz with flaws, depending on what You want/need, grab&go inexpensive and feels nice (imo the better choice still is the handwound one if You´re ordering just 1 watch):

The link is actually the 2013 limited addition, it has a slightly smaller face (39mm) so more like the reduced Moonwatch.
