Saw this - they're usually selling for a bit more than that... too good to be true?

Working order, no bracelet, but apparently fine otherwise...

doesn't it usually state co-axial and the caliber on the rotor....

and why are there two different watches pictured???

I smell fish.

 

For comparison.

 

Looks OK to me. Not sure it is a give away price bearing in mind the missing box, papers and bracelet. Probably about right since a full set wouldn't fetch much more than £2500.

 

The minute subdial bothers me between the two..

 

I think they may have used a stock pic for that one, but the leather strap photo looks more kosher..

The minute subdial seems to vary between longer markers at 10s 30s 50s or thicker markers at the 10s marks. Maybe they changed the dials at some point?

 

Dunno. Spacing between the Omega logo and word is also different. I don't know much about these modern ones, but they're are different dials...

 

Here's one on chrono24...

 

Definitely different dials. Hmmm.

 

Here's one on my wrist:

 

Does look legit.....

Aaarrggh! Looks like a good deal!

I think omega must have changed the dial at some point... there are enough of both types that I've seen on an image search.

 

You can just see it... just.

I find the lack of either an original bracelet/strap, and any of the cards worrying.

Golden rule of if it seems to good to be true, it probably is... applies.

Also, as with all things Speedmaster, if it isn't a 321/861 derivative the prices are lower, and the values don't hold... no matter how cool the watch is.

 

True but odd when you think about it. The 3313 autos are a better all round wear then the 1861 and yet just as thin. It seems peverse from one POV to prefer the have to wind your watch and consult a calendar. As for the plastic crystal, don't get me started!

 

Speedmasters, there is no logic.

 

Thanks everyone. Decided to pass. Still holding out for a 145.022.

 

From a value retention POV that is probably wise.

 

The serial number matches the model number. It looks legit to me.

 

Good spot Al. It took me a while to realise that the serial is listed in the Q+A section on the ebay listing.

 

Hmm - looks little too good to be true but at the same time it looks legit.
