The link refers to Speedmaster Racing 40mm. Many said that's the closest to a gen. But if you browse again thru their web, there is actually a same model but made by different factory (HKF/HRF) which I believe to be a better one in terms of accuracy to the gen.
1. If you look at the date window, the HKF's bottom border of the date window is cut/colored black thus interrupting the circular white border of the subdial. The cheaper model has a date window inside the subdial.
2. HKF's bracelet is truer to gen with a flat inner side.
3. The white lettering print on the dial of HKF is a deeper white and brighter.
4. The lume on the hands of HKF is blue vs green on the cheaper model.
5. The Swiss Made print at the bottom is sharper on HKF. On the cheaper model, the height of minute marker between the words Swiss and Made is the same as the words Swiss Made (should be lower as in Gen.
6. The incription inside the HKF's case back is also more accurate.
If those things are important to you, I suggest getting the HKF one. But both work well, HKF is a few grams lighter and both movements are accurate to +/- 2ish SPD on mine. I have both models. To me, both their metal bracelets have sharp edges (I sprayed with silicone and let them sit a few hours, and the result is well worth it. The bracelets feel silkier, "softer" and sound more substantial).
