    I'm a new collector and to the forum. This is a vintage seamaster I've bought from a Japanese ebay seller, I would appreciate an expert opinion on authenticity. Thanks in advance for your help. IMAG0164.jpg IMAG0165.jpg IMAG0166.jpg

    Authentic.

    That'll be AUD$75.00 paid to my Paypal Account. I've sent you a PM with my invoice details.

    Note: My assessment ONLY applies to authenticity.

    Thanks! Money's on it's way.
    Im hoping the dial is faded from sun, it is lighter in the middle, but I'm wondering if it's a re-dial.

    You can stop wondering - it's a redial. I've never seen the SWISS MADE overlap the minutes/seconds track, and AUTOMATIC looks misaligned.

    Note my comment regarding my assessment.
    While it's an authentic Omega, it's a pretty bad re-dial.
    Did you look at a close-up up the dial on a computer screen?

    Thanks all, I had my suspicions about the dial and the price I paid took it into account. Good to hear that the rest looks real, I guess I might be in the market for a NOS dial soon.
