    Hi All,
    My name is Novi from Indonesia, I just got vintage omega watch from my uncle and I'm having some difficulties to find the information regarding this watch. Not sure if I can create a new thread for this.
    Tried to googling and found this Omega forums.
    It stated Seamaster 300 but I couldn't found this model on online catalog https://www.omegawatches.com/watches/seamaster/seamaster-300/catalog/.
    Really appreciate if anyone can advise me about this model, thanks in advance :)

    Unfortunately your uncle has given you a fake watch.

    Why do so many uncles give their nephews fake watches?

    I thought they came from Grandads not Uncles?

    I think the general rule is grandad's are redialed, uncle's are fake.

    You rarely hear of an uncle who was gifted a fake watch by his nephew.

    Me too, since my uncle obviously is nothing like others. The watch he gave my brother is all original (and not even redialed).

    - colour of the figures in the bezel, so yellow
    - dash behind the luminous markers

    1. "Stubbies" on hour markers- classic cheap fake item
    2. Bezel Yellow markers to simulate patina
    3. Hour hand arrow- total cheap fake
    4. "9" "6" the loops are closed- real ones are open
    5. Caseback -total cheap fake
    I would be interested to see the movement, open it up and take a few happy- snappies

    Is the second hand sweeping or ticking?
    I guess it's ticking...
