Hi everyone,

I think I am ready to pull the trigger on an Omega Seamaster Diver 300M "Seaweed", and I'd love to get some opinions from the community regarding its authenticity.

I've compared it against photos online and everything looks correct to my eye, but I know there are many experienced collectors here who may spot details I could miss.

The set comes only with the box, mini-pouch/box, card holder and warranty card.

If anyone is willing to help, I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks in advance for your time and expertise!

Well nothing jumps out as fake. Usually the balance wheel is a big tell but that one doesn't look off. If you can access the cards, you can use the Metas code to check the watch appears on the relevant website. If it does, it isn't fake.

I agree, but I've also seen fakes with a balance wheel that looks genuine. It really depends on which movement they use.
Some of the superclones even run at the same 25,200 vph.

The clones are getting better and better, so the small details are often the biggest giveaway.
With a loupe, how is the finishing on the hour, minute, and second hands?
They should be flawless.

How does the bracelet feel?
The clones I've seen tend to have very poor/flimsy bracelets that don't feel smooth.

How does the crystal reflect light?

The crown guards on the fakes I've seen, seem to be shorter and thinner than the genuine ones.
(On yours, they look correct.)

Do you have a better close-up of the movement?
