·Not that I'm looking (because I'm not buying anymore watches for a while), but how do you go about finding these? Is there a specific manufacturer? Reference number?

·Hello
Some time ago I saw this watch that intrigued me , It is a rather strange piece that looks like a Speedmaster but it is not an Omega , the seller info is that the case is a N.O.S. prototype made by Huguenin Freres (the same factory that made the Speedmaster cases) and it is supposed to be a discarded by Omega prototype made in the 60´s , it is signed HF inside the caseback like the Speedmasters , and the number 2960 engraved outside the caseback (I have seen pics of several cases and each has its own number).
Finally decided to purchase and I am really happy , I think is a very attractive and special piece and like specially the turnable grey bezel (even has a dot on 9 smaller inner one) , the fact that the case is exactly as the Speedmaster one (excellent quality , I think absolutely similar to the Omega one) , the red day color and also find the Valjoux movement really nice , I bought a grey perlon and a red stripe NATO straps for it and you can also see in the photographs with a 1450 Speedmaster bracelet
It is a pleasure to share some pics with you , thanks for reading and hope you like👍

·There has been one of these on Ebay off and on for a year or so, case only. I think the asking price is $750. I just saw it again last week. May still be there.
Just found the link.

·Very interesting.... prototype has been a widely abused term. Nonetheless, interesting watches.

·dear members,
my first post at this board...
The discussion about Omega cases on other types look intressting.
I have bougtht (not too expencive), 10 years ago, an watch with an simmelar case...
I loved the watch, but I do not have any other informations... Inside there is a Val. calibre.

·Resurrecting this thread to show you a build my watchmaker just put together for me, using this case along with speedmaster / 861 parts. The case never came with that original internal bezel, so has a standard speedy crystal. I think it came out well! The second image shows some nice dynamics in the sun from the glossy Bakelite external bezel.
