My Early Seamaster 120 Divers. What to look for and what to avoid.

Same here, ghost bezel. I've once contemplated to trade it for one that had the more original, pitch black bezel, but I realized how much I really like this ghost color

Very, very similar to mine, even down to the white date disk, faded bezel and bracelet.

I’m in a similar boat. I took a punt on this one a little while ago after bidding on a listing with awful photos and what looked like an aftermarket bezel. After some light cleaning, I realized the bezel just had major fading that grew on me.

Do you know the serial? Mines 26,3xxxxx.

Here’s my recent acquisition. I’m struggling to get the bezel back on after cleaning. Normally it would click on the spring but it really does not happens this time. Am I missing something? Maybe the spring is not right?

Love this thread 😀
These gems are still undervalued. Been my favorite watch since I got it 7 years ago. Bezel was not so faded when I got it but after a lot wrist time it's fading slowly.

Here is above watch next to mint non faded bezel 😀 Of course light angle does a lot when taking photos.

It's the shiny Omega logo that really does it for me on these watches. Same reason why I love the pre-moon speedmasters so much.

Interesting with price list from Omega and all details around service documentation. Thanks for sharing that.
Quite juicy bill. That was 2018 so time for a new service again 😁
Very nice watch BTW 😀

Absolutely. More fake 120’s than genuine at the minute.

Terrible! I reported it but no response from eBay.
They will be the envy of the uninformed .

135.027+Automatic is the funniest part I guess

This person is back at it again. I reported the item and contacted the borrower. Feel free to report the item as I did twice but eBay did not remove it.

SAFETY RED (perhaps ORANGE) SECONDS PYLON / BATON

It seems the Seamaster 120 also ... came /was offered with ... a RED (ORANGE?) seconds sweep hand as evidenced by this Omega catalogue introduction for the SEAMASTER 120.

Following these news, I'm going to buy Geneve racing stock before the gold rush to make Seamaster 120 Ultraman's 😁
