Agree, the white would be striking enough to distractWith the white dial, somehow the wrong subdial spacing does not bother me so much

This was such a nice looking piece that attracted a lot of attention, positive. So much so that it got pulled lol, I don't blame you ticktock.Putting this here as a reference...
Yeah wonders me too but actually omega is third now after cartier haha, but are there more speedys than seamasters around?Astonishing the speedy doesn't have have a proper rep. It's the most popular watch from the second most popular manufacturer. Yet perfect reps exist of Frank Mullers and other obscure watches. To say it's not popular in the domestic market also doesn't stand up to scrutiny, I just got back from China and saw 3 or 4 different local people wearing genuine speedmasters during the course of my stay.
Thats nice
Ordered from Chazing today. Can't wait!
That's not the "new" Speedmaster that's the old generation. There's no red text = not the new SpeedmasterIs there a rep out there that has an accurate dial color?
I ordered the RMF version but I don't like the silver color in my QC pics

I'm just repeating what more seasoned members have said more eloquently, but the long and short of it is:Yeah wonders me too but actually omega is third now after cartier haha, but are there more speedys than seamasters around?
To add on to this : a coaxial movement is basically impossible to replicate on large scale. Only Omega has this technology.I'm just repeating what more seasoned members have said more eloquently, but the long and short of it is:
the cost of decorating a movement to look like a Seamaster is nothing compared to the amount a factory would have to invest to come up with a proper custom chronograph (all the reps out there are either moded 7750 or Venus 75s, resulting in the improper subdial placement, chonkiness and reputation for breaking easily).
To make such an investment viable they'd have to charge in the 700-800 USD range, which is OK for a Daytona that goes for 30k+ in gen, not so much for a watch you can find for as little as 3k preowned gen (also, Rolex is in high demand in China which is their biggest market, the Speedy because of its association with NASA much less so, making it even less viable.)
But they could make a non working chronograph with correct subdial spacing and case sizeI'm just repeating what more seasoned members have said more eloquently, but the long and short of it is:

They did it for the DaytonaBut they could make a non working chronograph with correct subdial spacing and case size

Then there would be a large group that would be unhappy that the chrono didn’t work…They did it for the Daytona
Yeah, I really suspect that mine is a different watch (or at least different factory) than yours. In fairness, it matches the photos I sent the TD from another site (that listed it as OMF). The problem is that the original for sale post on here said it was an OMF, but it looked a lot more like the QC pics you shared last week. Neither of those look weird around the subdials like mine. And I noticed now, it's all of my subdials. Very weird.
