    Should have asked here first before purchasing.
    It's a fake in my opinion.
    Put in a claim for a refund but insist on destroying the watch rather than returning it to the seller. Otherwise another poor fellow will be conned.
    Someone has obviously put in a fair bit of effort to pass it off as the genuine article. They shouldn't be allowed to get away with it.

    So I can go back to him what makes you think it’s a fake

    The bezel rotates smoothly no klicks

    There are some good photos in this thread of a genuine 135.027 so compare your one to that and see if you can spot any differences. The movement is genuine but likely taken from another watch.

    The bezel shouldn't click.
    I suspect the case, bezel, dial and hands are fake. Please post a link to the eBay auction.

    I'm in the dark with these 120's. To me the pip triangle, the color of the bezel, dial and markers, the font and the lack of fading are suspicious.

    In addition, the font and marker print color on the dial appears grey, but should be white.

    Not sure what that is, but it’s not a Seamaster 120

    The case and movement might be legit, but the bezel is incorrect and the dial is all wrong.

    1F9F6439-1CD7-4A00-BC13-D099181E5FF6.png The dial is 100% fake, the grey color on the font gives it away. These are sold on eBay and Etsy.

    I almost fell for the top one before doing a few days of research and avoiding a costly mistake.

    Purchased one a few weeks ago, with 1098/547 bracelet and original box, no papers. € 2100. Rather hefty price, but I guess it is a good price with bracelet included. 26 million series, 1968. Good match for my 145.022 69. Both with tritium/patina.
