Hello all,

Quick introduction. My name is Robert, hail from Belfast, Northern Ireland. Although I have been squatting in Germany for several years.

I am on the hunt for an Omega Seamaster 120 135.027. I stumbled across uwsearch’s very useful post a few months ago, which saved me from buying a suspected fake on Catawiki at the eleventh hour! So many thanks to that kind soul. I naively thought these watches were too “niche” to be copied, silly me.

I hope to draw on the experience of others to learn and to avoid buying a fugazi.

Welcome Robert. If you find one you like the look of it’s worth posting pictures of it here and asking for a second opinion. I don’t know much about the 135.027 120 but there seems to be more fakes than nice genuine ones!

Welcome to the forum! Great first thread! You did some homework before asking questions and included a friendly introduction. @Dash1 has sound advice, also buying from a trusted seller. The Private Sales forum here is a good place to look. This thread is helpful:

Niche it may be, but if something has value. it will be copied
