Yeah the blue on the case is way off from genuine but this is the version that has a great dial. Will place an order from this seller. So many generations of these reps which got worse and worse with the speedmaster text in bold and the moonswatch script in the incorrect font!I haven’t seen / gotten their Mercury, but they’ve been good about sending QCs when asked!
Their Neptune casing is just as incorrect as everyone else’s unfortunately, I’ve not found any vendors that come remotely close to gen, and I looked hard. It’s even more frustrating since they all seem to get the case color right for the Super Blue Moon, and it should be the same case!
This was their QC for the Neptune:

Guys what's your opinion on using this omega seamaster quartz from dhgate to put a moonsswatch dial in it?

My other option is geting one of those v63 cases from ali x. I will however in either way buy stents and a pe50 stem.

Hmm on second thought the price is roughly the same as the v63 ali x case either way so might aswell just go with that. But my thought was i could use the seamaster dial and quartz movement in my moonsswatch haha to have two working watches. Although no real way of seeing the quality of that watch. I have contacted the seller i'll see what he say too.
I have a future thought if i really like this watch for the future.
To buy this jason007 clone of a speedmaster: Jason007 speedmaster link
Then pick up a genuine moonsswatch from chrono24
And trying to modify an automatic movement to fit the moonsswatch dial, i don't care if the other things won't work and i'll try and solve the modifications in some way. If people were able to go to the moon i should be able to convert an automatic movement to work.

I have done a few of the Jason007 Speedys for myself w/ Moonswatch internals. They work great. You just need a new stem and some heatshrink to extend the pushers. However...
You are not going to modify an automatic movement to fit the Moonswatch dial. Subdial spacing is ALWAYS a pain, and one of the reasons no good Speedy rep exists. Just use the inbuilt Sunon PE50. It is a moonswatch after all!
Hard to say since there're no image reviews of the actual product, but that appears to be the same case as the Lige Chronograph ($15 Speedmaster homage on AliX) - The bezel is flat with the case rather than bowled with an inner groove, the case is almost definitely chromed alloy rather than stainless steel, and I believe the strap width is 22mm rather than the standard 20mm.
It should be a lot slimmer than the standard VK63 cases on Ali though if you don't mind the incorrect bezel shape (those average around 15.5mm, Pagani Design's is 14.2mm, the gen is 13mm, and the Lige is listed around 10mm but might be a bit thicker).
Super curious what movement that thing is using / if those subdials actually look like that or actually function, since their spacing is close to a genuine Speedmaster which none of the cheap movements I've seen can mimic (if you look at the Pagani or any other VK63 movement the subdials are noticeably spaced further apart).
Basically that one's a whole lotta question marks!
Jason Speedys are great for the rep bracelet and caseback - I've heard of some folks having success ordering those direct from Jason without the actual case or movement and saving some money there which is cool. The case itself I believe is just as chonky as the other AliX blanks though, so if accuracy and comfort are your true endgoals then I'd lean more toward picking up a Pagani or Watchdives for the case itself.
Roger that, i trust your expertise and i will just forget about my dream of an automatic then hehe. Allright thanks about the Jason i will think about if i'll go for that or a v63 ali x then.
Hmm yeah when you put it like that it seems like it's just poor quality and i'm better off just buying a v63 case then i guess.
Mm that's really why i wanted it... the caseback and bracelet. Thank you guys for your insight it's very valueable.
I will make sure to post my finished moonswatch here later for you guys to witness, judge =)
Have a good one guys and thanks again for your help
