Seamaster 212.30.41.20.01.002 dated 2013, is this real or fake??

[Oli1]

Hi, looking to purchase my first seamaster, want the non ceramic version with co-axial. 212.30.41.20.01.002 black version is intended choice. Have found one dated 2013 from respectable jeweller in the UK. However everywhere seems to say that this was only produced 2006-2012 ( before ceramic came out in 2012)
Looking for advice/help about whether this is possible, or fake?
Also was this model ever made with 2500d variant?
All advice much appreciated

Pretty common for watches to sit in AD cases for several years before selling, especially 10 years ago. You could even buy a Sub at retail with no buy history then.

So nothing suspicious about a 2013 sale date.

That's great, much appreciated

Didn`t the 2500D come at the end of the model run? So there is a chance that yours have the upgraded movement, depending on how long it lingered in the shop before selling.
