Is this a genuine watch or a franken?

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/151684111307

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? 😵‍💫
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"
😒

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"
