Seamaster 120 advice

ydelcan · Dec 5, 2021

Hi all members. I'm new to the forum and happy owner of a 71 Speedmaster and a First Omega In Space.
I have recently purchased from a local watchmaker a Seamaster 120 135.027
The watch seems fine, I have checked the main "replica" issues but I'm still worried especially by the bezel.
The bezel is in such a perfect condition, that it seems weird.
I'm not very good at taking pictures but the idea is that the insert looks like anodized very matte aluminium and the main part is painted black. It has 144 teeth however. I wonder if the bezel is an original service replacement.
The pearl has (like dial and hands) faded tritum with a very very light glow in the middle of the night hardly visible.
The case has notches, light engraving but was polished. Movement is in the 2.6 million.
Bracelet seems to be an original N°12 1069 Omega with 524 endlinks.
Thanks for your advice.

Could you make a lot of pictures in daylight of the dial, bezel, pip lume and sides? And when you're at it, could uou slso make pictures of the back, etc

To me it looks like the lume pip is missing, and someone has placed some lume in the spot where it used to be.

Following with interest and looking forward ro some additional pics. Nothing jumps out at me as fake based on the supplied pictures, although the second hand is incorrect.

I once thought the same about the silver second hand but I have seen more than a few with it. Makes me wonder if some got the white and some didn’t, or if it was a factory service replacement at some point. Mine came with skinny “Speedy” style hands which I knew were wrong, but I found at least 2 other people who had them as well- again, perhaps a service replacement at some point when the correct factory hands weren’t available. As we know, few case parts remain available for these watches from Omega.

Well, maybe it's me but the outerrim of the bezel looks black. And that's always a warning sign for me. Especially when I look at the condition of the case.

Looks very nice and original to me, but I'm no expert.

I have its cousin.

Yes it's a flat replacement. And it's as bright as the other lume -> very weak and seems real tritium as it keeps glowing faintly all night

It looks like it could be the original pip that has some general wear and is not as tall as it originally was.

I'm afraid I need to have the watch in hand. So I'm not much of a help here. Sorry
