·Should that sweep seconds be painted?
Anything else wrong with it?

·Well, that is a fake SM300, so the second hand is a relatively minor issue.
Usually the unpainted second hand is an indicator that the watch may not be genuine. The unpainted hands are common with the fakes

·Here is caseback.
I'll need to know some more about why it's fake so I can return.

·Sadly these fakes are common. There was a thread about them just last week. One can purchase 'kits' which have aftermarket counterfeit cases and dials. The movements are usually pulls from plated cased watches, so the movements can be real, but this is basically a pig in lipstick.
The aged color of the lume on this is also a giveaway. The coloring is too even and a bit dark. It takes looking at 100s of examples to see what is wrong. Many here have done just that.

Deja vu all over again.
We should sticky a post at the top that says: 'Are you a noob thinking of buying a 1960s SM300? Don't. Just dont.

·Yep. I thought I did enough research. Assumed the steel sweeping second hand was a service hand or variation, which turned out to NOT be enough research. These really are a minefield...

·The easiest way to tell its fake is to google the fake kits and compare.

·You need to look at a lot of genuine examples and familiarise yourself with the nuances of the case, its contours, the bezel and its edges, the caseback engraving, the dial font. The fakes look ridiculously obvious when you know what you’re looking at.

·I do think that these references and Tudor subs are the two worst things to buy currently.
