No, Steve, I think this model's trying vainly to…
In Response To: here's a comparison picture.. ()

Left Real
Right Fake

A few things that I noticed. ( I don't think these have been mentioned )

- Date wheel is the wrong colour
- The word Speedmaster is the wrong colour
- it looks like the original has a raised logo
- the sub dials are COMPLETELY wrong.
- TACHYMETRE is missing the accent above the first E.

basically, when you compare the pics side by side, NOTHING is right. except possibly the sub-dial hands )

No, Steve, I think this model is trying (vainly) to imitate the original Legend model:

Omega Speedmaster 3559.32 "Legend"
eBay Offering:

I would have gone to the trouble of posting a snap of the genuine article next to the eBay offering, but I figured I knew how to locate the original, maybe everyone else ought to try to locate it on their own (they need the practice)...

Now, do your comparision...
