Swiss made fake Omega used a very unfortunate name for this Speedmaster 3594.50 but did so with all the best intentions. It was Omega’s first attempt at creating a re-edition of the first Speedmaster CK2915, and the watch debuted as the cheap replica Omega Speedmaster ’57 Replica. Apparently, the folks at Omega were unaware of the negative connotation that this term has for watch collectors and enthusiasts. Even just recently, one of our readers and fellow 1:1 fake Omega Speedmaster enthusiasts had his IG account blocked by Instagram because he referred to the watch as the Speedmaster Replica (pro tip: don’t do that).

Introduction of the Omega Speedmaster ’57 Replica
Naming aside, AAA quality fake Omega introduced the Speedmaster ’57 in 1997 as part of the 50 Mission Cases. Each case contained 23 Omega Speedmaster watches, a container with the then-new 1861 movement, and a loupe. Twenty-two Omega Speedmasters replica for sale were so-called “mission patch” models. Each had a patch design from a space mission in the sub-dial at 9 o’clock.

The 23rd Speedmaster (or first Speedmaster, depending on how you look at it) was the new high quality replica Omega Speedmaster ’57 Replica 3598.50. That’s correct, the reference number was slightly different from the regular production model in 1998. Forty of the Mission Cases were offered on the market, and the top copy watches were individually numbered xx/40. Omega also did two more batches of five Mission Cases. These had a slightly different lid design and were numbered x/5. One of these batches carried the “hors commerce” (non-commercial) label while the other batch was the “épreuves d’artistes” (artists’ proof). One of these cases now resides at the NASA visitor center in Houston, Texas.

The Speedmaster ’57 3594.50 becomes a regular model in the collection
In 1998, best quality replica Omega UK introduced separate editions of the Speedmaster Professional mission patch models from the Mission Case. Between 100 and 150 pieces of each model were available separately, and each came in a white fabric “Missions” box. Omega super clone for sale made two exceptions to this. One was for the Speedmaster Professional Apollo XIII. This model had already seen a release in 1995 as a limited edition of 999 pieces (with the old ref. 1479 bracelet). The other exception was for the top copy Omega Speedmaster ’57 Replica. This model received reference number 3594.50 (and 3894.50 for the version on the tan leather strap) and existed as a regular production model until 2003. Although still available in the years after, production had ceased, and the watch disappeared from the Swiss movement replica Omega catalogs after 2003.

The yellow gold 150th-anniversary edition
Aside from the steel version from 1998, top quality fake Omega also introduced 150 pieces of the Speedmaster ’57 in yellow gold. These commemorated the 150th anniversary of the brand that same year (1848–1998). There are a few interesting facts about this gold edition as well. It was available with a gold bracelet (ref. 1479), and it had the then-new caliber 1863 (a luxury-finished version of the 1861) despite not having a sapphire case back. Furthermore, it was worn (and perhaps still is) by Dire Straits lead singer Mark Knopfler. The high end replica Omega Speedmaster ’57 150th-anniversary edition had reference number 3193.50 for the version on the gold bracelet. Meanwhile, the version with a leather strap and gold folding clasp carried reference number 3693.50. You can find more information about gold Omega Speedmasters replica online uk here.

As watch collectors we all wish to one day stumble on a “barnyard” find. An old fake watch uk that’s dug up and sold at an estate sale by an owner who has no idea what it is actually worth. We hear the stories, and they always seem too good to be true. But they definitely happen and, fortunately, many anecdotes end with a buyer informing the seller of the super clone watch’s real value and meeting them somewhere in the middle between asking price and market price. Sometimes though, programs like Antiques Roadshow are on standby to illuminate the owners of these hidden gems of their true value. And on a recent episode, one man discovered that his brother’s perfect replica Omega Speedmaster Apollo-Soyuz watch was worth £80,000.

The watch in question is a rather rare UK 1:1 fake Omega Speedmaster Apollo-Soyuz watch sold in the early months of 1980. The host/appraiser explained to the guest who brought the watch: “It is definitely an aaa quality replica Omega Speedmaster Professional. But it doesn’t say that on the dial. It’s got something else very different that makes it unusual and rather special. We’ve got this mission logo, which is the Apollo Soyuz mission, that was three American astronauts and two Russians meeting up in the Apollo capsule, in the Soyuz capsule, in space, in 1975. Remember this was the height of the Cold War so this was an achievement to do this, and at the end of the mission, a particular distributor in Italy, a guy called Marchi, decided to order up a batch of these – some say up to 500, others say 400 now.”

On Swiss made fake Omega’s own website, they explain that this special Omega Speedmaster Apollo-Soyuz ref. 1168/633 was created in 1975 for the Italian market, where at the time top copy Omega Speedmaster watches were particularly popular. “Made in a limited edition of 500 pieces to mark this famous American-Soviet space rendez-vous, this watch was the first of the ‘Patch’ watches,” Omega clarifies. “It has the mission patch at 12 o’clock in place of the luxury replica Omega UK logo as well as longer markers on the dial, wider pushers, and a unique bracelet.”

This calibre 861-powered cheap fake Omega Speedmaster clocks in at a standard 42mm in diameter, with the crystal protecting the dial forged in outer space-friendly Hesalite. Its aluminum bezel is configured in the dot-next-to-ninety configuration, rather than the preceding dot-over-ninety. And based on the footage in the video, the luminescent tritium material has evenly aged across the dial.

The appraiser remarks on the exceptional condition of the watch and the provenance, which includes the original receipt upon purchase. When asked if he has ever worn it, the owner of the watch explained why it was in such good nick. “It’s not really my type of watch. I found it a bit heavy, a bit bulky. I’ve stuck it in the drawer thinking: ‘Well, it may come in useful someday’.”
It was then revealed by the appraiser that, in his informed opinion, the watch was worth a minimum of £80,000 – a far stretch beyond the original £300 paid for the watch in 1980. When the expert joked that the man would likely not own the Swiss movement fake Omega for much longer, the owner of the watch confirmed without hesitation he now definitely plans to sell it. While highly sentimental due to its connection with his deceased brother, no one can fault him for wanting to cash in on a copy watch for sale that he never wears.
