I just recently notice that on the back of my Speedmaster reduced watch, there's no serial number engraved. Should there ALWAYS be a serial number engraved below the Omega sea dragon as in all the photos I've seen? Could my watch be a fake Omega? Thanks
Does anyone know what's the official weight for a pre2000' Speedie reduced with a 1143 movement is? Mine seems a little on the light side beside missing the serial number below the dragon. Paid around 1K for it years ago and suspect that it might not be real
Weight doesn't matter, it can vary too much depending on number of links and amount of polishing, pictures are what will tell
Just take some photod and I will tell you right away. I've sold all variants of the reduced model. Also a movement shot too.
Thanks George. I'm waiting for its return from a buyer in TX. I'll post some photos soon. I had it for 10 years without noticing anything about it until now. The buyer insist that It MUST have the serial number engraved on the back for it to be real. I'm beginning to have doubts myself so the I'm taking the watch back just to be sure. Hoping it's the same watch that I sent out Keeping my finger crossed til then.
All is well! After several tries, the potential buyer finally saw the lightly engraved serial numbers on the case back. He kept insisting that there's no such numbers on the watch anywhere. Gave us both a scare. Thanks to all the help. This is a truly great website for Omega lovers such as myself and I'm glad I googled and found it. Cheers
