I do not know if I am allowed to ask for help regarding authentication or watchco seamasters so please if i am doing anything wrong delete! I am trying to buy my second "vintage" omega and my first seamaster/vintage diver in general. I won this on the bay for 1500 and it looks strongly like the watch co one.

 

The square date window a dead give away for watchco

Check out the date window on mine for the difference. Vintage ones the corners are rounded.

 

So it’s a watchco one?

 

It has a non-screw down crown, so I don’t think it’s a “watchco”. It does have a service dial, with possibly painted lume to look like patina. I believe the bezel is an aftermarket/fake and the caseback looks wrong too, it’s too flat. The case doesn’t look quite right either and it’s badly polished anyway. I would walk away, fast.

 

walking away!! lol

 

he said he bought it off ebay

 

“he bought it off eBay” does not add any information.

You say the seller is willing to take $1,500, which is about half of the current value of a “watchco” and maybe 25% of a vintage one. Why do you think the price is so low?

 

service pa

service parts or fakes lol i guess you are right, no bargains to be found anymore

 

woof...dial, bezel...prob all fake

 

So you committed to a legally binding contract and you're walking away?

(I'm ignoring the fact that you bought a suspect watch without prior research).

 

call the police lol

the seller admitted to it having fake parts and cancelled my transaction

Didn't you just say that you cancelled the transaction?

 

TRANSACTION CANCELED, I MADE 2 THREADS SORRY EVERYONE

 

If you dont know what your doing, the odds of finding a bargain are slim to none. If you want to find a bargain, then spend time educating yourself first...then with this knowledge and after years of searching you just might get lucky and find a bargain. If you dont have patience, and aren't willing to spend the time to educate yourself first before buying then you're better off buying a lottery ticket.
Buying first and asking latter is just stupid if you dont know what you are doing.

Take the time and read these forums, look at images and wait until you have some knowledge before bidding. As a seller, there is nothing worse than dealing with fools who bid first and ask last. If you aren't prepared to pay for your mistakes you shouldn't be in the game.

i'm putting this on a tee shirt right now.

 

Seller sent me these photos and I’ve paid him via Paypal lol did I make a mistake

 

Well haven’t paid him yet but we’re texting about it now

 

Please start studying and stop using this word.

 

Well I’m posting here to study and learn. What’s the issue? I have NO aides about these. I know much more about vintage Rolex, Longines, and Chronographs. That’s why I’m asking help from the experts man

 

Idea* sorry for the typo I’m in class
