·I don't think you can conclude much from that (vendor's?) picture. Who put the Evil Eye in that sub-dial at 6? However the bezel on my 5455xxxxx Reduced is still in very good shape. I would worry about the loss of lume in the hands though.

·I too have a Speedmaster reduced. I’m not an expert, but from the look of the rest of the watch, I’d say the bezel could very well be original.

If you run a search for this model of the Reduced/Automatic on OF, I think you'll find that they go up for sale for a little lower than that. There were a few of them that went up for sale in the later part of last year. (although I have only seen one that I can remember go up for sale this year on OF)
You'll want to budget another $650 - $750 to have it serviced; as most all of the used ones on Ebay will be in need of a service. Omega charges $750 USD, you might be able to find an independent watchmaker to do it for a bit less. My independent was right around the same price as Omega (within $40).
I think that's a bit high, especially considering the hands are in pretty rough shape.

·No go, cause of see-thru hands?
I figured, my watchmaker can relume the hands to matching patina when serviced.

·Fuzzy pictures, obviously manipulated in one case [*], poor hands, price rather high, You should sit down with a glass of herbal tea [**] and relax. A better one will be along soon.
[*] The photos are .webp format which are a pain to grab for editing otherwise I'd show you the manipulation.
[**] If those herbs are legal where you live 😎
