I'd seen that a fellow member on RWG had bought a speedmaster mk II from Aliexpress and I really liked the look of it, probably more than the original moonie (which I now have to compare against....), nice 70's vibe with the case shape. This is a quartz movement, which TBH I kinda prefer for chrono's (...Asian 7750 time bombs, etc.), and I think these are the one versions available, i.e. no mechanical movements.
What is the quality like I hear you ask, well watch head is good, dial is nice. Case back is rubbish and strap is a cheapie, uses split pins and is cheaply finished. Will probably replace it with a GGB velcro strap. It won't stand a close inspection, but on the wrist it looks and feels good, I'd even say comfortable. So considering the price I am very happy with this. Surprisingly it even has some lume; pretty weak, but it is there!
Ordered this on the 23/05 and it arrived today (I paid for the EMS shipping option....), so not too bad. Good communication from the seller and very well packaged, even came with a pin removal tool for the strap.
.....and of course some photos:
