The ref on the caseback belongs to a seamaster 300. Was there ever a bumper model that had a dial like this or is this completly invented?

    I've seen worse. Can't remember when, it was too long ago, but this one has them all.
    Polished to death, franken parts, movement colours and to top it off, an amazing dial.

    Sharpie numbers...Kato Pen is more like it. Run and I’m a noob and figured that out. Study every picture you can in this forum and learn. You will start to see and understand.

    If you like the style of the numerals they are refered to as Breguet numerals. There are Omega’s that have them so look them up and you’ll know what you’re looking for.

    Omega actually call Breguet style numerals "Empire" style, same with Breguet style hands, Omega uses the term "Empire".

    Truly awful piece, everything wrong. Movement from the 1940s, case ref from the 1960s, dial from an Infant school art class. If you have ask about this then I suggest you keep researching;) Only kidding, you obviously realised there are issues.

    The ref on the case 135.007-63 belongs to a Seamaster 30 which is manual wind, not the Seamaster 300 Auto, that’s quite different and rather more desirable. There is a good chance that’s a 40s bumper model with a replaced dial and caseback. Here is an original SM30, the lugs look a little different. Also that bumper is 28mm, the SM 30 uses the 30mm movement (naturally!) so the movement likely hasn’t been swapped and does belong in that case but under and earlier 4 digit case number.
