    The seller lives not too far away from me. I'm happy to drive out and inspect for a modest fee :p

    It's all in the details.

    The details the seller hasn't mentioned.

    That is just a watchco...not a fraud, just a made up new watch.

    Swiss on dial, no patina and perfect condition point to a watchco...here is my vintage 67 for comparison.

    It would help if you elaborate further in your posts then.
    How? You didn't really ask any questions of offer any opinion?

    Are you asking for opinions on the watch and whether it's a vintage example, one made from modern service parts or an outright fake?

    Looks like a fine example of a " new" genuine Omega Seamaster 300 Watchco. Movement serial # dates it, the donor movement not the whole watch, to around 1965. With bracelet should go for $3,200 - $3,500 USD. Not true vintage.
