·Just bought this speedmaster for my dad and noticed the caseback looked more etched than engraved like some. Could someone tell me if I'm just being overly concerned or if I got scammed?

·4750 Euro, USD, etc? Is the bezel bent at 9 o'clock or is it distorted by the camera lens or pixelation?

·The letters look very strange compare to a real or original case back

·What year and Omega reference do you have for this watch ?
Compare it with pictures from Chrono24 or other sites from the caseback and what do you see ? Do they also have text on the side bevel of the caseback ?

·Hard to say without seeing in person, but the caseback does look crap. Here's one of my previously owned 1861 Hesalite moonwatch:

·I got it checked out by a local watchmaker with 5 stars and he said everything inside is genuine and the dial etc. He was iffy on the caseback as well. I wonder if this got frankensteined with a fake watch back?

·So no chance that it's a service case back?

··Melbourne AustraliaIs it possible that the caseback (flat area) has been turned down/skimmed for some reason?
Maybe to remove damage or markings?
That could explain the reduced depth/thickness of the printing.
Other than that, I can't see any problems.
