·I've been trying a decent Seamaster 300 for some time and came across an ad that looks good at first glance.
Since I have dealt intensively with most of the topics that can be found here in the SM300 forum during my search, I think I can say that this watch is at least tinkering, if not a Frankenwatch.
In my opinion you can see
- a fake dial with stubby indexes, missing holes at 12 and 6, maybe wrong font for 3 and 6 (or did the small serifs at the end of the digits sometimes look like this?)
- Fake Bezel, at least I did not find this variant in the variants A-G
- Lid with unusual inside, 165024 recessed as well as addition SC; the backside looks authentic
- 550 caliber as far as I could tell, no serial number
- I cannot estimate the case, crown etc.
I suppose I'd better step back, what would you say? Thank you very much for your opinion.
Best regards from a very interested newcomer ;-)
