I have yet to meet an unfriendly and mean scammer

You don't watch enough Scammer Payback videos. Those guys say some phrases in hindi that would make a NYC garbage man blush.

That looks real. Real fake.

Nobody really drops the price of a quality watch by that much unless he is sat outside a casino.

Or its not real and is looking for someone gullible or stupid enough to buy it.

Or it’s stolen and someone needs cash really fast (drugs?).

Get me the serial number on it and ask a dealer to verify it. Also bring it to a AD if you can and they can check it pretty quickly. If you don't have a dealer nearby at least get the numbers and call Omega.

I found this speed master on Facebook. I have not clue if it’s real or not. He wants $1000 he recently cut the price from 3k. The watch does not come with box and papers. Would probably needs a service. The seller seems like a semi decent middle aged man. Any opinions on this.

When it looks too good to be true that is a sign that it is not. Stolen watches can be offered at big discounts because they reflect what the seller paid which is nothing but his time during a burglary or whatever. This watch doesn’t look that genuine for that matter, wonky dial.

Not what I meant, but that’s not a bad approach either. I meant, generally speaking, if one is not well versed enough to spot tell tale signs of a fake, for their own sake, they really shouldn’t even be trying to buy a naked pre-owned luxury watch through a private seller to begin with.

I see now. That makes sense. Sorry about that

It’s actually a decent fake tho. Offer him $250. If you don’t mind wearing a fake.

You want the OP to participate in an illegal transaction? This isn't a "decent fake" - it is an obvious counterfeit to anyone who has seen a Speedy.

Imma pass this one and from this some one mentioned that I should educate my self on reduced speedmasters before blindly buying from non reputable sources.

Oh yea.. I’m extremely concerned about the OP getting busted for buying a used fake watch. I’m sure the FBI will get right on that. Lol 😂

It’s decided, imma pass thanks to all that responded.

Good decision. Often when one lets price drive the purchase, not the love of wanting the watch, usually ends poorly.

Very true, but “thewatchidiot”…are you the YouTuber?

Yeah, you're right. It isn't a big deal 18 U.S. Code § 2320 - Trafficking in counterfeit goods or services | U.S. Code | US Law | LII / Legal Information Institute (cornell.edu)

No I’m not.

The better to dive deeply....

The writings on the bezel aren't aligned, the data is off center, what else do you need?

 

[01alam]

That nice middle age man could also have been duped by the guy / gal he bought the watch off from...but again he could be the mastermind behind an international fake watch cartel...who knows...
