Hi,
This watch has come up forsale locally and the price seems to good to be true??
The pictures are not great but was wondering if this is a fake Seamaster? No box or papers.
Any help appreciated.
Cheers Russell.

These aren’t the best photos as you say; however, the one image where the movement is visible through the bracelet clasp shows a genuine free spring balance.

Real bad photos but looks real.
Bracelet code looks original.

It's an amazing watch. I had one, years ago.It has a very readable dial I have ever seen. I still have good memories with it.

But photos are bad.

The serial number is legible in picture #3. That should help determine authenticity if someone can look it up.

Did PO come with 8800 movement? I was under impression that PO should have 8900, as does my PO. Just asking.

This model did have the 8800 movement.

It looks like a 8800 39.5mm PO. Looks good, but I’d always err on the side of caution.

I’d work backwards if I were you—check the major replica websites if they’ve ever cloned a 39.5mm PO, and compare the pics. This is a more of a “niche” piece (in this size) and I’m not sure if it’s been done.

Hi,
I have now had the watch in my hands and to me it looks legit with good weight.
Pictures of the watch below taken by myself.
The serial is 89604xxx.

Great watch! How does it wear?

I'm actually debating on whether the next buy will be this or a Speemaster sapphire sandwich.

Hi,
The watch actually wears extremely well. Nice size at 39.5mm.

Can you comment on the source? Ebay, Facebook, watch dealer, etc?

That’s a crazy price. How on earth did that happen? Must have been an oblivious seller.
