Fake Omega From Reputable Seller?
I bought a new Omega Speedmaster from a well known seller but I have my suspicions it might be fake. Before confronting seller (they would accept the return based on reputation) I wanted to get your thoughts as I am not knowledgable with Omega. In the photos I included my Broad Arrow to compare. One flag is the serial numbers are in different directions between Moonwatch and Broad Arrow. Other is that the serial etching is also different style. Also the bracelet seems less substantial. Lastly the chronograph movement on Moonwatch which cant be pictured seems more ticky then sweepy like it is on Broad Arrow but that could be intentional.
Thoughts? https://imgur.com/a/vrpsZhB more pics

Forgot to mention the Moon Watch feels like it weighs less than Broad Arrow

Can't tell anything from the very blurry pictures, however I have a couple thoughts on the points you are questioning. The first being the hand being more "ticky", the cal 1861 in the moonwatch beats at 21,600 VPH as opposed to the coaxial Broad Arrow movement which beats at a faster 28,800 VPH... so the slower the beat, the more jittery it appears (normal).
The engraving type for the serial number has changed over the years and most recently is minus the black hue present in older models. The serial number facing a different way really doesn't mean anything other than it's a different watch produced at a different time and that may be how it's applied now. Hope this helps a little. |

Your photos are worthless; I will say that you are not comparing "like" examples, except that they are both Omega products.

I may get it checked by an AD before assuming anything is a fake.

I don't know why the photos are blurry, they are clear when I upload them.

Have a dealer check it, I’m sure it wasn’t done on purpose but still doesn’t mean it can’t happen steve |

Update for those who care, I went to Omega Boutique today and their expert inspected it (surpisingly for free) said it's authentic. Thanks for your help everyone.

I mean the good news is, I do not see that the speedy pro is overtly faked as much as say a Rolex. To be sure there are plenty of franken speedy’s out there but if you go through the effort of faking I mean a good fake too with hang tags, boxes, papers. If you have that ability it’s far more profitable to fake a Daytona!

It looks good to me but if you any doubt take it to an Omega AD and have it inspected.

That looks like a perfectly healthy new baby boy Speedmaster to me. Wind it, wear it, and enjoy it

I'd say the seller is still reputable and you are a nervous buyer. Maybe a first time buyer.

Nothing fake about that plus there is no fake movement that matches the dial spacing in existence.

I think the watch looks legit. Nothing stands out. Did you get box and papers?

looks Good to me as well. as far as i know, there are no high end fakes of the moonwatch pro. the ones i have seen are way off, the sub-dial spaces are an obvious tell. one of the few watches they havent perfected IMO, which i am sure will change very soon
