Found this on a swiss auction site. I know that there are clear tells for fake Speedmasters, but would like to have an opinion from the specialists here. Is this a gen Speedmaster?

Would appreciate your opinion also if it‘s as clear as it could be for you :)

Looks gen to me. It’s also very unlikely that a Swiss auction site would allow a fake Omega to appear on their site.

It‘s like ebay, but they don‘t have the possibility to report fakes :)

Looks gen to me as well. There aren't any Speedy Pro reps with proper subdial spacing. A short hour marker under the 6 is always the tell.

Thanks for the feedback.........bought the watch today for a reasonable price. I have to clean it and maybe refurbish the case, bit allover it‘s in good condition.

Gen and no reason to ask on a speedy as you can tell a rep immediately from a distance. There are some super frankens out there but even then quality movements have to be used. There are a handful of variations from a few notable watch comapnies but its all the same base movement. There are aftermarket and service parts that can be used for some of the watch but still mostly quality.

Congrats on the buy and just in time for the anniversary. A speedy is a great gen to have for the above reasons and the back story can't be beat. A well respected watch in almost any circle.

Thanks again for the great feedback. I have learnt a lot, which wasn‘t possible in gen forums and buyer guides.
