I received this Speedmaster Professional from my friend as a birthday gift recently. I told him I couldn't accept a gift that expensive but he insisted and told me not to worry about it.
I am not the kind of person to take nice things from people without giving something in return (sometime in the future). However, I suspect that the watch could be a replica as I believe my friend wears a fake Rolex watch himself. Could you guys help me see if this is real or not (note that I blanked out the numbers after 77XXXXXX)? You can see the movement in the clear back case and it seems close to the real thing (from the pictures I looked up online) but I am sure replicas are quite good these days.
Thanks so much for looking, I really appreciate it. Apologies for the flash from the camera (the watch itself is mostly flawless in terms of scratches, but my camera is a little dusty)...
