Hey guys i stumbeled across this seamaster 300 and i‘m wondering if it is a fake peace because the lume is matching so good. What do the 165.024 experts say?

THIS site here is, I believe, the one folks from around here put together to help with these: https://www.omegaseamaster300.com/
Bezel looks like the 69-71 'with heavy set text and rounded corner triangle'.

Crown is the screw down crown? Dial doesn't match the fake, and looks like large triangle/date window.

But better folks than I will come along hopefully.

Yeah, I am a bit afraid to speak up too much, since I know nothing. But that lume looks suspicious to me. Second hand looks inconsistent as well.

Other then its not a 165.024 but a 166.024 ( 😀 ) it looks okay to my eyes too. At least not the typical obvious traces, that defines the known fakes (Bezel, Stubbies, caseback writing etc.)

I`d say the dial+hands were relumed to match the bezel. This latest big triangle iteration should have greeenish tritium lume, not this brownish.
