··Vintage Omega AficionadoThanks for your reply. Do you think 667USD is fair enough? Thanks again. Lizzie
You should be able to do better than that, not more than $500, but probably less.
Is this watch real or fake thread - aka Fake Busters!!

·What do you guys think of this speedmaster. To me, it looks mostly good, but I think the price is a bit suspicious... it looks like it’s all there, but the minute hand length is throwing me off a bit in the first picture.

·I can't seem to find this particular model anywhere. Any feedback ? Most seem to have a serial number on the case back or quartz written on it.

·Buyer beware. From guy on my Facebook group.
Fake Omega 9300 Speedy. It even has the globe and serial number on the lugs.
Totally fake. That is a Valjoux 7750 inside. It should be an Omega 9300 movement which is totally an in house Omega movement.
What’s scary is the back and front crystals are still sapphire and the case/bracelet are nearly dead on for the real thing.
So what tipped the guys off? Using a loupe, the buyers friend notices the burrs.
"It was the burrs on the movement that made me curious. Then I noticed that this watch didn’t have the single hour advancing hand with the crown in the first position like the normal 9300.
I asked the guy if my watchmaker could check it out and he agreed.
That’s when my watchmaker noticed the screws that shouldn’t be there."
A guy bought it on EBay from a seller in the UK
Thought y'all might enjoy this

·The balance wheel is in the wrong location, and that should have been visible via the display caseback. No disassembly required. 😀

And the dial + subdial hands are completely wrong. The date seem to be sunken too deep below the dial as well.

Not sure what you mean. The main alpha hands appear to be correct, although there isn't enough detail in the picture to be sure (hour hand is hidden by the minute hand). The dial seems to be fairly close, although the steps around the date window seem to be too small.
The bezel is too wide, and the crystal appears to be plastic, although that could just be the lighting.

The lume strip on the minute counter is wrong, for one thing. And the dial is different from the original in a lot of ways, which although not significant by themselves, add up to giving an impression of wrongness. Is that clear now?
