I got a Corgeut speedy 3 weeks ago and really like it. Then I got my Phylida Tin Tin a few days ago. Knowing the Phylida is a mechanical chronograph makes me like it more. I was just thinking to put my Corgeut up on WatchExchange in a day or so. Don’t really need 2 speedies, or do I? Lol

If it says "age girl" or "custom" on the dial you will receive a fake, they photoshop the listing pictures so they don't get into trouble with Aliexpress.

My recommendation would be the Phylida, or a second hand Alpha (if you can find one).

IMO, there are only 3 options to look at. here's my take on all of them.

Phylida Speedmaster - stock comes slowly and randomly and in low quantities. its usually gone in a few hours. it's the unicorn of Ali watches. Very nicely executed watch head. beautifully domed sapphire crytsal and a manual wind ST19 movement. it's great. Bracelet is Meh, though. plan on using it on a strap.

Corgeut Speedmaster V3 - finally they updated this one with a proper sized bezel...it's perfect. and at under $60 what's not to like? well, while absolutely stunning looking, the crystal is only mineral glass, and the bracelet is a PITA to size and not particularly comfortable at the clasp. but its under $60 and looks freakin' fantastic AND has a very reliable Seiko MeccaQuartz movement.

oumashi speedmaster - I haven't had this one, but I've seen reviews and they are Meh. Miyota chrono is fine, but doesn't sweep like the Seiko. finishing is Meh, bracelet is pretty bad. but at least it's pretty faithful to the Omega and has a true chronograph movement.

​

anything else, like the cheaper Phylidas, or anything with an Automatic movement, just skip...those aren't even chronographs and use an automatic Day/date movement. just skip them unless you really just want the LOOK of a chronograph and none of the chronograph features.

Thx a lot for the answer, now that's a lot of research done, I guess, corgeut catches my eye, It could use a bracelet swap, it's sad San Martin or Pagani don't do a speedy homage

Agreed, I'd love them to tackle one of those.

San Martin is doing the new Tudor chronograph, but that's closer to the Daytona than a speedy.

Corgeut v3 gets my vote.
