Hello,

Has anyone ever had experience with the following rep: https://puretimewatch.io/speedmaste...on-ss-bracelet-a9300-black-balance-wheel.html

I looked on multiple TD's websites but it seems that only puretime had it. Has anyone worn this piece? If so, what was your opinion on it? Were there any other recommendations you would have? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!!

Every day there are people in this forum who dont get the basics;

Homepages are not inventory

EMAIL and ask TDs if they can source it, thats the number one way to go...

I'm not asking about sourcing, I'm asking about other user's personal opinions on how they felt about the watch after owning one (or a variant) of this replica

Tadaa. Just wanted to help you understand some basics

This Rep is very unpopular. For reason. The Rep is 18mm, Gen is 13mm thick. 5mm difference is not acceptable, that is a completely different watch.

^^^^^ This is the only thing I know about it. I heard the same thing.

I have one, the sunken datewheel bothered me so I ended up modifying it to raise the date.
The watch is thick. That is probably the biggest reason it gets little wrist time.
Hard to pair any strap to it as a nato just makes it stand off even more, and thin straps look odd against the thick lugs.

The san martin homage of the green no date one has been on my radar for quite a while to replace this one but haven't pulled the trigger.
Mine isn't for sale, having said that, if it was broken or lost I likely wouldn't bother to replace it.

Pretty sure these have been out of stock and not available for a year or two now.

For a similar ish ( in brand and vintage design) watch I strongly suggest the VSF seamaster spectre heritage 300

For speedies Stick to the moonwatch in quartz or OMF, or a speedy racing HWF??, or if you can find one a FOIS (my fav rep speedy)
Other alternatives for chronos with two subdials, I would look into the black bay chrono.

Sunken Date Mod

So I have a couple reps with the working chrono but sunken date. It really annoys me. I am attempting to remove the extra gear train to have a nicer looking date window. By doing so, I may be messing up the depth that the crown tube aligns with the movement but figure I would try and see...

This is the San Martin that is the best homage to the newer omega 57’
If it was closer to 300 I probably would have pulled the trigger already. 420CAD is a lot for a homage that may or may not get a lot of wrist time.

I have that watch. I ordered the matte black dial variant right when it dropped. Has not received a lot of wrist time.
