Hi All

I've seen a few of these around- cases, dials movements and serial numbers look right. But they look new, something's not right, they should have the patina of a 50 year old watch, what's going on here? I've read about the WatchCo SHOMs and 300s is that what's happening here or are they just out and out FAKE and I can't see the wood for the trees? I'm trying to teach myself right from wrong, good from bad then........can anyone help me please? Thanks Nathan

 

Do you have any other photos? Especially of the dial?

 

Thank you, These are a bit similar but hope they do the trick.

Thanks

Nathan

 

How about photos of the case back, inside and out?

 

There's nothing for this one, but I've spotted another similar looking Watch with 135.027 on the case back

 

I've had the same thoughts as the OP. Watch is here: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Omega-Sea...008746?hash=item4b1605892a:g:hwYAAOSw4A5Y0D-QPurchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network

 

Here is a great thread about the early SM 120s.

I suspect OPs watch and the eBay listing above to be at least in part counterfeits.

 

Thanks XK 350 XJR!
A Great article which really helps navigate through the mine field.

Thanks everyone for your help much appreciated as always.
