Hi Guys, is here everything legit? I think not! Seller says it is a 861 movement. Can you help me please?

It's a mix of parts from different models. Pre-pro dial, with later case, hands, and bezel. The case is also very soft.

Pretty sure the dial is a modern SL dial which explains the cal. 861

Mmh, not very attractive... Overpolished case, modern back with something which looks like a 321 dial, pre-professional period... Strange way to re-build a speedy...
Check the movement serial...

Ah yes, you're right. I always forget about the Speedmasters that aren't Professionals.

Maybe the reissue speedy with swapped hands, bezel, and caseback? Seems like a lot of work. I鈥檓 thinking it鈥檚 a cobbled together piece, and wouldn鈥檛 touch it without seeing the movement.

The case is extremely worn.

Nope. The so called Replica model from which this dial likely came used the 1861. That isn't a FOIS dial, that has the newer AML, this is the older logo as used on the Replica dial. This seems to be a horrible Franken with a very tatty case.

The bracelet is nice though, even though it has nothing to do with any Speedmaster.

You think it鈥檚 an Omega shark mesh or just a generic mesh bracelet?

Good call on the replica鈥檚 1861. But based on everything else I鈥檓 seeing here, maybe it has an 1861 in it? Either way $3k is likely too much. I鈥檝e sold one and seen other replicas sell for under $2.5k

Its the Omega seatbelt clasp shark mesh ref 1380/237. I love mine but sizing it is a bit of a bitch as as std it only fits up to a 7.2" wrist which is a bit small for many and the extension piece looks like an afterthought.

It鈥檚 the dial of the 2012 broad arrow model. The dial feet of the cal 1861 and 861 are the same

Yes, but still SL though. Never mentioned FOIS
No you didn't but you did mention the the 861 movement. No SL dial Speedmaster has an 861 movement but I guess an SL dial could be retrofitted onto one as you say. I mentioned the FOIS as that is another long index SL dial non Pro option, and explained why it isn't that since the logo is wrong The Trilogy SP also used a non T long index dial but that has darkened lume so its not that either.
