Suspicious SM 120 135.027 on Ebay

sonicosa · Jul 20, 2020

My friend sent me this watch this morning, because he thought the price was crazy. I noticed it has the dial with the gray text and Seamaster spelled "Seanaster" that are tells of modern aftermarket fakes.

To me, the lume looks aged consistently with a watch in great condition from this period. So what do people think about this one? I wish there was a straight on shot of the caseback, as that has been another "tell" for these fake SM120s I rely on, but there isn't one.

Curious to hear other's thoughts, maybe the dial and hands were baked to get the lume to look like this?

No-one said it was a 300 (or have I missed something?)

No it was a remark in relation to the price.

My vote for a fake. Aging looks artificial, case finish is wrong, no dings on the case/case back, print is not white etc.

That is my feeling as well. It seems these fakes are a few details away from becoming very difficult to distinguish from genuine watches, which is quite unfortunate.

True, however so far still easy to identify. especially if you handed a few originals before they really jump at you.
