From time to time (pun intended), I look in watchrecon for some watches that I already have just for curiosity.
I just noticed a Speedmaster Mark II in another forum (I'm unsure if is fine to repost the link here?) with quite a few issues:
a) The rear case cover is for a 145.034, instead of a 145.014.
b) The movement serial dates it to 1985 (i.e. 48.xxxxx), IIRC the Mark II was only made between late 1969 and 1972.
c) It says the watch was overhauled by Omega, but I highly doubt that Biene would return a watch with a mix of parts from other models.
From what I could see from the photos, it is a good looking Fraken-mark II and it should be listed as such. Plus, they are asking $3680 for it.
What you guys think? Is there a way to notify the admin of that forum? Should I even care (and hope no new Omega collector falls into the trap)?
