    Hey guys, just found a pretty old watch and I wanted to know if it was worth anything before I took it apart. Omega Speed Master Professional, maybe 10-20 years old? That's really all I know. I'll try to open it but this is what I have so far. Thanks. 20200301_205612.jpg 20200301_210148.jpg

    The other guy said it's worth something, should I just go ahead and tear this open or just leave it.

    No idea what @timecube is taking about. This is a terrible fake. Maybe someone is messing with you.

    The guy who is ignorant of speedmasters gave you a deliberately vague response in light of his ignorance.
    The guys with better understanding gave you a much clearer expression of the watch's value.

    Which appears to be zero or less than zero.

    I have no idea what I'm talking about either.

    I’ll take it off your hands if you pay the postage, and enclose $50.00 with the watch.

    You guys are having too much with this. I'm just going to rip it open and play with the gears. Seems like it's a fake.

    I got it open, this picture is hard to take, gears are so tiny. I got my oily finger prints on everything so that's why it looks dirty. I'll take it apart more, clean it up and maybe take a few more pics. Let me know if you want more.

    Video of you smashing it with a hammer would be grand if you could.
