Re: Major bogus fake Omega Speedmaster

Sorry to be harsh, but you seemed so eager wanting someone to tell you that -- despite the total absurdity of it -- that you might actually be able to get a real OMEGA SpeedMaster for such a totally inconceivable low price. You really needed a slap back to reality.

But if you really need to hear the proof... read the seller's description of the watch. It says they have QUARTZ movements and MINERAL GLASS crystals. That alone is 100% proof that is a fake. Those SpeedMaster models should have mechanical movements and either Hesalite or sapphire crystals.

Want more? The lack of "SWISS MADE" on the dials. Or the fact that one of them (not the one yin the photos imbedded in your posting) has TWO date indicators: a date windows AND a (probably non-functional) big red date hand.

So I go back to my original challenge to you. What did you REALLY expect for $75?
