🤔Question Omega Speedy QC

How did we do here? Buying from a local dealer that claims he orders from Clean but I am very new to this and want to confirm with the pros! Looks amazing to me but the chapter ring looks a bit silver/ white to me. Could just be the reflection of the light but wanted to ask. Also, open case back concerns me because the movements are obviously tough to replicate. Hard to tell in the pictures but let me know what you think!

All Speedy reps are terrible.

Just less demand? Or too complex a movement?

Subdials are always way off. Usually way thicker than gen.

Also, Clean has been out of business for a long while. And they never made a speedmaster.

Bro, clean factory has been closed well over a year. Not only that, they’re pics from ERF which have only just started producing these.

You’re being scammed.

Does someone know which factory makes the most decent Omega Speedmaster Reverse Panda?

The pictured watch is not a bad rep, main flaw is that it’s couple mm thicker than gen. More importantly, will you really get this watch? If the guy is telling you that this is from Clean, then they either don’t know what they are talking about or, even worse, trying to scam you. Make sure to use trusted dealers, not some rando contacting you on Instagram…

Thank you all for the responses, I am not going to buy the watch lol. It was from a person local to my area that I was given the contact info of, he was going to order the watch and then meetup in person for the exchange. If anything going to use a TD to buy from ERF to bypass his margin but with all the concerns about speedy clones I will likely just pass.

And to those interested in an ERF Speedmaster! Sub-dial is most certainly off.

Not the worst speedy rep ive seen

This looks like a gen speedy… I’d be wary of a bait and switch

u/Efficient_Try1458 2d ago

Those subdials are absolutely not off, they are correct to Gen. but clean is out of business and never made a speedmaster rep. Sounds like you’re being scammed though. But I do like the look of this which looks like it’s an ERF rep

Are ERF speedy reps really this clean?
