    Hi,
    So i've found a seamster diver m for sale and trying to identify it's reference number, almost had it identified as the 212.30.41.20.03.001 (no wave blue dial, ceramic bezel)
    However the serial number indicates it's production year is 2007. As far as i know the 'no wave' dial and ceramic bezel were introduced after 2012?? Can anyone help?

    Don’t know what serial number table you are using, but none are really good for modern Omega’s. They are a guess at best. That watch was definitely made after 2007.

    any reason you want to know when exactly it was made. It looks legit, that’s all I’d be worried about.

    Looks like 212.30.41.20.03.001 Where are you getting the date reference from.

    At the very least the bezel inlay is wrong. It is off-center and the lume pip is completely wrong - a bad aftermarket/fake.

    The lume pip / bezel is definitely wrong. When you wind it, is it smooth, this tends to be a dead give away for fakes. The reference number on fakes can often be for the wrong model, if you Google the reference number does it come up with anything. A fake reference number will often throw up lots of results.

    It’s more than just the bezel, the bracelet fitment, the crown guards, the finishing on the lugs and bracelet links, the whole watch is bad 100%

    Stay away from that one, besides them giving you a poor blurry photo under bad lighting, you can still pick out all the wrong things with it like what people said above. The bezel, etc etc. It is a pretty bad fake.
