Because what I am wondering is if that dial was fake, why would the guys that faked it not only used tritium (because this is tritium) and omit such an elementary element as a "Swiss Made".

If I was a faker and produced such a refined dial, and you cannot see on the photos what I can see with a magnifier, I would not omit the " T Swiss Made T".

@Sarandy, you keep referring to a lot of examples that would all provide good, compelling indices to the claim of your dial being correct - sadly, you do not document any. Instead, you refer to your massive collection as if that would prove anything about your judgment or knowledge - it doesn't.

You show a dial variety that no-one here accepts as correct and a number of members have shown in which areas it differs from theirs which are accepted as being correct varieties - "falling a bit short" is being unfair. It is not up to others to prove that yours is incorrect, it is up to you to prove it is genuine. In that respect you have failed so far. That's just the way things are, both on OF and on all collector's fora.

The argument about tritium on the dial isn't going to fly. Scraping tritium off any old dial, grinding and mixing it with binding agent and reapplying would be the easiest thing to do, and it has been done a number of times.

Now - can you show other SM300s with the same dial? Others that have a more solid claim to being all correct? This is an enthusiasts forum and everyone here would love to see a new variety uncovered, but it would have to be presented very differently from what you have done here so far.

Oh, and calling anyone an uneducated moron is not okay. An apology is in order.

I had a watch once that quadrupled in value. It was a Seiko 5 that I bought for $10. Glory days, I tell you... Didn't have a nickel case though.

Seiko's diver watches are very robust watches and their movement is very reliable. They shall not be underrated.

There will be no apology since I was not the one insulted first.

As for the rest, what a hassle for a fake dial...moreover on an otherwise entirely genuine watch.

To your acute knowledge : FAKE or GENUINE ??

This dial is no good. More so than the triangle, the font/print on this dial is just off.
Sorry...
Btw, why is this thread still continuing?

Oh well, I tried. Have fun out there, perhaps we'll meet again on a different website.

I bought this watch in latin America, this explain the differences for the dials, I assume.
Com'on guys, don't you all know the "South American" SM300 MK17 dials?
They're super rare. In fact, only one known example exists.

@Sarandy if I were you I would starting making phone calls to Phillips & Christie's. You have a one off piece and probably sitting on a mountain of money! I bet both auction houses will be fighting to consign your Seamaster in the next round of Geneva auctions...

I think this is really the main point. When it comes time to sell this watch, buyers will not give the seller the benefit of the doubt when he says, "the dial must be genuine because the rest of the watch is genuine."

It was reinvigorated by a package from Omega containing an Extract. 😁

I don't think they would mind, even IF it was fake.

I at first thought other signs were alright, but the spacing on the OMEGA text bothered me....I guess the consensus is that it's a redial at least?

I do not need to be educated. I own many vintage watches, of many brands and have done quite a lot of research on all of them.

I own Heuers Carrera and Autavias, Rolex, Jaeger, Military Breguet, Dodane..all vintages, and even a 165.014, some bought from reputable collectors.

I am here to exchange, not to be lectured, and certainly not to be insulted by an uneducated moron with elementary arguments.

...
You certainly appear to need educating in better manners.

damn i didn't get it that it is THE brequet ::facepalm1::
i would give my left leg for the HEUER cuz it seems to be super special, the squirrelman @ulackfocus will for sure go crazy on this.
luckily i have only some old crappy watches nobody cares about so i can die pieceful without any regrets wearing them.

I will certainly not show you the vintage watches I own for the simple reason that this thread is all about finding the slightest argument why a watch could be fake..

Now this is the font...what a joke.

That is certainly not interesting. I am not posting to see a bunch of guys that barely know a thing making fun on my collection.

Secondly, some guys write that there is a one way dial should be and all other variation should be fake. In fact, that kind of brownish paint that you would promote should only be the true type of dial. My 165.014 has indeed this brownish taint and I surely prefer the taint of this big triangle you re criticizing rather than the ones you are promoting.

I did not learn a thing in this thread that i didn't know.

Extend your knowledge guys!!

Did you read that thread until the end ? 😀
Lol you are reaching the first place of the clown contest of this forum ...
Btw , even if the dial you mentioned was not a redial ... he is not nice. But beauty is in the eyes of the beholder... so if you like it , just keep it and
Enjoy ... now if we find your watch for sale soon and if you advertise it at all original ... you will become part of the scammer family. Just for your information.
