    I'm a complete newbie and am considering buying a Speedmaster 30 ref 135.007 off Ebay from an Argentinian seller. The watch is advertised as having a cal 286 and an original dial. Do you think it's genuine or fake? And is US 990 reasonable? Many thanks for your input.

    Watch looks to have a nice original dial. Case has been rather heavily polished. Original finish is long gone. Movement looks decent. Crown is a non-Omega replacement.

    Price is absurd. At least double the market value, IMO.

    Dial actually has a case of the bubblies...making the asking price all the more ridiculous. :eek:
