·This one is fake of course, I just want to allow you to enjoy the stupidity of the maker of this watch that is for sale on a Dutch site where - unfortunately - a lot of fakes of all brands are offered.
An Omega with a Japanese movement???? Gimme a break!!

·This Seamaster is very light weight - particularly the bracelet. It does not seem to be made out of SS. Did Omega ever use other materials in the 70's? The gold links in the middle of the bracelet are hollow but it still seems suspiciously light. It seems to me that it would be hard to fake the 1342 movement (and not worth it) but this is the first one I've owned so I have nothing to compare it to. It does function exactly like the 1342 should and it even has the common flaw - the hour hand getting stuck when the date wheel tries to advance. The serial number puts it as a 1979 model which is another reason I'm curious - its in amazing shape for a 40 year old watch. Thanks!

··Melbourne AustraliaPerfectly fine.
The bracelets of that period were a follow-on from the folded metal variations from the 1950s 1960s and seem light and flimsy compared to the solid link models we are used to today.
I'd say it's due for a service if there are problems with the movement.

·No worries, thanks anyway. As far as I can tell everything is original. Unfortunately the watch clasp broke just as I was checking it with a watch technician. It looks grimy and rusted, but I didn't notice it before.
I truly believe it wasn't our fault since it was just during regular use. But, I must admit that when I got it it was OK, maybe a bit loose but in one piece. Can I, in good conscience, return it this way? Or is this the risk when you buy used watches and I have to accept it as is?
I think that as long as the seller didn't trick me and knowingly sell me something fake or modified I have to assume these things can happen, right?
Sorry for my rant...anyway...can any one point me in the direction of a used sliding clasp for a Speedmaster date bracelet???🤦
Why not just get that replaced at an AD. The clasps aren't expensive, maybe $100.

·Don't know much about the 1st gen Planet Oceans, but I know the only 38mm (37.5mm) chronographs they made had subdials that were all the same size (see: ref 222.32.38.50.01.001). Only the XL 45.5mm cases had a smaller 6 o'clock subdial

·My thoughts exactly^^^.
37.5mm chronograph PO has Arabic 12 on a dial and all subdials same size,
45.5mm chronograph PO has Arabic 12/3/6/9 and a smaller subdial at 6 o'clock.
I guess the ebay seller made a mistake in a description.

·What do you think of this one?
let me know what you look for to determine Real or Fake.
This is my first so really do not have a reference point.
It was bought from a reputed dealer and delivered from eLady.

Hello. I am not sure if this is genuine. I think it looks somewhat sketchy but the seller seems reputable.
