1st Omega Speedmaster - Complete NOOB

Whoa, that's sooo cheeky!

Thanks for your explanation about the problem on the last qc (I don't find the way to quote from smartphone)

That is borderline irresponsible and not ok! I will reconsider my relationship with PT after this. I have rejected for the second time. It’s my understanding that PT now disputed all rejections.

The easiest tell is the subdial spacings. Walk near anyone who has one and he’ll be able to say it’s repped. Compare these to any rep and you’ll see.

New watch, same issues, SEL gap.

Gen speedys are available for 3k usd

Would you pay 600 or 700 usd for a rep with an accurate movement? I wouldn't.

It works for the Daytona because the Daytona street price is over 20k usd.

Honestly I can accept the subdial spacing. It's just different than gen not necessarily worse.

The genuine silver snoopy is ridiculous. I like the Apollo 11 45th but not for triple a standard speedy pro. Both my reps satisfy that itch plenty. I would gladly Franken both if these if I could get access to the dials in the aftermarket like I did with the Japan racing and mitsukoshi dials but alas it isn't possible.

But this has the correct seconds markers spacing though

 

[johnlogan]

The watch is great. It’s just the bracelet that don’t fit. Very strange but probably due to incorrect case shape.

Might just be the springbar that is too small.

 

[Duncan_McCloud]

By the way, the OMF has the correct markers in the chapter ring (long one for 5 minute marks, and just 2 small marks in between): https://www.intime05.co/omega/5741-...-bracelet-manual-winding-chrono-movement.html

If I got it right, having only 2 small marks between seconds is incorrect. There should be 4 small smarks between seconds. Isnt' it ?

Yes

Might be a skinny springbar. I will order up a few fat ones just in case.

You are absolutely right, actually!

New Batch, Correct 4 marks

Oh my... I'll have to bite the bullet here. May I ask what exact model is this? I've searched over at InTime and Puretime and can't find the JHF model.

They have neglected too name the factory. Probably due to earlier bad reputation.
I ended up approving this - I have ordered a few 20mm Ø1.8mm springbars to tighten up the SEL.

Lovely, thanks mate!

I'm sure there are plenty of gen spec springbars for a Speedy Pro, will have to take a look.
