This particular piece from perfect replica Omega is just wrong. Still, it’s the perfect “Speedy” for me. What is wrong is the mix of a modern 42mm asymmetric case with a Broad Arrow handset inspired by the original CK2915 from 1957. The CK2915 had a 38.6mm case without crown guards, of course. Nevertheless, this quirky mix of elements created a watch that looks the part. The steel bezel, dark gray dial, applied logo, and Hesalite crystal each play a significant role in that too. This neo-vintage 1:1 fake Omega Speedmaster Replica 3594.50 — a watch that was later renamed Relaunch for obvious reasons — feels better on my wrist than the current Moonwatch.
Yes, the current luxury fake Omega Moonwatch is superior to my Replica. I have to make do with the previous hand-wound 3Hz caliber 1861, which is no match for the METAS-certified caliber 3861 in the current Speedy. Still, I can live with an average daily rate of +11/-1 seconds per day with the chronograph switched off. Better still, my (watch) life has greatly improved since the Replica has been at my disposal. Its steely, strong, and instrumental look just floats my boat.
And it does so comfortably because of the Joseph Bonnie STAR 69 strap that I put on this aaa quality fake Omega. I have no idea what kind of color it is. It is some kind of brownish shade of green or the other way around. But the soft yet resilient pigskin strap wears wonderfully. It’s the 2.2mm thinness and the elegant, dramatic 20–14mm taper that do the trick, creating a great neo-vintage look.
