·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.

·sadly the photo is of poor quality ... but i would rather look for the SECONDS SWEEP in RED (ORANGE?) made for the OMEGA MOVEMENT used for the 120
Both the 120 and the Geneve 136.041 use a 6xx movement. The Geneve used a 613 and the 120 was a 601 (from memory, but I can go check by opening one up if needed).

·the handset meant for use with correct Omega movement
the handset meant for use with correct Omega movement would be the best starting point

another route to take would be securing the parts ref. number for the vintage seconds sweep hand used by the 120 and see if it was offered / available / came NOT just in "SIL and WHT" but was also available " RED (Orange?) "

·I've actually collected several examples of the orange second hand on SM 120 in this thread: https://omegaforums.net/threads/sm-120-with-orange-second-hand---of-thoughts.116180/

The 120 is the 565 movement, although min is fitted with the 561. No clue why.

·Would anyone be willing to confirm (or refute) my suspicions that this 120 that's come up on a local auction site is a fake? (Sorry no movement photos)
The lack of splayed 12 o'clock indicy and the short minute markers got me thinking, not too mention the poor typography on the dial and the weirdly small font in the date window.
What do you think am I being overly suspicious or are my concerns justified?

That actually looks like a perfectly genuine SM120 that’s been redialed.

·Thanks @Davidt I thought the dial looked off, that date wheel also looks pretty janky. Here's a comparison of a legit date wheel from a picture posted in this forum followed by the watch in question, both scale and typeface are wrong. I will definitely stay away from this one...

·The case, bezel and bracelet (which has the correct endlinks) look surprisingly good- so the dial and date wheel are really odd. This may be a cobbled watch, but for the right price, it could be worth the sum of the parts.
