I would appreciate any thoughts on the authenticity of the following... not sure what I'm looking for:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Omega-Seama...254-50-MINT-/321826475074?hash=item4aee5a4c42

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Omega-Seama...matic-Watch-/171883087750?hash=item280507c786

Thanks in advance.

the first one got relumed dial ( triangle, 5 minuntes and 10 minutes index) no Cards.
the second looks fine.
If I were u I would buy number two.馃榾

Unless the bracelet was switched, that is a 2054.50. Merely an FYI.
The lume on the triangle at the top is the weirdest part, looks quite strange

Agreed. It looks like someone put a luminous sticker over the 12 o'clock marker.

Thanks all for advice. Bought the second one. Before I leave feedback, is there anyway I can confirm the authenticity? It looks good, but would like to be 100%...

100%? Then your best bet is to take it to an AD or boutique for verification. I don't think anyone could give you an ironclad guarantee just from pictures. However, that watch looks 100% to me. The bracelet is the correct style, and the serial # on the cards appears to match the one on the watch lug (pic is fuzzy). The only thing fishy I see about the deal is the fact that there are 2 warranty cards, and the one that actually has a date and dealer stamp has no reference # or serial #, so this watch may well have been a gray market original purchase with no Omega warranty. Of course, that's meaningless at this point, because the warranty would have expired by now. At least you know the age of the watch for maintenance purposes.

Looks good to me as well. Mine is a dead ringer for it. But I agree with others, take it to an AD and have it confirmed but I doubt if you have anything to worry about. Happy to send pics of mine to you with case back off. Personally, for peace of mind, take it to your local AD, get the Ok then wear it in good health.

Ps. These are a beautiful ref. this is one of my few keepers as I think the cal. 1120 will prove itself (if it hasn't a,ready) one of the great work horse movements.
