    This one looks quite nice to me but I need more expert eyes to see if I've missed anything. I'll ask him for pics of the movement.

    Unfortunately I am not into the Speedmaster, since it belongs to another zone altogether, compared to the SM 300. If and when I have the funds, I would first get the SM 300.

    Only after that I will go for a Speedmaster and the one that I prefer will come without the word 'PROFESSIONAL' on its dial.

    Thank-you.

    It would be nice to see the bottom of the dial to confirm the T marks are there, although the crusty lume at 11,12 & 2 indicates the dial isn't a replacement. The hands look fairly new in comparison though. And I can't tell if someone's been too enthusiatc with the polishing or their photo processing.

    At E2800/£2400 it looks a little heavy on the price, especially if the hands are replacements.

    Too expensive and the hands are replacements and they chose the wrong hand styles too from the originals (these are shorter and stubbier than the originals which are also still available for sale).

    Thanks guys. I knew there was something not right about the hands. Didn't pick up on the fact that they are actually wrong! The dial and bezel look right though. The case does look a bit too clean.

    Yes, overpriced for sure. Bezel correct, dial correct but possibly over cleaned (looks like some of the lume is missing revealing the white paint marker underneath). Bracelet is not correct either, looks like a 1039 but is not a stretch flat-link (came in around 1970 ish, made for Omega by JB Champion - nice vintage looking bracelet and a bit stronger than the stretch ones, but not worth the same money!)
    If you can spend that you will definitely find a really good original example.
