Yes:
Hands are too short
Hashmarkers between minutes indicate it should be a cal 3861 dial but no DON bezel

Normally the subdial counters are the easy tell on fake Speedmasters but surprisingly these are what I expect on a real Speedy.

Sorry for not the best quality picture, but I have only this one.

Thanks, you saved me 1500 euro. I really want original Omega, but can't afford one.

I agree something is off here:

For a 3861, there should still be small hash-marks under the bold 5-second intervals, rather than those markers going all the way to outside of the track.

Also: the chrono-hand is incorrectly a square-end one

This one is a little scary to me - I first thought it was okay, but then after the comments I did start to notice the problems. Besides the other problems noted, the lume markers are too long.

Speedmaster fakes are usually quite obvious. The fact this one fooled me to start is scary. Glad I am done with buying expensive watches from sellers I don’t know and already trust.

The indices look to be raised under the lume, too.
Another telltale would be the bezel, it looks way off, all the numbers look to be the wrong font and too small.
