Hello OF, I have been contacted by this person again offering me a watch. Wondering if once again anyone has seen these pictures before from someone else so I can report him. Thanks for the help. E.
Umm you know there are 2 different watches there, right? And one of them has a non Pro dial in a Pro case. Bezel looks fake too.
Ahh is that what it is? I couldn't put my finger on what was wrong but now you say that I see it. I wonder if they just photoshopped a Reduced to remove 'Automatic' but the bezel still looks odd for a Reduced too.
Totally fake watch. Look at the spacing between the subdials, the lume plot at 6 or the bezel... It's a POS, but scary nonetheless that they've started making fake vintage speedies
But that isn't really a fake vintage Speedy (depending on what you call vintage). The first 2 pictures are of a presumably real 105.003 Ed White, the second pair are of a totally different twisted lug watch which looks much more like a Reduced (crystal, dial spacing) than a Pro. It is either a modded (or Photoshopped) Reduced or a very poor fake which would be very easy to spot so not all that successful.
The spacing between pushers and crown plus the subdial spacing = Speedmaster reduced wit a DD-Piggyback Chrono module. Very obvious here. All in all I would rather let the seller eat this watch instead of only reporting him.
