I like to ask opinion on this Speedmaster any red flags or no go on this deal? Seller wants 4350 and I know the bezel is not appealing other than that any issue? Sorry there’s

no movement shot though.

Looks like a solid and legit example. Good case, dial and hands. Sub 4K would be a good buy if you can pull it off. Good neo vintage vibe.

They are not supplying movement photos? Hmmm, I guess they spent all their money on very bright lights and did not have $1 left for a rubber ball 😀

I think the bright lights mask minor issues with the case (some minor pitting shows up in one of the photos, but it is difficult to see). The 'paperwork' looks pretty useless, as it is possibly (probably?) not from that watch.

Send me the bracelet! It’s an uncommon one that is universally desired. Nice ones are over $1.5k. With the correct endlinks too. 808s

As noted already, there is something fishy with the paperwork. It seems odd to redact the model ref unless you have something to hide. Personal details and even serial I kind of get but not that.

it’s a nice looking watch but it might be a put together set.

From the pics, I would say another Speedmaster from a japanese dealer. The watch has seen the polishing wheel to the mirror on some facets, prior listing, like they use to do. To consider and to factor in the price you want to pay.
