·Hi guys and girls, I just wanted to get an opinion on a Seamaster 120 Cal 601.
I have read the 'how to spot a fake 120 guide' as well as many other similar forums, and have drawn up a list below, however I would also welcome further opinions/verification from those more knowledgeable than I.
My overall suspicion is that it's not the real deal, primarily due to the following:
- Dial and bezel looks too new
- Omega logo I believe is slightly wrong size
- Seamaster 120 and Omega writing being grey instead of white
- The 12 hour baton marker not being centered on the lume (difficult to tell from photos)
- Looks very similar to all the other fakes out there
That said, this is what appears correct, and hence why I haven't totally disregarded as a fake outright:
- Lume appears right colour (not yellow)
- Bezel appears to have correct number of teeth (although difficult to tell from photos)
- Caseback has correct looking 'A' and Omega sign appears to be correct size
- Notches in case at 3 and 9
- Hands appear correct length
- Movement appears genuine
I welcome your thoughts.
Thanks
