·I snagged another SM120 on a 1067 bracelet with 532 end links. Anyone know if the second hand was an option for this model or if it came from another?

·Agreed. Even if it was the right style, look at how bright the white is and the color of the lume in comparison to the other markers. By that gauge, I'd question the hour & minute hands as well.

·Hi everybody,
Thanks for welcoming me on this forum.
I'm actually looking for a seamaster 120 165.027 but could also be interested in a 135.027
Definitly my dream watch but really difficult to find one so if someone has or see that beauty on sale, plz let me know! Would be awesome.
Thanks!

They appear quite often here in the FS section. Be careful with pieces on places like eBay and Catawiki as there are many examples out there with incorrect parts. If you find a piece that you are unsure about, just post a seperate thread in the Vintage omega section and plenty of knowledgable people will likely chime in.
Happy hunting.. It's a great watch (wearing one right now)

·My brand-new-to-me manual 120, 135.027. Cal 601. Serial in the 28 millions so apparently dates to around 1969.
Arent you scared of the displaced t swiss made t? The left is more to the left than the right to the right. The crown is questionable as well.

·Helpful page for sure. Thx!
Current auction (7/30/19)
Expert on the page gives a range up to 2800 Euro for this Seamaster 120 ref 166027.
Bezel and dial might be ok?
Hands look like they are from a Speedmaster
Black date on white background. wrong.
Borrowed movement?
Not sure about caseback..
Anyway, not sure I will ever have the guts to buy from an online auction. I just feel like a lost newbie.

Wanted to check what you think about this piece.
Any inputs? There are seamaster 120 with blue bezels, but they are rather rare as far as I know. Is everything legit with the watch? Was recently serviced. Thx for the help 😉.

·Well I’m thinking of buying the watch.
But not so sure regarding the blue bezel & if everything is legit.

·I saw a lot of different bezel colours on the lady size models so a blue bezel might be legit on the 37mm model as well.

·Dial looks ok to me. second hand is incorrect and both hour and minute hand are service parts. Also the crown was changed. Luckily the original parts are in the bag 👍
You should definitely take the parts of the bag to avoid damage! What is the asking price of the seller?

·It would be a surprise if that bezel is not legit. Although you dont see these often I think blue bezels did exist. Did you find similar examples on the web? The bezel got a nice faded color which can only be caused by time (although some people throw bezels in the oven to get a ghost color).

·Seller is asking for 3000. A bit high I think, what do you guys think?
As usually the black bezel examples go away for 1500-2000.
Yes exactly, all pieces should be in the bag. So no issue on this side in my opinion. Crown and glas are replacements as well. But did not find much information on the blue bezel.

·Here as well a couple if pictures of the movement.
In my opinion everything looks legit (hands and crown are in the bag).
Just that the price is a bit too high.

·We all balk at the price of $3k (which I too think is too high), but with a factory service (if he can show paperwork), the original parts, and the rarity of a blue bezel- that could add $1k to the value theoretically.
