You picked the only popular watch of which there is no good replica available.

The reason is that there is no movement available that the replica factories can use to get the sub dial spacing right. Sadly, with the available movements the Moon Speedy reps that are available, the spaces between the sub dials are so large that the rep is easily identifiable as one from across the room.

Speedmaster is a good gen choice, rep for everything else.

Hai scelto l'unico orologio popolare di cui non è disponibile una buona replica.

Il motivo è che non è disponibile alcun movimento che le fabbriche di repliche possano utilizzare per ottenere la giusta spaziatura del quadrante secondario. Purtroppo, con i movimenti disponibili delle ripetizioni Moon Speedy disponibili, gli spazi tra i quadranti secondari sono così grandi che la ripetizione è facilmente identificabile come quella dall'altra parte della stanza.
Thank you very much

In the omega section there should be a whole thread on the speedmasters

To sum it up, either go cheap quartz and it will have correct subdial spacing but the dial will be flat.
Or go mechanical movement and the subdial spacing will be a little off but usually the subdials are recessed nicely. OMF makes these.

I'm new here and I've been buying my Rep from a Chinese seller for now. Now I am looking at the offers of trusted dealers from this forum.
If you have any more details on who you've bought this from, let me know. Massively intrigued

I guess it's the OMF Speedmaster, it's currently the best option indeed. Check any of the TDs websites, any should be able to source it.
