··This Space for RentReal Speedmaster - yes
Speedmaster Pro -- no.
Need a dial, case, hands, strap/ bracelet, and likely a movement. Basically you need to assemble a replacement watch from new parts. Seems like that would cost more than just buying a new one.

I've got quite a few parts. And expense isn't really an issue, I was curious as to its authenticity. It was a gift to me by someone.
Costs for parts and service would likely get you near the price of a used one if it is real. I'd be concerned about the movement being exposed to air for so long.

·From those pictures I would not call it real... These where faked to a high level. That being said, are you sure there was a red "Speedmaster" on non moonphase non pro models? or it should have the ZO2 wording on it.

·might as well just send it off to Omega and see what they quote you to repair it. If the bill is more than a used one (entirely possible) then you know what to do with it.

·I don't have any at the current moment, It belonged to my uncle and its currently shipping here with a few other items. I'll be glad to share any photos you want when it gets here!
Could be one more or those uncle’s watches. Following along to see what it is once you receive it.
