    Real Speedmasters don't have calendar dials, they have chronograph (stopwatch) dials.

    Your watch is pretending to be something like this.

    Its 100% fake, my recommendation is you throw it in the trash and chalk it up as a lesson learned

    If you're interested in buying a genuine Omega, there are some entry level vintage pieces in the $300 range that are quite decent for daily wear

    Is the word "MISSONS" (missing the second I in missions) on the caseback? These poor quality fakes always screw up the spelling of that word. You wasted $48 dude.

    I hear that fakes are rampant in Manila if what I hear from my colleague is true. You just pick what you want from a catalogue.

    Missing the MISSONS, were you?

    Uh, no genuine Omega will go for $48 bucks...unless you pawn the watch...

    Just has to be the real kicker after someone asks is this Legit and they have missed it..

    3 posts with but but before (it was only $48) the hope was there for a bit.
