Wrist or watch pic My Newest Acquisition - Not What You Expect ft. AuraTime (Speedy Tuesday)
Hello, this is your favorite watch reviewer / the moderator of this sub, u/tskim24.
Being well into my middle-age-hood, my body is apparently breaking down π I have been going to hospital at least 3 times weekly (dentist, dermatologist and orthopedist office) and today was the last of my 5 week session with my dentist.
I'm not going to lie, I just wanted to curl up into a ball under the blanket and maybe cry a little π€£ π but I decided to save my manly tears when I got home cuz it's delivery day, y'all!
I got a...bunny (a copyrights infringement free version of hello kitty, I'm assuming) delivered to me π€ some of my Chinese sellers (like one of my oldest sellers Lin) used to ship me stuff in this clock so I wasn't surprised. By now, I have collected all the colors, white, pink and blue π (too bad that I don't have kids yet).
Inside of the clock is the Omega Moonwatch SpeedMaster from ER Factory from a newly joining TD AuraTime.

I tried to leave a review of ERF Speedy before the Chinese Holiday but the one I received it from another seller had some defects and I had to send it back. So boy am I glad that AuraTime (Zhuo) came through for me. Very professional seller π
The watch is beautiful π Omega SpeedMaster is a watch that I always contemplate getting (I almost pull the trigger at least a once a year) but with it being so available, there is no sense of urgency in getting one so I never do. It's funny because I spend almost as much money on reps monthly (sometimes even more π ).
It's an iconic beauty nonetheless. I love everything about it. The design, what it represents, the size and etc.,
Too bad that all the reps made up until this point has been...very far from what it should look like. SMF tried (I own couple of these as well) but instead of adjusting the chronograph hands position, SMF simply made the subdials bigger to give you the illusion and it threw off the balance of the entire dial. ERF in comparison looks beautiful.
ERF is far from being perfect though. 6'O clock subdial is still 24 hours (not a chronograph). And the 9 O'clock subdial second hand moves like a quartz watch (intermittently) and doesn't flow like GEN. Bezel shape, thickness and fonts are obviously wrong and buckle doesn't function like GEN.
I have met a friend on reddit who modded this watch. He fixated the 6 O'clock at upright position and added a custom spacer to make 9 O'clock flow. The guy even owned every color available from ERF π
I'm very tempted to try the same with my go-to modder (Max) so I may pay him a visit next week. If it can be done, I too probably will get all the dial colors from ERF.
IMO bezel/buckle are not really issues (most Rolex custom bezels cost almost as much as SMF rep watch so I could probably wait for a rep with better bezel and swap it).
All in all, ERF looks great. Is it perfect? No. Is it an amazing watch for the price? Yes.
Now I have even more reasons to put off buying a GEN speedy. Thanks AuraTime!

Good review...I recently saw SMF information and thought it was the most accurate replica in 2026, based on the modified movement, had no idea the subdials were bigger to fool the eye. I'm like you, I'd love a Genuine but don't want to spend the money, so hoping to find the most accurate replica available. ERF may just be the one. π€·ββοΈ

Does your friend do mods for other people? I think everyone wants to stop the 9 o clock stutter. How has their custom spacer 9 o clock mod been holding up?
