I am sorry, but I am starting to get confused. Is this thread about a franken SPC300 or a new, higher quality SPC300 produced with a yet unknown movement?

near 1:1 clone movement.

Of what? Certainly not an in-house Omega co-axial, which is what would be proper for this watch. Too expensive to make, too limited in its use (Omega reps only), too challenging to repair (need special Omega-provided training).

I would be happy with a A2824, not a fan of Miyota

near 1:1 clone movement.

Thats gona be interetsing, the 8400 omega movement is not an easy movement to assembly even for skilled watchmakers (plenty reviews avaliable on the 8500, the same movement with date calendar)
apparently the coaxial movement has 2 jewels that need very precise amounts of oil to work properly so its very hard to do this without the proper tools, but who knows if they made a 4130 chrono with column wheel, who knows

my bet is that they will make a 2824 looking alike 8400 but not coaxial complications but yes to appearance.

I think watchmakers will rep it only 1:1 appearance not function. this is their maximal ability.

Waiting impatiently on this. The 300 was my first rep and a re-release with the 2824 has been at the top of my wish list every since.

nine I became curious, why are you giving a 6 out of 10 score to the v6F case? There was a review from a member making a comparison between the GEN seamaster 300 coaxial and the v6f spectre (gen cases are the same) and teh review conclusion was that other than color and material of the bezel case is literally 1:1 in dimensions, same thickness, same lug shape, same caseback, bezel ceramic insert font was sliglty different and the black was darker, the rep was candidate to rep of the year!

So not quite sure that a 6 score its really fair with this rep, if the new one has a better movement (that was the most common complain about the miyota "stuttering" second hand) we will see what this new reps come up with.

so far i have seen several spectres from aliexpress and that quality is way different from the v6f.

I'm also very curious how this replica turns out, since i have both v6F v.2 and the gen (i did some comparsion pictures here: https://forum.replica-watch.info/fo...ster-300-spectre-spc300?p=4064958#post4064958 ) and i find a 6/10 also quite low for the case, but im really intrested in a replica with a different movement and maybe some more upgrades :)

Cause the rotor noise (which some members told could be fixed) is for me the most annoying thing on the v6F. Luckily the stuttering of the second hand disappeard after a good time of wearing.

I don’t have the spectre but I have the standard gen SM300. I checked it against v6f and I honestly couldn’t spot the difference in case quality....of course gen is gen but the rep what THAT good.

The Miyota movement just needs a drop of oil on the rotor and it’s good to go.

Would love to own a decent spectre rep. The gen is too expensive for me.

Even oiled the Miyota is too noisy for my tastes now that I own a few 2824s.

Any news on the new release? Getting an itchy trigger finger.

Are you saying there is a new Spectre release?

Is it available from TDs?


(Thought we talking about a “build”)
