Has anyone purchased this? Thoughts/experience?

I've searched through the forums with no luck.

Cheers!

I find it hard to believe you didn't find any info on Speedmaster here.

Start here: http://www.rwg.cc/topic/426-by-tors-guide-to-best-omega-replicas/

... and welcome to RWG!

Thanks! Yes I've read By-tor's Omega guide, however I guess I should be a bit more specific. I have fallen in love with the dial color combination of the linked watch above (along with the red-colored moon-landing date), and wanted to know if anyone had encountered any problems with that watch in particular. I love the traditional moon watches as well, but this just looks FANTASTIC with a mesh band (which I intend to purchase).

Have no idea if anyone here has it. You should note that this is a basic Asian movement and non-working chrono. The second hand actually sweeps, so it doesn't work like the gen watch.

I have no idea about your budget, but personally I try to avoid these movements.

Buy what you like...it's your money.

But anyone who knows anything about watches In general....will know this is a replica. The sweeping chrono hand Is a huge give away.

If this dosent bother you...enjoy. I personally would look for a model with the proper working movement...Lemania or Asian 7750. But the sub dial spacing will be off due to the modified movement.

I've seen a couple of threads here with people asking if timesshop was a scam site, due to slow service and their communication issues. I hear the site is trusted on RWI though, so all's good. But don't take my word for it, I'm not a member on RWI.

Oh btw..I think thats a fantasy model..there's a Michael Schumacher Legend with a cream dial.

It might be a good idea to take your time and check out some of the Speedmaster models. If you really like the one from TS...fine.

The one below is the only one I know of with the white dial and black sub dial config.

Take your time...we're not going anywhere.

Mike

PS...I also ran across this one...looks more like the one you like. These are the genuine article.

[whoopy12]

Thanks for the suggestions everyone!

I've had a hard time determining WHICH watch it is as well. So it very well could be fantasy. However the picture that I posted earlier was from a genuine watch forum (at least i'm fairly sure).

(Pictures are about halfway down)

Found another forum.

There are some differences of course (different color hands, different font/Omega logo), but it's very similar
