    Hi guys,

    I am new to this forum. I recently bought a pre-owned Speedmaster Reduced cal. 1143.

    It does not come with any box and paper. Just the watch itself.

    I need some help to verify if this watch is legit to have a peace of mind.

    I will attach the pictures below. Thank you in advance!

    I see no issues. For 100% you need to have someone see the movement. But I'd not question it.

    Looks fine to me, nice shape too.

    Thank you for providing lots of big photos, need to work on focus though.

    Sorry my bad was taking it in a rush.

    Was told that Omega AD charges for inspecting. Is it true?

    Frankly it looks fine, as already stated by the Omega Forum experts above …... but depending on your own levels of paranoia, personal OCD, and endemic insecurity

    Find yourself a local independent watchmaker ……Take it in, & just ask him to open it up to confirm finally

    Depends on the AD. I'll not 100% verify a watch without a movement shot. Like I said I see no issues. Your paranoia will very as to what assures you as proof.

    The reason for this is theoretically the movement is not correct, the odds of this in this watch I would assume to be nill to non existent. But it's still an omega branded eta 2892-a2 with a piggyback module for the Chrono with an insanely small chance this watch has had it swapped with an eta 2892-a2 from another watch.

    Okay noted! Thank you very much for your assistance.
    I will bring my watch for a polish and just a quick look in it as well.
