    Looks completely legit to me. I checked and the serial number does match that model, so provided they actually send you that watch, I think you are fine.

    Cheers, Al

    Maybe ask for price range also most will let you know if good value or not. Save you over paying :whistling:

    Dealer or private?

    ( I don't know answer to above but others will)

    It's quite a bit cheaper than I'd expect to pay here as its overseas. The guy seems genuine & although it's a good price it still warrants that of a prestige watch. It's a dealer with good reveiws.
    This will be my first expensive watch purchase so don't want to get stung that's all.
    Is this a desirable speedmaster model?

    These are reliable, accurate, and robust watches. This has an Omega Cal. 1152, which is based on an ETA 7750. Easily serviced by any competent watchmaker.

    Is it as desirable as a Speedmaster Professional? no, not really, but that doesn't mean it's not a good watch.

    Cheers, Al

    Thankyou, I really appreciate your help.
    In your honest opinion, what do you feel what be a fair used price for this watch on the used UK market. I believe it's a 2003 in near mint condition.

    It's on e-bay with a BIN price of £949 or make offer, so why not make an offer 100 less and see if you get a counter-offer?
