Hi all, I have been exclusively an omega dress watch collector so far, namely constellations, but recently the seamaster 300 has caught my fancy. I've been doing some light research on them and today I can across one listed on ebay. The bezel, hands, and dial have been switched with watchco replacements. Normally, I'd skip that completely, but the seller states he has kept the originals which piqued my interest. I'Ve spoken with the seller and he claims to be the original buyer of the watch and that the originals have never been touched. I am by no means an expert on these watches but the breif research I've done leads me to believe the dial is a fake or at least poorly redone. What I've read online is that there should be a white rectangle around the date window, there should not be stubbies on the hour markers, there should not be t swiss made the on the bottom of the dial, and the numbers should be open. Are these correct or are there perhaps exceptions to these rules? The seller is adamant the dial is original and on the watch when he purchased it so wanted to check if there is any chance this is correct. Dial in question:
Yeah, that's what I figured. Shame, it was for sale at a good price. You always get what you pay for.
The seller is lying out of his nose and not to be trusted. I recommend that he buys and wears one of these to remind him of his ways.

Avoid this seller and this watch. Spare Dial and spare bezel are both bogus. I sent this seller the link below which points out the issues with his fake dial and bezel. http://thatwatchandmore.blogspot.com/2013/03/buying-vintage-omega-seamaster-300.html His replied that this wasn't an Omega site and that he wasn't interested. A REAL ARROGANT ASSHOLE. I REPORTED THIS LISTING TO EBAY. PLEASE DO THE SAME.
I had sent him the same link earlier today and got a terribly rude response. Was just trying to spread some knowledge.
