    Listing uses words like 'almost certainly' and 'probably' a prototype, so no certainty either way but I lean more toward POS. And yes, the price is crazy.

    Abouttime don't sell pieces of s--t. Their offerings have been discussed here before many times.
    And the comment about the Seamaster caseback just shows how ignorant some members are.

    The seller of this one has had access to huge amounts of Omega watches and parts for many years and I don't think he would be confused by a franken.

    I think he has described it as he sees it and would have no desire to ruin his business by selling crap.

    Interesting.

    Part Speedsonic, part MK3, part MK4.5.

    Wonder where it came from?

    Ok, so a genuine prototype. Would be interesting to hear some history.
    Personally I still don't get the price, but that may be just me.

    Hahaha, I'm a dumbass! I was thinking it was a watch-related acronym :mad:

    At least a dozen Speedmaster references have Seamaster casebacks.

    Out of curiosity, does anyone know if a Speedmaster Prototype exists? I've seen a few of the 'radial dial' prototypes but would be great to see if there were any "pre-2915's" in existence, even if it was at the Omega Museum.
