Omega Speedmaster Professional Authentic?
Hi there! I have someone trying to sell me an Omega Speedmaster, I have only seen the watch in pictures but I can't tell for certain if it's authentic. Everything checks out except one thing, the back engraving. There is an additional engraving "Professional" and "Moonwatch" as indicated below. I have never seen that on a speedy pro. Can anyone advise? The seller seems legitimate.
It's the reference: 311.30.42.30.01.005 Best Regards |

I've never seen that too... Interesting. When in doubt, walk away. These watches are quite common on TRF and you can get one easily from a trusted seller.

Have you searched that reference and looked at other images?

Thank you for your replies everyone! I decided to take a plunge and buy it. I hope it turns out authentic. It was purchased in April 2017 so this might be the newest "engraving". I have checked all the pictures and everything looks darn as hell authentic. Matching case to serial numbers, warranty card everything. So this might really be new.
