    I don't think people who are faking watches bother with watches that sell for 200 euro.

    That's amazing. Don't know how they're making any money. Thanks.

    It’s a perfectly fine speedy reduced.

    That's fantastic. I'm delighted! Thanks. Most of the reduced ones seem to have numbers on the case so that was the bit that had me worried. Did they put the numbers on at different years?

    They should have them engraved on the case but it’s likely they were removed when the case was over polished. The Reduced was never highly sought after and therefore not collectible, meaning they aren’t usually faked. The only issue with your watch could come about if you wanted Omega to service it. They need the number to verify it... but if you have a local and trusted watch maker service it, you’ll be fine. You can read more about the missing numbers here (archer is very trusted): https://omegaforums.net/threads/sho...reduce-dont-have-serial-number-on-back.75756/

    Hey All! I've been doing some research on this watch that's posted and I'm feeling like it's fake, but I'm no expert at all and wanted to consult you all!
    I hope you all are well.
    Best,
    Matt

    Not fake, just a tired watch with a horribly refinished dial.

    Wow! Got it... I was trying to find a match to any of the models listed on Omega's vintage search but couldn't find a match. Is that because of the poor refinishing on the dial?The crown doesn't go in completely, as well. Do you feel like it's worth 300 on eBay?

    Crown is incorrect for this model, that's why it doesn't go in.

    I wouldn't recommend this watch at any price.

    I suppose it depends how much that bezel weighs. Gold is at a high right now. Screen Shot 2020-07-28 at 5.14.20 PM.png
