Agreed,...N1 ticks more of the boxes though all of them have some major flaws!
I've been going back and forth with AMF trying to get them to build one for me but they're very slow to respond.

On looking at the trusty time site it appears they have 7 versions!
My question is simple - which one has the closest face to the original IGNORING the spacing of the sub dial problems & ignoring the price - sorry guys but there doesn't appear to be any major analysis on here of these models?

I've seen a lot of these in the distant past ...........

Each and every time, (sorry to say this everyone to his own choices etc etc), but I just look at it and think "what the unholy mother of fuck shite is that"

Now, I love an Omega, but there is good reason the better Omega Rep factories can't be arsed to rep it ;)

Actually, the more I think about it there aren't many Speedy reps that are anywhere near faithful to Gen :(

Addendum, the biggest issue, and why I don't buy many Omega Chrono's any more is that the Omega Subdial layout is such that the commonplace Movements used in them don't give the correct sub dial functions, and that winds me right up, if it's there it should work as originally intended ;)

The non chrono's like Seamasters, Aquaterras etc are pretty good as it happens ;)

I am new to the replica world, but it's frustrating that no one can make a great replica of the Silver Snoopy watch. Either the dials are too far apart or the back mechanism is not operational. Sad. If a company made a great rep of this, I am sure it would be worth their time.

Until there is a clone movement its a useless effort.

Exactly this /\ /\ /\

Which is why the only Omegas I buy now don't have Chronos, I'm just far too anal to have the Dials reporting the wrong function, even worse frozen ;)

I do possess a Speedy Apollo 11 which you can at least time Seconds and Minutes, but I bought that one as I have an interest in the Apollo missions, just like the current wall mounted display I'm knocking together which is a wee shelf dedicated to the Rolex vs Omega Deep Sea Challenge, with the framed story, and both watches in Glass Bell turntable displays ...... Yeah yeah I know, but that shit keeps me outta worse mischief :ROFLMAO:

I got lucky and a kind member friend here agreed to sell me his Rollie Deepsea Challenge rep that he wasn't wearing. Now I've just bought the production version of the Omega PO Ultra Deep "concept" watch that Victor Vevesco took down the Maraina Trench, that watch beat the original Rolex by 8metres, so then Rolex brought out the one I got (12000m) which beat the Omega.

A nice liitle bit of pointless watch "cock waving" history, that kinda shit fascinates me so that's why I'm building my own wee homage to it (y)
