FAKE

 

@lamboid it's completely fake. I assume you didn't do much/any research before buying?

 

Yet another reason why I think this thread should be stickied.

 

@lamboid

We can only help before you buy.

After you buy we can only dispense good or bad news

Sorry for your loss of hard earned money..

 

Any comments on this one?

 

@West Slope
With those pictures you are not going to get much.

What model is it supposed to be ? looks to be modern dial and hands

 

It is some wierd eBay listing....doesn't actually claim it is an Omega in the description which doesn't exactly give me a lot of confidence either, was just trying to learn more about fakes and Frankenwatch and what specifically looked suspect.

 

The dial looks wrong. It is a manual movement but the sub dials are too far apart

Seller knows it's fake and trying to get away with it by addin this in tiny font
"THIS WATCH IS SOLD WITH NO OTHER CLAIMS, OTHER THAN LISTED ABOVE. AGAIN THE PICTURES ARE OF THE ACTUAL WATCH"

 

I assumed so....sent him a note and he claimed to be unsure despite claiming to have owned it for a long time.

 

$100 Speedmaster with 3hrs to go says it all..

 

Always look at what else a eBay seller is selling, this gives you a idea of what to expect.

 

I think that is very good advice. I am more curious what specific issues you all see with the dial etc, the price was clearly to good to be true and if it was the real deal the auction listing would have said so.

 

Google Speedmaster Professional and compare yourself. Look particularly at the sub-dial layout

 

It's been removed.

 

I noticed, guess the report finally took effect (I sent one and assume others did also).

 

Here is a collection of the good speedmasters to help you along the way.
