    Trying to figure out if this is a franken. Being called a late 80s 145.022 but seems to me an early 90's 3590.50. I'm not great with the micro differences, but tachy seems right for the early 90s, as does bracelet. 17j 861 movement is around then too, but the case and movement numbers don't match. 48295xxx case and 46284xxx movement. Some say these ALWAYS match, other people say they won't until the late 90s or 2000s.... Tons of organized info out there on the "vintage" Speedys, but the guides seem to get uninterested by the late 80s onward. Which is where my interest lies haha

    Well there’s not a whole lot to go off of... With that said, there’s just enough to tell that it’s most likely fake

    Got this box used as a "genuine" Omega box from a trusted seller in the UK for my Speedmaster. Is it real? I have compared it to my 100% real Seamaster box and there are slight differences, but again, they are not from the same decade. Any way to be sure?

    I didn't buy the watch. He would not come down a bit in price. The watch has some significant scratches.

    I saw one recently that looks all right. On the other hand I'm not sure.

    I’ve found this guy who wants to sell me this. Just need a bit help verifying. Things seem to check out but I’m no expert. All help would be appreciated.
    Additionally- if it’s legit- what do you think is a fair price for its condition?

    Good afternoon all.
    I’m looking at buying an omega watch, I’ve looked at various watches over the past few weeks and I’m just trying to gain as much info as possible. Any help on the attached would be much appreciated. Unfortunately this particular watch doesn’t have box and papers sadly which obviously I would have preferred. The watch does look good to me and in reasonable condition all be it, in need of a clean that said I’m certainly not an expert. If you have any reasonable idea on year and price range that would also be helpful. I’ve input the serial to find the date which comes back as 2006?? Thanks in advance.

    It may be real, but the bezel at the very least looks off to me. 2006 seems like a realistic age

    Thanks for your response. When you say off what do you mean, alignment or completely wrong. Thanks.

    Based on what you said I’ve checked the bezel off against other watches of that approximate age, and I think the numbers on the bezel seem more compressed if that makes sense and less proportionate. Is that what you were thinking or am I missing something else. Tbf I didn’t notice that until you questioned the bezel.
