·Avery nice example.
Where did you find the hands, they're a good match for the dial?
Did the bracelet come with the watch - if so it was a real steal?

·It's great that a forum member was able you help you out with the hands as they look much better than the modern replacements from Omega.
I'm looking for 547 endlinks for a 1098 bracelet if anyone has a spare link or two.

·I think it’s important also to address the grey writing, while I cannot 100% confirm that the grey writing dials are fake, I can make a very educated assumption that an overwhelming amount of vintages pieces have white writing. This includes ones in great shape and ones in not so great shape.
All grey lettering dials appear on the watches that are labeled “like new” and “NOS”. The grey also appears on some very sketchy Etsy and eBay sellers who are labeling their fakes as like new.
So I would advise members looking for an authentic Seamaster 120 to read this thread and “Say Na To The Grey”.
Perhaps the sudden appearance of loads of new parts after long period of NLA, along with anything suspicious from the seller, is more indicative.

Nothing suspicious... but I think it is the women's version (small size).

Yep it looks like the small version which is worth considerably less and isn't really any good for an adult male.

·Beside the the lume pip difference in the first picture, nothing looks fake on this watch. You guys needs to study this model family more carefully.
They've spelt the word Seamaster "SeaNaster" (small "n" ) on the green dial and bezel one, It's very close but if you remember doing joined up writing at school over and over again, there is no initial post to the "m" on the fake, and that's apart from all the other irregularities that you can see, spelling i'd have thought would be pretty important, the key thing the counterfeiters rely on is that we want to believe it's real, so we look for reasons to prove that, we're eternally optimistic about our latest watch-need, when really it's healthier to be sceptical until there's nothing left to disbelieve about it, the burden of authenticity proving should lay with the seller, but an optimist with cash is their best friend, and if the optimist is impatient then what more does he need, play the waiting game, with a little bit of "lots of interest in this one" just for good measure
in my opinion the real one, poorer resolution but still visible and proper "m":
And again my opinion the fake with the "n", slightly better resolution than the above photo so should be more visible

I like the dial and bezel but the case looks like an overpolished soap bar...
