    Is this a genuine watch or a franken?

    http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/151684111307Purchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network

    I'm thinking franken because when I check on the database, the movement is from 1970 but the case is a 62 seamaster 600...also never saw a 600 with that dial (reminds me of the railmaster - the reason I am interested in the watch)

    Any advice will be greatly appreciated!

    A reference 135.011 should not have a date. This is a Franken at best.:(

    All things considered, I like it! But the hands don't belong, and that is the classic refinished dial pattern. I guess because it easy to cover whatever is underneath, it's easy to do, and it is sort of pleasing to the eye.

    Thanks for your input. I wish omega would reissue the railmaster so they wouldn't be so hard to find and so expensive!

    Seamaster 600? :confused:
    Wrong case
    Wrong crown
    Wrong movement
    Wrong dial
    Wrong hands
    Right caseback

    The seller claims to be "Selling from my own personal collection to help fund my latest purchase"
    :cautious:

    Yep, I've seen this many times. But when you ask said seller questions about the watch he doesn't know jack ****, which makes you question this assertion.

    I'd really like to see the rest of the "collection"
