: This Speedmaster BA is currently on offer on

: this model on the Omega site without a date
: window at 6 o'clock (like this one). Would
: that mean this is a fake?

That watch is fake, but...

Not finding a watch on the OMEGA website is NOT sufficient proof alone that a watch is fake. The OMEGA website does not have a complete set of all current or recent models.

So you did the right thing by checking here, where people know these models well enough.

Though the auction description of it coming from an untracable source is usually a dead giveaway that the watch is fake. Sellers of fakes often use lies and hide behind vague stories about the origin of the watches they sell.
