    Do you have some extra level of expertise regarding the variations of dial and bezel colourations that members here that have been collecting these watches for many years don't possess? You're making a lot of noise without showing any credentials.

    I quoted my sources and the members here have yet to prove otherwise. I fully admitted I was a newbie, and would appreciate if someone could prove that these model were not re-dialled and/ or re-bezelled. Unfortunately, the rules of this thread prohibit any learned members from posting. I own a dark chocolate 145.022-69, so the pumping up of the prices on these could financially benefit me, or if the market were flooded with artificially aged version then vice versa, instead I chose to ask and even suggested the start of another discussion thread.

    Naturally, you have the same option; to prove me wrong in another more appropriate thread.

    Why in the fuck are we having this discussion in a thread about obviously fake watches.

    You have the option to move the thread to a discussion about potentially fake watches, or to prove that they are genuine and I will remove my posts. From the Speedy Tuesday reference material, these are "obvious fakes". You chose to troll instead of research or follow a differing path.

    Because some dickhead has read a few articles on the interweb and is convinced he owns the only legitimate chocolate dial 69 in existence.

    Nope, I believe there are many genuine chocolate dial 69's just not the ones that listed that do not match the reference materials and I am waiting for someone to prove otherwise rather than being abusive and trolling. You have that option. You have the option of purchasing 69 if you wish to pay an extra £5k too, I'd be ever so happy to oblige your ego.

    The answer is on this forum https://omegaforums.net/threads/chocolate-speedmasters.15253/ where the ones I listed on eBay are fake, or at least redialed or rebezeled in the second case.

    If you would care to note that every chocolate model has a DON. So this "Dickhead" spotted three fakes (or at least misrepresented) in a day and yet your combined expertise did not spot the "obvious". That's a crying shame.

    Back to our regularly scheduled programming. This along with the broad arrow shown below show a disturbing trend. Can only assume this is an Asian clone of the 7750 has been turned 90 degrees like the Omega 3330. A few more details and this would be a rather convincing fake.

    Perhaps I should read the description a little closer. This is a 7750 type with the seconds pinion cut off and dial glued on. Either way FAKE! Still wonder if the date works.

    Is that last one just a fake Omega dial put on the front of another watch brand?

    Reread the title of the thread. Hint: Last 3 words.
