I would say it's a redial. The hand-drown Seamaster inscription is a no no for me. And the chewing-gum lume on the dial

100% a redial.
Look at the thick, uneven script and hash marks along with the bright green lume dots.

My immediate impression is that the dial has been re-painted/re-inked, and not very well, so I agree with @Seaborg.

The case with the damaged gold plating looks horrible as well.

A watch to be avoided...

I'll bite on the "price check".
Whatever it is, is too much!

Would also think that movement with serial 26M also not original...

Wow, The most obvious redial I’ve seen in awhile. Good on you for asking before buying (i’m assuming).

So this is not genuine movement?

I’m interested because the price is too good to be true. Also found same item and it looks totally different on the dial

What is the asking price?

Do you have the reference number (inside caseback)?

Compare the subdials the ones from your link: they are radial, the OP ones are flat

As already pointed out by experienced members above you really should not buy this one even if the price is very low

Do an internet search for "145.018" and "omegaforums" and start reading and comparing!

Hi John,

a 26m serial for a 145.018 sounds not so wrong for me, could you please let me know your thoughts on that?

Thanks

2700US is certainly not too good to be true!
