·The number on the plaque in the box should match the number on the watch if I’m not mistaken.

·Number on the card matches the number on the case cover.

·Everything looks legit, as far as that can be seen on the poor quality pictures. But I’m no expert on spotting fakes. Does it have the subtly stepped dial which the FOIS has, and the Pro doesn’t? I can’t really see it on the photos.

·Looks legit. If the chrono works then it should be okay. If it’s fake, the chrono second hand will act as the time second hand and tick like a quartz. Also the hour markers at 3, 6 and 9 will be shorter than the rest if it’s not real. I’ve not heard of anyone saying the Chinese movements can run chrono - having said that I’m only going on what I’ve read previously and I’m no expert.

·It's supposed to have a stepped dial? Can't really tell. Waiting for more pics.
you can sort of see it in the pictures posted above. When the light hits the dial just right.

·There's a big scratch on the case cover underneath the edition number. Not sure why someone would try to open a relatively new watch. And for this I'm 2nd guessing it.
What do you guys think?

·I used "tough guy" in a friendly tone lol. I tend to ask lots of questions about things. Especially on authenticating a watch I'm not sure about. Brace yourself... I may have more coming. I'm on the hunt for the next one.

·Brace yourself... I may have more coming.
Edited to add for clarification- I too have asked for help on a prospective speedy purchase. I have seen countless threads from others similar to yours and my own asking for help. I would read through them hoping to to glean any info I could. Reading responses like “pushers are wrong”, “service bezel”, “service hands”, and any other number of responses without further info as to how left me with more questions than answers. I found it easier to start doing research on my own using credible sources (some even created by forum members)... that way next time I had a question I could pose it like: “this is everything I am seeing with this speedy. Is there anything I am missing or am I wrong in my evaluation?”
