I see something else as "complete disquieting" .......which can not be seen at seamaster300.com --- anyone too? 😀
OK : next one ? 😉
This is a good illustration of the main reason why I very much dislike, and avoid Chrono24:
Because they purportedly "vet" the private sellers, they don't feel the need to provide any information about them. But of course that begs the obvious question: why would they be afraid to allow purchasers to leave public feedback?
The question is essentially rhetorical.
,,,,,,,,,,,it doesn’t make sense to list them all, given what has been said earlier about not providing too much information and details to the counterfeiters.
As I mentioned in my previous post, any counterfeiters would have already done their homework very well and not necessarily need to come here to get information! Let’s look at the logic, what individual would blindly go and spend possibly hundreds of thousands $€£ to create a product without getting it as right as possible? Sure they would cut costs to avoid the fine tuning,but if they can get away with it they would like any business trying to cut costs! If the giveaway becomes aware to the public , they will fine tune it to go to the next level! All they need to do is buy a good genuine collectible and work on studying the details on it without need to spy here! Let’s be real!!

You can speculate as much as you want and call it logic, but in the Rolex world, there is a long history of fakes getting better and better as fakers iterated to address the highly publicized tells. It seems that you think it's trivial to study every detail, but apparently it's not. Details are elusive. Ultimately experts learned to keep some things to themselves, I know I have a few things that I look for on a Rolex clasp and I would never post them. I guarantee that the same thing has happened with Speedmaster bezels. Many of us are just sitting on some things we look for, and we're not eager to post them.
Maybe you have not come across it, but there is a whole world of reproduction watches with forums full of enthusiasts and manufacturers providing parts at various price points (believe it or not, there are low-, medium-, and high-quality reproductions), and the investment is not nearly as much as you think it is. The manufacturers of reproduction/aftermarket parts don't have the interest in or motivation to copy every fine detail that a collector cares about, and they are more than happy to use collectors' research to improve their products.
The SM120 / SM300 kits are just the incidental crossover of the two worlds. Other times, people who have honed their craft in the repro market deliberately dip their toe into selling fake watches as legit.
Anyone with even a cursory knowledge of a real Seamaster 300 bezel can see this one is fake — the teeth are way too long on the edge. They’ve also tried to mask the fake bezel insert by intentionally damaging it to make it look more aged.
Details are elusive.
I know that I cannot post links here

In my comment I was simply trying to follow some advice and what I believed to be the wishes of certain members. I’m here to learn, and I would have liked to continue discussing details and learn through direct back and forth confirmation/correction process, but I simply thought that someone might not appreciate it and I stepped back.
Why not?
Probably to a replica forum or so?
