Didn't know there were stubbys on the original dials

Was this built out of a PAF Railmaster do you think? I thought those were mostly reference 135.004 but how else would a 2914 caseback end up with the Seamaster inscription?

 

Why would you think there was anything genuine there (except the movement)?

 

True. I'd think someone who would put in the effort to engrave such small details would have gotten the inside-caseback reference right though!

 

These fake straight lug "SM300's" are not seen that often, but I have seen others like this, also with a 2914-2 reference... Trying hard to look kinda like a 165.014... with no luck in any parts ... and look at that freak middle case... and a non date dial on a date movement to top things... and...
Actually, to little effort was put into this

 

I agree. Except for the movement and the wrong crown, every other part of that watch is a fake.

 

Report that p.o.s. please.

 

How has this got to £1200? Are there that many people who think this is correct

 

totally fake dial isn't it?

 

Speedmaster mania is tipping into Omega mania

 

If your bidding on a watch like this you obviously think you know what it is.
But this has so many flaws it's hard to imagine people being sucked in by it.
If in doubt ask for advice as at this level mistakes can be expensive .

 

This is what a true 60's Seamaster cal 565 is supposed to look like right?

Fake bezel and fake case. Dubious seller.

 

And dial. Movement might be real.

 

Ok, thanks for that, I wasn't sure, I just thought it looked better than the one in the OP.

 

Do we have an 'eBay sellers to absolutely avoid' thread at all? If not, we probably should.

 

Hmm, that's a watchco dial.

Quite a few with fake case, fake bezel and watchco dial have been sold in the last year or so.

 

Really? I’m pretty sure I’m wrong if you say so, but if anyone else had said it I wouldn’t have believed that was a service dial: the date window and frame are crooked. The print does look too good to be a fake.

 

I think it's because of the lighting shadow on the non-flat date ring and unclear pictures. Another picture shows it a bit clearer:

 

And just for learning purposes, how can you tell it's a Watchco dial?
