My El Cheapo quartz says hi! :)





It's a very solid watch, subdials recessed, only minor visual flaws. Runs like a champ :)

Well, elsewhere :) Lume is OK, but different from gen. I decided to let it go, have too many incoming. It's already in the M2M :)

Has this died a death then? :cryingbadly: The rep factories really don't know the desirability of retro look Omegas do they? I'd LOVE a quality rep of this!

bought 14 days ago a shitty quartz rep
Subdial spacing is always an issue with the most common 1861 Speedmasters. No rep movement comes close. I don't know much about the newer Mk II and it's movement, but I'd imagine that accurately reproducing the sub spacing and the lumed tachymeter will be an obstacle. Super-rep probably won't happen due to difficulty and limited demand, but someone did post a link to a shitty quartz rep a while back.

Get the quartz version first to see if you REALLY like it. I'm glad I did...
