Hello,

I have a speedmaster reduced with the Marui dial. How do I know if I have a genuine Marui or if I have a regular reduced with a swapped dial. The seller stated it was a "3510.21" but how can I confirm?

Thank you,
Corey

 

Pics would be great!

 

Please see photos below

 

You can get an extract of the archives for the watch. That will tell you the reference and place of sale.

 

Given all the dials being put into 3510.50's these days, it is best to buy these with the original stamped warranty cards. Next best (free) thing is to register your email on Omega's website. Then log in to customer service and send them an inquiry stating that you just received this watch and want to verify the reference. Give them the serial number off the case back but do not make any mention of 3510.21. They will email you back and let you know the corresponding reference that matches the serial you provided. If it comes back 3510.21, you will know that its proper. They will also state that their response is not a guarantee of authenticity but still, their reply will be good proof of at least the serial matching the proper reference number should you ever go to sell it. Last option as mentioned would be an extract of the archives, but I do not think this reference is old enough for that nor will they provide that service in the US (if that is where you are located).

 

Only if the watch was made before the year 2000. If it was made after, they won't issue an extract.

If I look at the tech guide for the 3220, it was first released in 2004, so my guess would is that this watch is post-2000.

If Corey wants to PM me the serial number, I check it to see what reference it is for.

Cheers, Al

 

Thank you for all the help guys!!! I'll start by PMing Archer. If not simplymod you've got some great other ideas. Thank you both very much.

 

Based on the serial number provided, it's genuine.

 

Borrowing the tread, hope thats ok

In the process of buying a Marui watch but had some doubts about it being a redial. Sent an email to Omega with he serial and got the following information. Watch ref: 35105000 and case ref: ST1750032

This should mean that its a redial right? The seller is aware of the 35105000 reference but still insists the it's an original Marui watch and that there where a change of reference numbers during the Marui production correlating with the problems and change of movements.

I dont know if it's just my limited information about the different omega reference numbers that is making this utterly confusing or if the seller is unaware of the watch being a redial or just trying to get away with selling a fake. There has been no effort from the seller to hide anything about the reference of the watch and has been very helpful but it just doesn't seem to add up?

 

It's not an original Mauri dial. It's a watch that has had a dial swap done to it...so either the seller is clueless or is trying to rip you off.

Cheers, Al

 

There is another supposedly Marui Dial, black, on ebay presently selling from Australia for $1300 USD, ending today. I wasn't able to copy any of the photos, and there is NO photo provided of the movement.

Australia--unfairly, no doubt--makes me think of the fake sold by a disgraced--and now gone-- dealer. Just saying.

 

HERE is the frontal image:

 

This is not a Speedmaster Reduced - it's a Speedmaster date using the 7750 based movement, so a completely different thing.

Don't believe these were ever called "Mauri". The dial from this is from a 35115000, but the hands appear to be from a 35135000, so it's a bit of a mix...

 

I wondered----TY for the help. I couldn't add it up as completely genuine.

 

I used to have the Marui with cal 3220 and 175.0032.1 was engraved on the caseback.
Recently, I have bought Omega Marui from watch dealer but I didn't open the caseback for verification .
Afterwards, I opened it and found that the movement is 1140 (very old one) , 175.0032/175.0033 was engraved on the caseback, It seems to me that something does not look right , can anyone suggest how I can verify genuineness of Marui whether the dial is not swapped or not ? the best way is to order extract of the archive ,isn't it.

 

What is the serial number of the watch?

 

The serial is 53893695 , thanks you and appreciate your help to verify.

 

This is why you need to check:

Serial number: 53893695
Article ref: 35105000

Based on the serial number, this is a modded watch, not an original Mauri.

 

thank you for your help , it is just a bit bad news.

 

Not as bad as buying it for more than a modded reduced is worth...
