Movement and case are genuine, dial probably is too.

Just because you've never seen one doesn't mean its fake.
What about the caseback?

Again, just because you've never seen one doesn't mean its fake.

Not your typical markings but genuine just the same.

Here are some tips to help you avoid purchasing a fake vintage Omega.

Here's a classic fake Seamaster:



First, you won't find "antimagnetic" or a jewel count on the dial of any Seamaster. Second, that's one crappy movement. Omega copper plated their movements since the word Seamaster has been used on the dial. Third, Omega never put the hallmarks (like the Ω WATCH Co inside the triangle or the 18K 0.750) you see on this watch's caseback on the outside - they were always on the inside.


Thread it came from: http://omegaforums.net/threads/seamaster-elecromagnetic.6234/

Here's another example in a different case:



The thread it came from:

Bottom line: ASK BEFORE YOU BUY! Part of the reason this forum exists is to help less experienced people buy decent vintage watches without getting ripped off. We don't even charge! It's a FREE service!

OK ok.. its not a fake but i love the liberal application of the phrase NOS literally "New Old Stock" < (mint never worn 40s factory / shop floor condition)

Vntg Longines Military Style SS All Orig Cond NOS Vintage Military Canvas Band
Condition:
Used


Dont get me wrong its not a bad watch! but its not a NOS watch... Thinking people just see the term and add it in without knowing what it means?

"well if his watch is a NOS my watch damn sure better be a NOS to!"

"hey i found this watch with my metal detector i hope its a NOS!"

"Are you wearing a NOS?"

"i inherited what i think is a rare NOS! i remember my grandad wore it EVERY day for over 60 years.. "

NOS NOS NOS!

F**k me!

This thread is a magnet for the instant snap posters and idiots who keep using a phone for internet access instead of a proper tool.
(A COMPUTER WITH A SCREEN).

And to @FullyWound, you should know better.

:whipped:


If it's not a genuine fake (see what I did there 😁) then post the f*cker somewhere else!

There is a thread where you can post pics and ask it a particular watch is fake. I suggest you take some pics of the dial, case and movement, and post them in that thread.

Fake description =) and it didn't really "Fit" anywhere better.. consider it a sideline from the norm i did literally open with

"OK ok.. it's not a fake but"...

And it is kinda funny.. Cant we just all be a little less "Bitchy"

vintageshopde

heed caution when buying a seamaster 120 165.027 these seem to be pretty flaky franken / fakes

fake yet well printed dials T-T's but all luminova Fake Cases Fake Dials TOTALLY Fake bezels

and the VOLUMES they are selling in is obscene the seller above has sold like 12 since march

8 Next pictures are one of mine (SOLD) the rest are all "Dodge"

There are maybe 5 genuine articles on ebay (but not all great examples) the rest are ALL Weird

yea this watch is NOT all that fake but its not "right" either bezel is 100% fake movement is good dial hands good case iust suspect but it could be the photographs its really hard to tell..

Ive messaged the seller he seems reasonable. I dont think anyone wants to hear their watch is fake especially if they really dont know.. I think he too has been somewhat duped into buying it possibly he has plenty of OK watches but is an inexperienced seller (by feedback)

Im going to try to help!
