·50 years that Omega is saying a Speed's diameter is 42mm.... I don't think 0,25 mm difference in thickness is a tell of anything...
My First Omega (Case is slightly thicker than spec?)

·Bph. And yes the weight would be wrong assuming you can control for missing link weight (if any)
To explain what I meant earlier, when it comes to fractions of a mm (a few tenths) you’re getting into variables like how snug the caseback is, how tightly you’re clamping down with the caliper, how accurate your caliper is, and how precise Omega’s own spec is. If it were off by a whole mm or even a half mm, I might wonder. But not the measurement the op provided. To me, that’s within “tolerance.”

·PS if it went through the eBay authentication process, I’d get it properly pressure tested at a boutique or AD, as they may have opened it up for inspection and I wouldn’t necessarily trust them to have tested it before sending it on to you.

··Seamasters Foreverthink I did read somewhere about the newest superclones using 3.5hz now..
That is unfortunate, thank you for the heads up.
I don't think this is fake either from what Ican see.

Evidently I was only searching for the closest boutique, but in fact there is an AD closer to me located in Destin, FL. I'll call them to see if they can pressure test it. I have to get some links removed anyway, so I'll kill two birds with one stone.

To be fair, the speedmaster case does measure 42mm, it's the bezel that doesn't. That's not the same as OPs watch, which should measure at 41.01mm bezel diameter, 13.88mm height, and 48mm lug to lug.

·Thank you all for your input here, I'm no longer concerned it that it may be fake based on thickness alone.

·It is a concern. I see so many replica watches sold in the Caribbean. Not really very good knockoffs. I sat next to a guy on the ship once. He had a lot of chinese knockoffs. So I worry about not getting a true watch, which is why I seek an authorized dealer if I can.
