Hi,

First time here. Just want to check if this speedy reduced is legit. Thanks!

Just received this GM. The back has an engraved serial and no misspellings. The tiny Omega logo is visible in the center of the crystal when viewed at an off angle. Is this legit?

The hands don't look gold to me.The hands look as if someone tried to stain them to match the lume on the dial to me.😒

Was the last person to sell you a watch a total arse hole that ripped you off and doubled his investment... NO?
well then why the hell would i be?

Without me (and of course others like me.. (small independent businesses)) That watch you love... yea that one... in your collection that took you 12 years to find but you always really really wanted, so you didn't mind paying that "little bit extra" for, because you "finally" found it would not be your precious watch. It would be in a landfill you prat.

I dedicate My Lifes work to finding restoring and selling vintage watches that would otherwise be lost to time without sellers (Small independant businesses) like mine YOU thats right ALL OF YOU would be limiting your precious OF forum to NEW watches sold by Omega and Overpriced over polished "popular" watches over at Watchfinder. (or your USA equivalent)

Yes i am a dealer but YES i am open about it!
I dont Lie to you I post here Not only my Sale prices but the prices I FOUND stuff for too.. Im a collector Just like you but i LOVE watches so much i made a small business out of it so i can do it ALL DAY LONG

SO why all the hate?

Where for the Love of god did you buy your watches from if not small independent retailers LIKE ME www.fullywound.co.uk , DLT222 , http://www.welwynwatches.co.uk/ , http://www.ebay.co.uk/usr/alex200373

aghem, *clear throat* to quote the book of revelations and proverbs of the all knowing lord tyrannical menace the first..

"We still haven't seen any pictures of your "fake" watch. Put up or shut up."

legit but aftermarket bezel insert? a bit too modern for our expertise but your serial numbers are all in the right place..
the back logo looks a bit "washy" faded but maybe it was just worn a lot / maybe its the photo...
front looks clean for a watch that was worn so much to wear out the back but maybe its been repolished and that would explain the bezel swap
looks legit to be honest but not the best watch in the world it would need to be quite a cheap buy..
not standard "full price" second hand

before someone criticizes the critique of the bezel insert...

Past 40 mark it would need to be a heavy wide but sharp blow to take that much paint of the genuine but the fakes scratch easier. for being such a wide thus blunt blow there does not seem to be a dent.. the genuine ones and the fakes do dent pretty easy...

the lume dot looks too large BUT this could be your photo and how the light hits it... Double BUT the gap in the white band that goes to bottom point of 12 position arrow is too narrow genuine inserts have wide gaps at the bottom that oddly look fake..

last point after market but genuine saphire not "factory standard" for this model crystal... i only say that because we had the one and from experience (with a camera and this crystal) it's hard to take pictures of this as the ar saphire is Stupidly blue your looks too clear for the genuine coat? too easy to photograph as you dont seem to be trying to hard to negate this.. and it just dont look too blue...

but maybe its me again maybe they did do a clear coat as well as the blue AR we just did not get that one..

straps legit... straps... bloody straps
