    Hello all. I am looking at this SM 300 that the seller has this photo of. He states that at one point it was fully serviced by Omega, and has a 565 movement, but that's about it. Can anyone see anything terribly wrong just looking at this one photo? Any help would be great, thank you.

    Honestly, I see nothing wrong with it. Of course, I see nothing right with it either.

    Nothing original about it, except possibly the case and movement.

    Ed: Sorry, slow internet, can see the watch now. Movement may be original, maybe not, who knows.

    All the cosmetic parts (case, caseback, dial, hands, bezel and bracelet) are modern service items.
    It's either a modern 'watchco' type, or a vintage Seamaster that's had most of the vintage taken out of it.
    No way to know which without an extract.

    No pics of the movement. No pics of the end pieces or the bracelet on the watch. If the movement is ok and the bracelet is all there that is a pretty fair price.

    The owner sent these photos of the movement and case back today. What do you guys think?

    Its a WatchCo SM300.. his asking price is right on target for what it is but the Dial, Hands, Case Back, Crown are all service replacements. movement by my research serial on teh main plate dates it to 1971
