    Dear All,

    Need Authentication on the Omega Speedmaster Chronometer watch. It was sold to my friend by a resale dealer.

    It has broad arrow and is a speedmaster racing from the Michael Schumacher edition.

    Can anyone tell me it's authentic.

    Reg,
    Ferns.

    There are no markings on the bezel?

    There should be, or how would the chronograph be used?

    I'm not certain but I think the watch might be a fake. It all looks a bit off.

    The watch is a crude fake.

    Dear All,

    Thanks for the inputs. I have informed my friend about the authenticity of the watch he bought. He is getting the dealer to take it back.

    Regards
    Ferns.

    Wrong bezel, wrong pushers, wrong end links (hollow not solid), engraving on rear look wrong and amateurish. Shall I continue? Are you the seller or just a bit misinformed?

    I am talking about the watch the OP posted. You have clearly misunderstood the point Foo2rama was making which was that the photo he posted is a genuine watch which the OP's seems trying to imitate badly. I would suggest you read the thread again before you fly off the handle. English can be tricky to master and misunderstandings occur easily as seems to have happened here.

    Ok I'm sorry then, I was sent a link to the image posted and all it said was 'pretty sure that is a fake of this watch',
    I presumed he was taking about the 18k Gold Schuey image which he showed as this was the post I was directed to.

    I am John Spellman the owner of the images from ablogtowatch and the watch was from my collection!

    Thank you- I had 2 of them but I sold this one on my eBay site and just kept the 1 in my collection as I have all of them.
