I have the same thought originally. But when I take a closer look, I saw some strokes at the end of the word Michael, and also the "h" of Phelps. But I know it's not very clear in the photo.
Anyway, thanks for your opinion.

Hi! ;)
I suppose you got this via Omega or Speedo?

It used to be authentic but I agree with Jason, it does look somewhat stamped. But if there's strokes of a marker, it can only be handsigned (or autopenned, but that's very unlikely in this case).

I think it's authentic then, but there's another feedback posted from him in the "Feedback" forum - you can compare to that scan. {thumb2}
Good luck,
zanne

hi zanne,

Yes, I've compared the one you mentioned with mine. I found that the dot on Michael's "i" is quite different from mine. So I'd rather say it's more likely to be authentic {thumb2}

Doesnt look stamped at all. It looks more like its been signed on an overly glossy pic and thats caused the ink to blotch like it has.
Compare to other examples and they're blatantly different, so its 100% handsigned, and likely authentic.
Congrats!
