·Hi,
I am hoping to buy a omega speedmaster 3572.50 to start my collection
I have found a watch online that I am very interested in (photos attached)
However, I noticed on the display back that the movement has a gold wheel on the top right. I know the sapphire sandwich models have a gold wheel in that position but almost all the 3572.50 I have seen have a rhodium grey wheel in that position. (photo for comparison also attached)
Is it possible for a 3572.50 to have a gold wheel in that position or has it been altered?
If it has been altered does that diminish its value or imply it may be a fake?
Other general comments about the watch also very much appreciated
Thank you!
