Real or Fake? (alien.top)

This guy is trying to sell me a 3510.50, but when he sent the pics, it had a clear caseback and I’m pretty sure that’s not the movement for a reduced speedy.

Thoughts?

Hilarious

The Speedmaster Pro is manual wind, there is no rotor on that movement, 5 second Google search makes that obvious

Speedmaster Reduced doesn’t even look like that, the subdial configuration is different, also obvious on a 5 second Google search. Plus the Reduced never came with a display caseback, and definitely not one that says COLUMN WHEEL (which the Reduced is not) LOl

Don't forget the "enamel dial".

Ye very bad fake. But the reduced is an automatic though, no?

This thing is hideous. Why do people even ask about these?

I guess maybe it’s because we don’t all have your level of sophistication and knowledge when it comes to watches….? 🤷‍♂️

"Column wheel" as if it was an incredibly rare piece

It looks like a modded broad-arrow. That's obviously a real frederic piguet movement, so $1850 is pretty cheap.

This watch is too new and shiny; the box and packaging well-done.

Verdict: Clone producer attempting to see how easily watch could be passed off as the real thing.

Also to my knowledge, reduced Speedy’s only have metal case backs, not display.

It is not a clone, it's a modded broad arrow, obvious from the movement. Its a real omega, and that's the box it came in.
