Hi All, I have a friend ready to buy this for less than $1,000 and he asked for my advice. I have modest knowledge w/ Speedmasters but this is the 1st time I have came across this interesting white dial reference. I compared to many Internet images and the dial looks good to me, the caseback should have an Olympic engraving - and is wrong for this watch. Based on these pics, please advise if this looks good or to run.
Thank you so much.

Here's a pic of a real one



Note the subdials on yours are actually for date rather than time?

Notice how the bezel on yours is very shiny and maybe a big too big for the watch?

Tell your friend to hang onto his money.

 

SO TRUE - thank you!

This looks terrible... Obvious fake... Don't go near it

 

Sub dials are all to close together and that bezel is definitely wrong.

 

Thank you all - you saved a good friend $600. I suspected it was wrong however you all provided fact based judgement.

one of the few where I would say that the genuine one is not muuuuch better than the fake ... (and no its not b/c the fake is good)
