hello all,
I'm curranly in NYC doing some Xmas shopping and chilling out taking in the sights. I can across this Seamaster 300 in a small but lovey jewellers, I'm not an expert when it come to the Seamaster 300 as I'm aware there a lot of fakes going about . My question is it this worth a buy or should I leave it and continue my search? The information I have on the watch It was manufactured in the 70s acording to the seller I don't have the movment number or the case back number ,but I will get this information today and post.

Thanks for your input .
Steve

 

Fake. Very fake. Notice the stubbies and the closed 6 and 9 for starters. Also what the heck is with that hole in the big triangle?

 

Very fakey fakey. Hands and bezel look dodgy as well.

 

I am afraid it ticks most boxes in this article: http://scubawatch.org/hallofshame.html

Speaking words of wisdom; let it be!

 

very very very fake. Yurk these yellow figures. fake dial : see the dash behind luminous markers. Figures are not opened as they should be. run away! don't give a penny. Who dare sell that as an sm300???

 

Thank for all the advice .. There will be no sale on this today .. Money safely in my pocket .
Cheers

 

I'm a running

 

Just curious, what was the jeweller asking for that poor fake?

 

Asking price was $3500 retail shop was called Deco fine jewellery .

 

Thanks for the Hall of Shame site. Added to my vintage SM300 study guide.

 

Just like to Thank the OF for saving me $$$$

Thank you guys .

 

Just another reminder that the perils of vintage watch buying are not limited to eBay.

 

It even has a fake Omega logo in the crystal. It's an equally pretentious as bad fake
