Speedmaster above board?

[Jim Campbell]

Thinking about pulling the trigger on this Speedmaster https://omegaforums.net/threads/omega-speedmaster-... Im not missing anything obviously wrong with it am i? I figure as it's got the box and papers i should be fine.
I know this isn't the done thing on here but this is my first online second hand purchase so i'm anxious not to cock it up.

Im aware it's not a moonwatch.

Having seen this article i'm not worried about the size http://www.fratellowatches.com/speedy-tuesday-spee...

Think i will email them in morning.

The Moonwatch is 42mm and hand wind and the reduced 38.5mm and an automatic.

Nothing wrong with the reduced, but people are sometimes fooled into thinking they've found a bargain Moonwatch. That's why I mentioned it.

Might just be photos, but he says it's "mint", but it looks like the crystal, case and bracelet all have some marks to me, although close ups can be very cruel.

I see his email address is Hong Kong, though... Could be fine, but does he have a good rep on that forum? If so, nothing wrong with being in HK. If he's a bit of an unknown, I wouldn't gamble personally.

Point take about reduced v moonwatch, i appreciate the concern.

The seller has about a dozen ads on the forum and loads here http://www.mywatchmart.com/users/cf-ken/?page=3so i imagine he is ok.
