The seller has offered me a special price on this Seamaster Chrono but what should I counter offer? What is a good offer, everything works...

These are the only two pics I could get, a little light wear, black dial. Serial # begins with 78 so it dates around 2006 I believe.

Try researching recent sales on eBay.

Hard to know what to counter when we don’t know what the offer is.

Yeah, I didn’t know if it was appropriate here. Other groups kick you off if you mention prices.

Not here. Perfectly fine to share asking prices etc. It’s just expected people do a bit of their own research before asking for valuations.

Ok. $2500 is asking price.

For what it’s worth, I wouldn’t pay anything for a Speedmater 😉

2500 is not unreasonable, several have gone for $2,200-2,600 recently

Perhaps I'm stating the obvious but that looks like a Seamaster chrono, not a Speedmaster.

I like the hands but the seamaster chronos seem off to me. Still it’s what you like and doesn’t seem like a crazy price.

I wouldn't offer anything without better photos to properly evaluate the watch, incuding one of the movement. The two photos above are terrible.

It’s not fake. Just horrible photos and a rough example (and imho, not an attractive watch in general). Here is a better example for comparison.
