·Hello all! I have recently purchased this Omega Speedmaster bracelet ref. 1564/975 at a flea market. I don't know if it is a genuine piece, and would very much appreciate your opinions. Stamping layout is different from examples I can find online. STAINLESS STEEL marking is on top, ref. 1564/975 is in the middle, SWISS MADE marking is on the bottom, with the 62 certification stamp on the side rather than above the text. Link codes read GAE. Thank you!

·If it's a fake, it's a pretty good one. I'm seeing others on the web from reputable sellers that look the same. The 975 on just one of the end links threw me off but others are the same. My vote is real.

·To my eye, the movement looks like an authentic 8900 because it does not have this piece that is common on the counterfeits.

I see nothing in the photos to suggest a fake.

·Hello all!
The seller and I have agreed on a price - ready to pull the trigger! I am not a watch guy but Claude thinks it looks good and suggests I ask you fine lot if you think it has been Frankensteined.
https://www.chrono24.com/all/omega-seamaster-professional-200m-pre-bond-ref-3961061--id46546352.htm
To me it looks better than anything else I found from comparable models and for a good price. Any thoughts greatly appreciated!
I can also of course take it to someone local after receiving it for a sanity check.

·Thanks redpcar, a larger sized bracelet as a positive sign was definitely outside my wheelhouse
And thanks dsio, I did kinda wonder why the hands were still luminescent considering the tritium should be a few half lives in by now, so that makes sense. I guess some might prefer the original tritium patina. As long as it doesn’t make it feel spammy/Franken I’m fine either way

·Few weeks ago I started looking for a Quartz Aqua Terra 2517.50, and I stumbled upon one in Chrono24 from a private seller.
Could someone help out a bit if this is legit?
https://www.chrono24.com/omega/seamaster-aqua-terra--id46071868.htm?SETLANG=en_CY&SETCURR=EUR
Extra photos provided after:
Serial number and warranty card checks out, also the private seller provided a photo of the papers and watch with my name.
thanks!
