Hello everyone, thank you in advance for your kind help.
I recently purchased from a private individual a very desired Omega Speedmaster Reduced full set, I kindly ask the most experienced with the distance limit if the watch is original or has something suspicious. I still have time to open a complaint in case there is some problem. Thanks again to everyone.

Looks OK to me. Made about 1994/5 from the serial number. Do the documents include any service information? Stand by for a bit of a shock if there is nothing recent.

Looks good to me, and agree that it's mid 90's. I had a 1997 one.

I wanted to take a picture of the movement but I can't open it without damaging it. I'm attaching more photos to be safe, can you tell me if I can be calm? thanks

These are rarely faked and certainly not well. There isn’t an off the shelf cheap Chinese movement that does what these do in the same form factor AFAIK. If there were maybe servicing would be cheaper. What concerns you about this one?

thanks for the explanation, unfortunately I'm not very expert. I saw that in other models. comparing other models it seems to me that in others the internal lugs of the strap are larger than mine (where there is the 811 code). also I received this guarantee card in the set but it is not filled in, is it authentic?

They made these in one form or another for 20 years, some variation along the way it to be expected. There is nothing at all wrong in any of the photos you have shown. What you should perhaps be more concerned about is when it was last serviced.

I saw that the seller left a receipt in the box, revision at a non-omega center. on the sheet it says "omega speed master reduced revision", total €290

that's not a full service, prepare for higher costs as a reduced needs the whole movement serviced not only the module.

811 is the code for the endlinks which is correct for that period. The clasp code 1469 is right too, mine which is a year older has the exact same. It's a good watch.

As above. Treat that with caution. Check the watch carefully if you can before buying. Could you afford to send it to Omega if it has issues? You might have to.
