    At first glance this looks like a real Seamaster 300...but the devil is in the details. Look at the following:
    1- Omega Logo
    2- Bezel is not correct
    3- Hands are not correct
    4- Seamaster 300 on dial is wrong

    Regarding # 2...there is a great post somewhere on this forum with a detailed list of all the correct bezels. I cant find the link, but here are a couple images. As you can see this bezel doesnt match, and is just off in general. Also note size and placement of top triangle marker.

    I'm inclined to say the whole bloody thing's a fake.

    The "SWISS MADE" is obviously completely wrong.

    Definitely a horrible fake. Another tell on this is the shape of the big triangle, it’s too narrow. However it is worrying that these are now produced without the stubbies and with a flat top A in waterproof on the case back - both obvious tells in the past.
