It's been redialled. Those fonts aren't far off being correct, but don't belong on that watch. The top half is 70s Connie (the super slim auto whose number I can't remember) and the bottom 50s Seamaster. No Swiss Made either. Don't go there.

There's a lot of this type of Seamaster around at present. Just wait for a better one.

There is a thread buried here about redials and telling fakes, check it out. I was into vintage seamasters early on it was helpful to me as the redials become one of the easiest tells, although there are some good ones

isn't it supposed to have a frame around the date also?

I’d say nay as well, find something original and unmolested. Cheers

I think the only genuine this is the movement?

Refinished dial and hands don't match the dial design

Case is marked Seamaster on the back, but nothing inside the case which is odd. No Omega name or reference number

I would pass
