    Morning all I have come across a seamaster on eBay and the dial finish has caught my eye . But there are no model or movement No's visible or in the description for me to research . I can't seem to find any images of a similar one with the large date window and The case back also seems suspect both for the glass element and in inscriptions .

    Could I have you thoughts please to whether the watch is real or fake.

    Thanks

    I'm on the slippery slope although everything I want is high end and I have a very low end budget !!! I may have to stick with one watch but a few different straps :)
