    Does it look genuine to you ?

    Thank you.

    Not an expert or remotely qualified to know – so, grain of salt! But a very strong "NO". It does not look genuine to me.

    Again, I'm not very familiar with military watches in general, or Omega's specifically – but the Seamaster caseback without any military markings or serials seems like a huge problem. The dial, likewise absent of any markings and the lume-less dauphine hands also don't sit right with me – what good is a lumed dial without lumed hands?

    For comparison, an authentic RAF issued Omega from 10 years prior...

    The best indication might be the asking price. I'm just guessing it is around 500 USD, give or take...in which case you can be assured it isn't authentic.
