The_Iceman Posted August 4, 2014 Report Share Posted August 4, 2014 Hello All I am looking for a good quality rep SpeedMaster with a display back. Can anyone point me in the right direction or share any experiences they might have. It looks like TR and Trusty both have them just wondering if anyone had any pointers. Also looking to put it on the black leather deployment strap. Looking for a daily watch to wear around the office so I don't muck up my gen pieces. Thanks for your time.

The_Iceman Posted August 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2014 Sorry I forgot to add this is my first rep so any general advice you could pass along would be great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icoopernicus Posted August 6, 2014 Report Share Posted August 6, 2014 I think these are still available. The rep that is available is a 3573 (sapphire sandwich) but it has some pretty big tells, if this is a concern of yours. from a distance it looks okay but it's pretty easy to call out from that same distance if you are aware of the flaws that it has. Not that I wouldn't buy one, just so you know though, it's not a very accurate replica. p.s. Speedmasters look great on a black leather strap!

The_Iceman Posted August 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2014 Thank you for the info. I am not really concerned about how accurate it is to the Gen (granted i don't want something that is WAY off), but more so a quality movement that is beefy enough for a daily wearer around the office.

GenTLe Posted August 7, 2014 Report Share Posted August 7, 2014 Hi mate. If you are new to this world, please give a look to at least the first 2 posts of the thread linked in my signature. Do it for yourself to spare some headaches Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bc1221 Posted August 7, 2014 Report Share Posted August 7, 2014 the speedy moon watch with the display back and St19 movement is pretty solid. great looking watch. hand wind and about the only affordable column wheel chrono movement. i rarely wear mine but just cant decide if i wanna sell it. i get compliments on it every time i wear it though. then their jaws drop when i show them the back. its about one of the best out of the box movements in the rep world. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Iceman Posted August 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 Thanks for the replies. BC that is exactly what I was looking for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bc1221 Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 Yea. I think just about every TD can get that watch man. Shoot them a email with a picture of the watch you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GADGET213 Posted September 28, 2014 Report Share Posted September 28, 2014 bc1221 That is a work of art in my book, I'm looking at the Apollo 11 version from Trusty but am still looking for a better one if there is one. Gary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rusky158 Posted November 10, 2014 Report Share Posted November 10, 2014 I'd personally like to see an good one with a closed back, haven't saw one for ages. I don't have an open back but here's a pic of mine when I visited a local watch smith for a repair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It requires a different movement ring, since the closed caseback Speedies have the anti-magnetic cover between the movement and caseback. I much prefer the classic man on the moon caseback and will be leaving mine alone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
