    C'mon Fake busters, anything I missed?

    Dial fake, closed 6 and 9, references number on the caseback complete bogus, no expert on the Military Inscription but I guess total fakery too? Bazel looks Strange to me and the lumen..just matches to perfectly...

    Seller asking 2,9k€ which Is way into "too good to be true" territory for a Military issued 300 SM I would think.

    Anything more? Seeking to learn more on those...

    Cheers,

    Max

    Fake bezel. That font wasnt used on these watches. And if bezel is fake, so is the case, cause from what I was told fake bezels did not fit original case. Horrible Seamaster 300 font on the dial.

    550 movement extremely unlikely for British military; would have been a 552.

    It will catch somebody.

    Ah yes, that "unique" A/254/67 serial number.

    And I think the last real one I saw sold at Bonhams for over AUD$100K.

    Yes, but that's the new "Omega Scamaster".

    How ironic.

    I saw this one too and informed the platform and the seller that it's fake. He simply replied it isn't, but his asking price tells a different story I assume. Anyway, it's removed now..but one of it's hundreds of brothers will reappear soon :)

    @mr_yossarian was about to Report it and it was already gone. I'm done contacting the sellers about their fake watches as conversation goes downhill 99% of the time.

    Some of the sellers are shit bags and trying to sell fake knowing that they have fake, however there are some people out there truly believe they have original.
    I have had a conversation with one gentleman the other day. He was selling redialed watch with wrong movement, that his father passed to him. He got upset with me , because I told him it was a Frankenstein watch.

    the broad arrow gives it away. if it were a US case, it would have a F.S.N. number (maybe). there were a lot of empty cases floating around at one time. vinn
