·Probably genuine, but with a poorly repainted dial. The movement looks very dirty and/or corroded, obviously, and a piece of the regulator is missing. Can you show the inside of the case-back please.

·It's also missing a case clamp and screw. It looks like the once rubber gasket has deteriorated at some point and made a mess all over the movement.

·It's genuine but probably had a very hard life and was in a poor state. The movement looks very dirty, the case back had been refinished, the case very polished and the dial repainted.
So, yes it's genuine but it's had a lot of work that isn't of a particularly high standard.

·Oh, the newbie tax. Pretty much all of us have paid it one way or another. Hopefully it was not too much. 🙁

·Return it if you can. It will cost more than the purchase price just to put the movement in decent shape, but there's nothing that will improve that dial except a better redial. That's more money and it still won't be authentic. Instead, buy this: FS - *Reduced* Lovely Omega Seamaster from 1959! | Omega Forums Take it to a good independent watchmaker with an Omega parts account. Have the movement serviced and the small hole in the lume on the hour hand repaired and you will have a very nice, reliable authentic vintage Seamaster that you will be proud to wear.

As Dan says the logo is a generic replacement. It should have an Omega logo. The caseback has been heavily repolished. I don’t know if this reference had a caseback logo but it’s been refinished so hard the original caseback finish, whatever it was has been removed
