Hello everyone. I just want to get an opinion on the authenticity of this 2531.80 that I鈥檓 eyeing as it is selling for a bit lower than the usual market price. From the case back the serial number appears to be 80354275. Hope I can get some feedback. Thank you!

The insert bezel is not genuine, but the watch looks good.

Oh. What gave it away?

Would it make sense if I buy the watch and just have it serviced and request a genuine bezel from an Omega Service Center?

The genuine pip is in low level of the insert. The fake is the high level of the insert.

For me, make sense. If the watch is recently serviced, use a watchmaker service just for change the bezel for a genuine part.

Good luck!

I was going to report this
eBay item number:205791432445
But the report button seems to no longer exist.
Obvious fake

Now eBay has the endless scroll of shop similar listings.

Hey guys, new to Omega and looking to purchase a used PO (Ref: 215.30.44.21.01.001). Looking for thoughts/opinions on authenticity for this one. I haven't met with the seller yet, but don't want to waste my time if it's not authentic. Any input is greatly appreciated!

Hi everyone,

Looking to buy a used Speedmaster Sandwich, everything seems to check out but the Serial number is bugging me,
SN: A909990
Serial number on bezel and movement checks out.
Never seen a speedmaster with 7 digit number starting with a letter, will attach Photos aswell and looking at the movement everything seems to check out. All good or what鈥檚 the experts opinion ?

The watch looks good to me too, but the serial number does sound unusual. The person who can help with this is our esteemed member @Archer. Hopefully he can chime in here and clarify.
