Help Needed. Real or Fake Omega Seamaster?

Hey, I came across this Seamaster on eBay and I can't quite tell if it is fake. The dial appear to be authentic, but I still can't tell whether or not the case back is supposed to be flat or the seconds hand is supposed to be black?

Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Jack

Looks genuine but the photos are horrible so evaluation of the dial is impossible but I’d say it looks refinished.

What attracts you to this piece?

I agree with the above, it's hard to judge based on the distorted photo, but my gut feeling is that the dial is repainted. A decent vintage Seamaster or DeVill is going to require a certain budget, they are very popular watches and everyone is looking at these listings. If you think you found a huge bargain on eBay, it's probably crap. Look in the listings on the forum and the thread where @dsio is vetting items on eBay.
