Thank you
I see the lume pit is different, the case back and under the case back. The movement looks original.
I have a lot more research to do, if I want to find a decent example but what screamed fake to you?

·+1 typical fake
Check:
- fake shiny bezel, wrong lume pit, 120 instead of 144 dents.
- dial print should be whiter
- Royal Afghan Airforce caseback is different (seamaster is not centered)
- different case

All great info for someone who is trying to navigate through all the crap out there.
When you say 120 instead of 144 dents, what does that mean.

How about the movement, it looks like it says 513 instead of 613. Any clue why that would be?

I agree with the above, it seems like he is confused and the # on the movement is concerning along with the prestige bezel.
I was looking at the one you posted and was seriously considering it.
What about this one, no date but the condition looks good.

CROWN is not correct, I don't trust the case back , mvmnt shud be cal 601 ........ Omega launched the Seamaster 120 in 1966 ...... and the ad says it's from 1962 ?

Good point that caseback is scribble. What does it mean when there is a 1 in between the omega symbol on the movement.
