Hello,

i got this speedmaster offered today. i think its pre-moon but i have no idea and i am afraid that it is franken. seller asked for 8k. shall i go for it? (sorry, only 1 picture taken with my phone - we didnt open it up yet)

 

add "2915?" to your subject line and you will get some more responses. i can't see that being legit at 8K... but maybe i'm wrong. having not seen many real 2915's, I'm going to wait for the experts. If it's real, you had better buy it right away!

and i think we will need a few more pics, inside caseback, movement, etc.

 

That looks in amazing condition if it's an all original 2915. 8k would be highway robbery

 

Wrong dial if bezel and hands are correct for the case reference (which is unknown at this point). Need a look at the movement and case back to make sure nothing else is wrong. But whatever it is, the bezel alone is worth more than the asking price, not counting the hands set.

 

Where's William when you need him?

 

Watching the car crash in slow motion....

 

Now i would prefer to comment after seeing the back, inside the back, and the movement number. But I am impatient

Now the optimist in me sees a 2915 - even though we dont even have a backside picture.

The bezel is interesting - possibly genuine but more likely a repro. (DO90 !)

Hands could be old, but more likley newer, or even new (I am not good enough to tell), and relumed by the same person that relumed the dial.
Subdial hands look too long, = new

The pessimist in me sees it as very, very dodgy.

 

+ 1. Need more pics

... and those hands cover O Sp ....

 

I think the dial is no correct for that model. ¿ It should be T swiss Made T ?

 

Whether the bezel is original or not, it's obviously been placed on the case slightly off centre.

 

If joking, then fine. Otherwise, no 'T'

 

add 2915 to the title and you'll bring down OF. looking forward to more pics.

 

If it`s to good to be true, it most likely isn´t....

That said, still looking forward to see the photos of the back and inside

 

everything that can be seen in the pic is incorrect for a 2915:
wrong hands
(probably) wrong bezel (albeit not 100 % as nobody finally knows how many versions Omega issued then and how exactly they looked like)
wrong dial
wrong pushers.
Maybe there is a correct caseback with "2915"? Recently a correct caseback alone was sold for 5k, so finally it might be the right price with all the other parts

 

Assuming the hands have not been relumed, where do you suppose they could come from?

About the bezel, how many versions that you're sure are original/genuine?

 

Was I too quick in regard to the dial, if the reference turns out to be 2915-2?

 

@Magellan, the suspense is killing us here!

 

If the truth be told, I think nobody here can say for sure whether it's real or not from just the one pic.

 

one hell of an intro from @Magellan though... We need more!

 

The dial is definitly not from a 2915, non of the three versions. It is a later 2998 dial.
The hands are from the Broad Arrow Replica with vintage relume.
This kind of bezel with flying away dots at the bottom (especially at 110, 120 and 130) I have seen maybe two times, one on a very expensive sold 2915 at Christies a couple of years ago. The buyer told me then, that the museum had bid with him to the end. I personally do not think that Omega produced such an irregular not symetric bezel (some dots are close to the inner ring and some are not) but who knows. everything is possible. You only need to look to different adverts from those times and you see how different the bezels were shown. I personally have two clear favourites from which I think that they are both the real thing. But they never show up in the market without the watch. At least, I never saw them in many years.
