Thanks. Hands were courtesy of a fellow member. Bracelet is a JB Champion- wish it were the Omega flatlink but those have all been snatched up by the grubby fingers of Speedy guys

 

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.

 

The 540 are also correct for the 1098 and can be purchased from Omega still if you’re interested.

If not, I’ll see you on eBay fighting for the 547s.

 

Do the 540 endlinks fit the seamster 120 166.027?

 

According to this document they do.

 

Thanks, I've seen that but according to this document the 547 links are correct.
Can anyone confirm if they have fitted 540 endlinks to a Seamster 120?

 

Yeah, it's getting more difficult to tell between fake and service replacement parts. The grey writing along with almost all of the differences, from the bezel to the case and the dial (sold as the kit), alone are not exactly conclusive that all of that is fake. Remember that the "watchco" SM 300 is different to the vintage SM 300 in everything visible. It was easier with the old fake, but even the OP of this thread bought his fake SM120 and for a while thought it was all service replacement watch, until I pointed out the fake parts.

Perhaps the sudden appearance of loads of new parts after long period of NLA, along with anything suspicious from the seller, is more indicative.

 

I have a 1067/532

Hi Guys

I know, it’s not much. Just twi pictures.
What do you think about the dial and back of the watch? Anything suspicious?
Asking for a picture of the movement.

Thx!

 

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.

 

ladies version .. looks all orig

 

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

Sorry i've missed your point about the text

 

No love for the 166.073 SM120?

 

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

 

That's because most examples are, lol...

 

Very informative! Thank you so much for posting this!
