Is this a genuine Speedmaster Reduced?

[kesj]

Hi all,

Would love if an expert could have a look at the video of this Speedmaster Reduced to see if it’s genuine. I couldn’t find any replicas online, but would be great to get this acknowledged. Unfortunately I couldn’t get a photo or video from the open back and movement.

Sure.

I joined the forum in 2019, bought a rep here as well. But I understand your point about the link. I will upload the video on YouTube and add it to my OP. Will add some photos too.

Can’t edit my OP on mobile, will check it on desktop later today.

But here are some photos and the YouTube video.

Yes, it’s a gen but you have to change the plexi.

It has some scratches indeed. Maybe a treatment with poly watch could help?

Thanks for your message btw, much appreciated!

Late update:
Took it to an Omega certified repair store and they confirmed it’s a gen. After a few minutes of polishing the plexi it looks much better now. There are still some scratches (the deeper ones in the bottom in the middle), but somehow you hardly see those.

It runs great. Let’s hope it stays like that for a long time to come

Wear it in good health! The Speedy Reduced is actually on my wish-list for 2023. I really really like this model (i prefer it on the bracelet but that's a matter of personal taste)

Thank you my friend! It is a lovely watch. I am sure you will love it once you have it. And yes, I will go on the lookout for a bracelet. It’s on a black nato now, which I also like. Have a great 2023!

Please post some cleaned up pics too. We want to see how it turned out! Congrats!

 

[numero2]

Congrats. If it's not too personnal, how much did you pay for it?

Congrats on the reduced! It’s an awesome piece & with its diameter of 38mm fits smaller wrists so nice!
Some eye candy as a bonus:

Quick way to tell that it is gen - continuous seconds is at 3 o'clock (pretty unusual) and the pushers are on a higher plane than the winding crown, since the chrono is a module. Enjoy!

Looks good to me. Would like to see a nice rep of the Speedmaster Reduced. Closest I've seen is a Speedmaster Racing, but that's still 40mm.

Here's a link to an aftermarket bracelet made for the Speedmaster reduced. The US1171 looks very close to my gen bracelet on my reduced Speedmaster.

Congratulations on the purchase of your new watch! It's an amazing piece and its 38mm diameter makes it perfect for those with smaller wrists. I would like to try one on one day!!!!!!

I’ve never ever seen a replica of an omega speedmaster reduced, I have 2. As stated plexi has to be changed one of my favorite watches. Alittle small for me but live it
