Hello,

I am considering purchasing this apparently vintage Omega Seamaster. What is the easiest way to tell if this is a fake? Thank you

 

Years of looking at genuine examples. I do not claim to be an expert but that looks gen to me.

 

Having a look inside can tell you if the movement/case are genuine and whether they are a match. The watch you show looks legit, but appears to be a refinished dial. There is no way to know about the movement without having a look on the inside.

 

The font on the "Seamaster" doesn't look quite right; I would agree about a refinished dial. Gotta have a look under the hood to know if it's the real thing...

 

I would like to see better picture of the dial with hand out of the way but from OP picture I think font looks just fine for this reference.
Here is mine for reference (no pun intended)...

Ref. 2635 Cal. 354 Black Gilt Dial

 

The dial has been refinished in the past

 

+1. I'd only buy it cheap otherwise search for a better one

 

My original in stainless all the way.....so a redial for sure at least

 

Thank you to everyone for the responses. It is very helpful.

One post indicated getting the watch "cheap" or buy a better one. What is cheap for this unverified Omega?

 

Thank you.
