Hi there,
comments and opinions welcome on this Seamaster Automatic DeVille cal. 562


What is it about this watch that makes you think it may be a fake?

Im pretty sure mines genuine, unfortunately i i on have a useless camera phone, i got it for a good price, not a steal but not expensive eitherl and it was a face to face deal. It came with everything except original receipt. Id heve preferred to buy new but they are stupid money retail.

This looks pretty fake to me but I'm new to the game... even comes complete with the "it's my dead grandpas, might not be real but probably is" excuse! Bids are pretty low but I'd still rather report it to eBay if I'm right so noone wastes their money.

Rings a lot of bells: date not centred in window; lume dot on bezel not neat & centred; helium valve at 10 should be higher.

That sold for $782
Did it sell or was it pulled? Thought it had a few more days left on the auction.

The listing had it as sold.
That's pretty annoying because I reported it ages ago... hope the buyer gets their money back via paypal 👎

I have been looking for one of these white dial pieces in mint or very good condition for some time. I found this one on eBay. Not mint, but wondering if it is fake. I can’t find any DeVille GMTs for this era with this type of back. I’m new to the game, so any advice is appreciated.

I got this from eBay but haven't had a reply from my local watch man to take a look at it. I have not seen the movement, but it looks authentic to be. I'm no expert. Any chance that the movement is not omega? Take a look at the W on the Wednesday....it looks off to me

I just got the cheapest Speedmaster ever on ebay. doesn't sound good right? I know.

But paypal protects and I've not paid yet. these are the only real photos i have.

So you entered into a legally binding contract and now you want us to tell you if you got a good deal or a shit one so you can back out?

Post the eBay link for us to make a judgenment.

The link has the same photos seller with 0 feedback ect. All the signs of a fake watch but Yanow can't live life without taking risks. Plus it's not a legally binding contract if the seller is selling counterfeit products addressing as 100% genuine 😉
