    Hi

    I’m new to this collecting vintage watches game, but I would appriciate, if the first watch in my collection weren’t an unoriginal one

    I’m concidering to buy this Omega Seamaster 17400 2 SC (see pictures) but the second markers are touching the W and D in ‘SWISS MADE’ which concerns me. Also, the second markers look a bit long compared to other 14700’s on the internet.
    Furthermore, a member at another watchside made me aware that the spacing between e and a in Seamaster looked kind of sketchy.

    Thanks for your oppinions in advancd

    This.

    Lume also looks new (like toothpaste). Font is just a bit off but pretty good (which is scary).

    It's a redial and parts may be replaced.

    Is this a South Korean offering?

    Thanks man

    Surpricingly not It’s from Vintage Watch Trading in Switzerland, a ‘trusted seller’ which, when asked, assured me that everything was original and not redialed
    Guess I should pass on this one then.

    Pretty certain that style of hands should either have enamel or tritium in the groove
