J JebjrazI have an Omega where the back has the first watch on the moon, Nasa and whatnot but it says seamaster instead of speedmaster. The front says speedmaster 1957. The bracelet says speedmaster professional and 455B1. Fake? I'll try to post pictures tomorrow. Hard to take a pic of the back with the bracelet on. Thanks!
Anything to check on a potential Speedy purchase? I’ll be seeing it in person prior to purchasing
What are your thoughts on it?
Buyer seems legit - he’s local to me. He has a receipt from purchasing it in 2019, no box, but both cards look good with matching serial on the lug. I just didn’t know if there are any good “tells” to look out for. I assume the serial, and maybe the omega mark on the hestalite?
That single photo is of horrible quality, but the watch is real. I see no tells.
I am curious though, recently you have shotgunned a variety of different watches asking if they are fake without providing any of your own insight. Have you spent time researching any of these watches? I ask what your thoughts are, because sharing what you have learned, and your reasons for thinking a certain way, will help your confidence grow in determining real or fake.
A aasaeediThanks in advance!
The watch in those photos is real 👍. Honestly, Snoopy fakes are horrendous and are really easy to spot. It’s not just “off” colors but just everything about them is horrible.
A aasaeediThank you for your response. That makes sense. I cam across 2,3 replica varieties and learnt about their tells. But then I realized that they were from 2021 and 2022, and thought to myself that they are probably getting better everyday.
If you intentionally search for counterfeit watches, you should be aware that many counterfeit sellers will actually use pictures of genuine watches in their advertisements. Not all but many do.
As for “getting better every day”, that is true for counterfeits of sought after genuine references such as Rolex Subs and Omega Seamasters. However, even the best of those watches fall catastrophically apart once you look at the movements. That said, I have yet to see a convincing fake Speedy. Even the most current ones are 👎

More nonsense from Kazakhstan.

So are yall saying I should or shouldn't buy the snoopy from Kazakhstan for like $2500 🤪
The bogus eBay link in your quote is for the newest Bond Seamaster, not a Snoopy. Just to clarify, the images in that listing depict real watches, not fakes. The listing itself, however, is a complete scam. The seller isn’t actually selling watch but the idea of a watch. They will take your money and run.
Yes, the same sellers list a snoopy for 2500 under a different name. Sold it multiple times.
