Anyone see this Omega Speedmaster at Basel?

Check out the subdial placement. A relatively perfect rep of this could be made.

Yeah but the running seconds look like they're at 3 o'clock, not at 9 o'colck.

Dont know what rep movt has that layout, although the spacing looks the same as a 7750.

That may be a mid sized version which may tend to show larger subdial placement.

thats the Speedmaster reduced, automatic movement - caliber 1141/1140

The rep makers will still probably put a "display" case back on it.

Oops, didn't notice that. Good eye.

I hope they'll do a seconds at 3 for the next movement they rep--plenty of watches to make w/ such a movement--brietlings, Mare Nostrum, Mullers and lots of other high end chronos.

If you watch, you can pick up a used genuine for around $750 making it almost unnececessary to even consider a rep.

yup, i'd say even less. this model lacks the minute numbers on the indices. i think it really improves the look because now the small dial is less crowded. get a black leather strap and you have a superb medium sized chrono...

How much are the used reduced day/date going for these days? I picked one up from Omega in the UAE after the sales representative talked me out of the moonwatch..."Hey, I'll surely use the date function!" Then I got in on a good deal for an X-33, my daily wear/and alarm. Regardless, now I'm jonesing for a moon watch and I just dont wan't to pull the trigger on an authentic....I'm looking at PT's.
