Hi! I'm looking to buy a Seamaster and this particular one really caught my eye, it is a Seamaster 30 ref. 125.007-63, and from my research, I do believe the case, movement, serial number and hands to be correct to the watch and I'm suspicious about the crown being a replacement, but I'm having a hard time determining if the dial is original, the applied indices and the letters seem correct, but it is missing the "Swiss Made", maybe its because the dial isn't in its best days and lost the paint, but I would really appreciate some other opinions.

Here are some pictures of this (in my opinion) really beautiful watch:



Thanks for the help 馃槈

Need much larger photos to be of any real help, particularly the dial.

Have you compared the crown to other examples?

What is the price?

Crown is not correct, it should be a waterproof crown. It make me wonder how they could fit that flat non waterproof crown on the original tube. Maybe they reduced it.
It is a really poor example of the SM 30.

Hi! I asked the seller for more pictures of the dial, I will post it when I get it.

I compared it with other examples and as @omegastar also confirmed, its not the original crown (Thanks for the confirmation). The seller is asking $380 @X350 XJR , do you think it's reasonable?

Thanks for the pictures @janice&fred !

I would suggest to you that you will be much happier in the long run if you find an example with a better dial. Speaking for myself, once you see a flaw on the dial, you will keep noticing it and eventually it will bother you - but depends on how bad the flaw is. I think you can find a much better example for a little bit more money.

There are 2 seamaster 30 (excluding the military version) and both have the same crown ST45004
1- Seamaster 30 ref. 125.007-63 cal 269, flat backcase and the crown crown ST45004 looks correct (is similar to mine) and also reported on the omega website

2- Seamaster 30 ref. 135.003-62 cal 286, ruond backcase and always crown ST45004 but the picture from the omega website is not so great
