    This '67 Speedy is killing me http://www.ebay.com/itm/OMEGA-14501...966569?hash=item35f9f6c829:g:G68AAOSw--1Wp~V2Purchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network
    Thankfully the price is still fairly low. But his 'all-original' claim, and then his note to me indicating he has owned it since '89 and nothing has been done to it over that time frame, does not look believable when he appears to sell a lot of used watches. Only a few hours left in this one.

    I suspect some bidders may not know the bezel is not original. I wanted to report the item, but the limited choices in the drop-down menus don't appear to give me anything appropriate to select.

    Hi Fir.
    I'm newish but I'm going to try to answer this for you because the older crankier dudes are tiring of people showing up for info-
    ne'er to be seen again.

    The mods may move this, you should have started a thread in Vintage. This thread is for known fakes and fraudsters.

    T signifies Tritium, or lume which you don't have on your dial. You example has onyx markers and matching hands. The dial looks OK to me, but dirty. wrong crown. The movement caliber is correct but may have some surprises lurking, multiple screw heads are rusted out and quite a bit of residue, as well as deviation of colors on the movement indicating over polishing or tampering. The inside of your caseback shows the reference number, the SC signifies center seconds, the seconds hand is in the center rather than in a sub-dial.

    Stick around and you can find everything you need with the search function here and on Google search to educate yourself.
    Welcome

    Just wanted to confirm, as I've seen tons of Turler Omegas but never one with that particular text and hands. I guess the parts bin specials go WAY back......
