    Finding the ref model number of the photo . I think it’s the 36mm and I am not sure if the insert bezel is right, but maybe it is ...

    How did you not see it immediately, is the question that needs answers.

    You have to study for a long time if your not buying new. It’s either time or money to save money you need to put in the time.
    ( Sorry for being blunt but after nearly loosing $2k on a Monaco a few days ago you need to do some homework )

    Hands are off, font type and size on the bezel, case shape seems off too.

    Can’t find it that’s why I asked . I can find a similar one with a black bezel , but I can’t find one with black dial and blue bezel insert with the modern bigger numbers like this

    It is a fair question. Look at enough of the watch you are interested one and you will too. The waves are far too prominent for any genuine SMP, the bezel pip is wrong for any SMP and the font is wrong for the Bond Style. It is little things but when they jump out at you one after another you just know.

    The quality just isn’t there, even from a poor picture.
    Look at the applied logo and markers.

    Size of the hour markers, length of seconds hands are a give-away. Also it's lacking the precise contour/shaping of the crown guards and lyre lugs on a real 2220.80.

    The most immediate tell that jumped out at me, is the misalignment of the bezel triangle with the scalloped edge.

    The dial of this Seamaster seems wrong and fake by far...
