    Hello everyone, I'm looking for my first Omega Speedmaster Pro. I'm looking at one with Ref 311 30 42 30 13 001. I know the transparent back is not "traditional" but I like it. My questions are:
    1. All the information I find on this model say it has a brown dial. However, the watch I'm looking at has a black face. Does that mean it's fake or are their versions with black faces?

    2. What is a reasonable price for a new speedmaster pro of this type?

    Thank you in advance for any and all help.

    That specific reference should have the brown dial, not black. It's possible someone has swapped the dial out I guess.

    Cheers, Al

    Hi Al,
    Thanks for the response. That's what I believe as well. You can see the watch here, doesn't look brown to me and a replaced dial is not consistent with the description. This guy is in Kyoto and I live about 20 minutes from there but no time to go look at in person. I guess, I'll keep waiting. If it doesn't soar in the last few minutes, it seems like a good price, but I'm new to the Omega scene. http://www.ebay.com/itm/140912170056?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649Purchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network

    I'm sorry mate but that's a chocolate brown! Here's probably the best photo from the ebay ad that shows it.

    I have been looking at the prices on these and that one sold for about average in my opinion, the lowest I have seen one sell for was about $3,100
