Best ST105.012 ?

Recommended Posts

What version of the ST105.012 is currently considered the most accurate to the original? 

I also noticed that the 'original' moonwatch potentially had a brown face but the ones Buzz and Neil wore seem to be black face. Any moonwatch gurus know? 

Thanks

Anyone know the answer for this? I’ve been searching for ages for an ST105.12 lookalike with a functional hour subdial at 6 o’clock x manually wound.

cheers

There's no super clone of the lemania movement that omega uses in these so al the half decent reps use the venus clone but the functionality and more importantly subdial spacing is off.  I for a long time toyed with the idea of buying some random vintage watch with he same or similar lemania in that I could use as a base for a franken build  and ended up finding a used gen cheap on WUS so bought that instead

@Genius is right. Which is why I’m holding off on buying a Speedy rep. Brown or black dial, no matter. The dial Browns with exposure to years of sunlight.

Look for spec that says Seagull ST19 / Venus 75 which is the Asian Lemania copy 

Here's an example in the Speedy - https://www.trustytime02.cc/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=35_81&products_id=19693
