    I've search for this dial for hours on different forums can't find the same one anywhere plus every similar model I've found of this seamaster 30 also has the number 30 on the lower part of the dial.

    While the seller listed the supposed virtues of the watch in an overly hyperbolic manner, bottom line the watch is not a fake.

    The dial didn't leave the factory that way nor did it have those hands, dial refinished, hands replaced.

    Research before buying next time.

    Good eye- but not sure this post belongs in this thread. It doesn't seem an overall 'fake' watch- a redial for sure.

    Perhaps not fake but split personalities
