Hello, I came across this Speedmaster X-33 watch for sale, and I'm not sure if it's real or fake based on the available pictures. What do you guys think?

All good yes
Not all good at all…

This watch is entirely bogus.

Thanks @duc I was hesitant to chime in on this one first.

I've seen this on eBay listed twice being sold for a friend located in West Virginia who needs the cash.

The case back is not correct and can't even think of where it originated. At first I thought it was a standard Speedmaster case back glued over the back but lacks the notches.

Bracelet not correct as pointed out as well.

All the hands look off too but the watch head looks legit for Gen 1.

Someone has some splaining' to do.

Head seems correct for a Gen 1 X-33 but someone has some splaining' to do on the case back.
Head is 100% not correct, this is a well known fake. Pull up a real gen 1 X-33 and start looking closely at the hands, the edge of the dial, the bezel font, the shape of the arrows on the bezel.

Yea, I see that after a better look at it. I've seen some really poor executions of the X-33 this one is pretty good at first glance without seeing the case back and bracelet.

The digital module would probably show it's a fake instantly.
