I am no Speedy expert, but from what I know about reps I am pretty sure that those pics are of a genuine. Unless it is quartz?

(EDIT)

After a little research I am almost certain that the link you posted are actually pics of a reduced genuine speedmaster.

Heres the gen...

Pics are of a replica. It appears to be just the standard seagull handwind movement found in common moon watch with display back. Just that this one has a closed caseback.

Speedmaster reduced uses an ETA 2894. To date, there are no secs @ 3 movement (with the exception of the 7750 @ 3 but never used in this watch, but that will run you at least $298)

The sea-gull handwind versions have the running seconds @ 9. Plus, the subdials are spaced further apart.

This is just a 21J faux chrono.

This is the one you want, right?

I agree that is faux chrono, notice the subdials dont move but the seconds do, also the speedmaster reduced would not fit that case back AFAIK, also look at the state of that bracelet, if it is a tenner then ok but not worth much more.

If you are anal like me, the engravings on the caseback are ONLY on the Speedmaster 42mm hand-wind versions.

There are two kinds of casebacks: displayback and "nasa-qualified".

If you want the "speedmaster reduced", it's a plain caseback with the seamonster engraved.

Looks like faux-chrono to me. Avoid.

Guys,

I sincerely think that the Nasa case back is only on gens.

I had to buy one (genuine) for mine.

My old factory Speedmaster came with a display back.

And at the price the OP is saying it is, it's for sure a faux chrono.

To find an "Old" version, I'm pretty sure only a member could sell you one.

Cheers

Stephane
