Re: Speedmaster Professional Chronometer...Real?

: Hi, there have been indeed some (very rare) Speedy Pro's
: "chronometer", in that they were fitted with a
: chronometre-certified version of the 1861 movement.
: If I remember right from Omega's own "The Moonwatch Book"
: one batch was produced as a limited edition to celebrate a
: specific company celebration, though I can't remember which one.
: Most of these were in precious metal such as platinum or red gold,
: and just a few ones in steel. Expect all of them to be quite
: valuable.
: I wish I had such friends as these giving away such gifts ;-)...
: Cheers.

To the OP (original poster):

We would love to see photos . . . or do you have model numbers?

Also, is there a serial number on the back of the lug (strap attachment point), and if so, what are the first two digits?

Is the watch manual winding or automatic winding?
Is the watch new or nearly new; or date from an earlier era?
Where is the watch described as "Professional"?

Answers to any or all of these questions will better identify your watch.
Speedmaster (without the additional description "Professional") are relatively common modern watches.
