Hi everyone,

Can someone help me identify if this watch is legit or if it has any red flag? From what I could check from omegaseamaster300, it seems OK, but I have been wrong before about this particular watch.

Thanks

AFAICS: hands look relumed - dial OK - bezel ??? -> does not look original

Cal 563, so an American market piece. 1969 serial number, so the bezel looks about right to me. I don’t see any red flags, but I’ve been wrong before.

Do you think the hands are relumed?

Good way to check lume is with a uv flashlight.

compare the min.- and h.-hand vs. the seconds-hand and check the bezel (with UV) too. The bezel looks (AFAICS) newer than the rest. Perezscope "overall matching patina"

I don't think the hands are relumed either.

not the seconds-hand ! - you can see the difference...

for comparison - colour of the three hands (and bezel, and dial !)

Based on SN this is the very last US batch, build around 22JUN69.
I`d say the watch is in original condition, no relume.
