Moffey Posted August 27, 2007 Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 Hi all. Probably old news, But I found this on Trustys site. LINK Is this based around a real watch and if so is it an accurate replica? Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docblackrock Posted August 28, 2007 Report Share Posted August 28, 2007 Andrew's site is down again at my end so can't see. But yes, the 50th Anniv Speedy is real. They launched a gold version at Basel last year and my local AD now has the SS version (minor dial text addition denoting the XXXX/1957 serial) in a nice boxset. This will be one for NASA freaks or safe queens only hoping for a healthy return in a few years time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fitmic Posted August 28, 2007 Report Share Posted August 28, 2007 Site is down for me too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docblackrock Posted August 28, 2007 Report Share Posted August 28, 2007 If you want the best Speedy Moon rep, then it is THIS one (pic is of mine ) Bad news for you is that it's a discontinued model although they do crop up occasionally in the Trade section, Pugs just sold his.

vric Posted August 28, 2007 Report Share Posted August 28, 2007 Web site it working... Watch look good, but it's the flat crystal.. If it would be doomed, I would be over one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docblackrock Posted August 30, 2007 Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 Actually, the Anniv models do have flat sapphires. Apart from subdials of course, the only other major flaw I see is the red Omega logo above the pinion/hand stack. Looks too dark on the rep. But not a bad rep of the logo Anniv. I guess especially with the domed acrylic Speedy long out of production. Omega and the Anniv. models received a mauling in the horology press, for being a pathetic/wasted opportunity to do something really special for such a special watch and special anniversary. Must admit I agree. Here's the models....SS logo (rep based on), SS serial, WG serial, RG serial, and YG serial: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vric Posted August 30, 2007 Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 My bad then... Still, the Moonwatch deserve a doomed crystal.. Accurate or not (Omega did a mistake ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
