The other two are homage watches to this very first Speedmaster CK2915 and feature some of the characteristics that this watch has. One of them is the Omega Speedmaster ’57 Replica or re-edition that was in production from 1998 to 2003 and the other one […]

No contest on that. However my watch budget is not yet at 2915 level.....🙁

I am probably very very wrong, but does anyone else has any bells ringing when you see this CK2915 case. I have seen some of these original -57 models and none of those has this kind of etched cases. I used to own one Seamaster CK2913 -58 and its case was perfect. I start to wonder if this is another from Australia...

Don't shoot me but see for yourself this very good discussion:

I am sorry to say that I believe that the 1957 Speedmaster has a modern recasting of an original Speedmaster case. The shape and beveling is not quite correct. The steel is also poor quality. Poor recastings have those black marks on the steel. I would be very curious to see the serial number on the movement, although perhaps it is just an early movement put into that modern case. It is probably coming from the same place as the fake Polerouter Subs and fake Heuer Bundeswehrs.
