The Best Vintage UK AAA Replica Omega Speedmasters to Collect Right Now
Eric Wind – UK Online Replica Omega Speedmaster Ref. 105.012.66 CB
Our friend at Wind Vintage, Eric Wind, immediately rattled off this reference number, and this is also the Speedmaster he owns and wears. Wind tells Robb Report that it is an “oddball variation” because the case is not made by perfect replica Omega watches’ main supplier at the time Huguenin & Frères but by Fabrique de Boites La Centrale (or Central Case Maker in English), a firm Omega is rumored to have hired when there some fussing over technical drawings caused a delay with Huguenin.
While this oddball case makes the high quality fake watches rarer, it also changes how it looks. As Wind told us, it “has a wider lug and twisted 3D presence with the additional angle.” Wind didn’t know about the different case, but when he bought his personal 105.012.66 CB from the grandson of a Greek pilot, who was the original owner, Wind dug in and researched it.
The CB designation is for Central Boites, a short-hand for Fabrique de Boites La Centrale, and finding one of these luxury copy watches‘ central boites examples will require a keen eye. The key is to look for those slightly larger lugs with the extra bevel.
Blake Buettner – UK Shop Replica Omega Speedmaster Ref. 145.022-69 with “220 Misprint” Bezel
A regular contributor to Robb Report, Buettner’s knowledge of vintage cheap super clone watches are vast, and he’s one of those folks who can rattle off a lengthy reference number. That’s just what he did when we asked him for his take on the Speedmaster, and the 145.022-69 he references is rare for the marking on the tachymeter scale reading “220” instead of “200.”
Buettner notes that very few were made with that misprint, so it’s rare, but this is otherwise the same watch Vega recommends above, which best fake Omega made in abundance for years. Because most people don’t know—or possibly don’t care—about the 220 misprint, they’re not super expensive. He says, “If it were a Rollie it’d be worth hundreds of thousands.”
