Fake or not?

I'm trying to prepare for my first Speedy Pro purchase. I've owned a Mark 40, and a reduced, but with the amount of fake Pros I want to get better at spotting things that are wrong. I almost got burned a couple weeks ago and was saved by eBay's Authentication. I think this watch might be legit, with the incorrect bracelet. I'd like to know members thoughts on it's authenticity and if there are things wrong, what they are. I greatly appreciate any and all feedback. Thank you. 1000005694.png 1000005695.png 1000005696.png

Looks OK. What do you see that worries you? That style of bracelet was seen from the mid 1980s to mid 1990s, the long S dial looks slightly earlier but that wouldn't worry me too much. There serial comes out at around 1990 so tallies with the bracelet. Looking at MWO, the long S is just about ok for the year.

I guess the long s/r dial made me start to wonder if it wasn't a marriage piece. Seller stated it was a late 70's watch, but I thought that it should be at least mid eighties, but I am just starting to learn things so your help is very appreciated.
