Hello to every one,
I managed to drop down the price for this vintage Omega Seamaster 135.003 dated 1962 down to Euro 450 from the listing price of Euro 550.
I am quite a beginner into the Obema world and I am looking for help and advices to see if this watch is legit or a fake/rebuilt one.

Also, I do not see the 30 at the bottom of the dial, which seems to be quite common looking at the various model of this kind that I found on the internet

Let me know what you think, images attached

Thank you. I appreciate your feedback.
You are saying it because of the "ster" part of the Seamaster writing right?

Also the big S, and the Omega logo.
And the case is overpolished. Find another watch.

This is another watch I am observing at the moment. Negotiated price Euro 450. images attached.

Any thoughts about originality or reprinting issues as per my previous proposal?

Greatly appreciated

I'm no expert - but the movement in the second watch looks weird to me. I would be interested to know what calibre it is.

I think it's an Omega 1010 😉.

While not particularly elegant (like the attractive 500 series calibers), the later 1010+ were reasonable workhorses for Omega.

Thanks @JimInOz, because as you know, I know nothing about Omega so whatever I say is always a bit lf a shot in the dark. I do try to avoid statements which could be damaging to the owner of a legitimate watch however 😉

In the listing, it is not specified what kind of caliber the movement is

@Syrte and @JimlnOz thank you

Guys, This is the last question I make I promise.

What do you think about this third watch and is being sold as part of the stock, so never worn, still carries the original Omega warranty seal.
The crystal, crown, and strap buckle bear the original Omega logo.
It has had no work done other than a general overhaul recently.
Agreed price so far Euro 350

Your advices have been so helpful so far.
Thank you in advance.

Somehow you are managing to find one piece of junk after another. Please take a step back and spend a month reading and learning.

you have to buy a watch today, the one you like best. you know a reprint does not mean that it is to be thrown away, to read the timetable and to wear it is good, only if a collector wants to buy it he does not prefer it. that's all. what are you looking for a vintage watch to wear or a collector's item?

The last one unless you didn’t realize was a ladies watch. Since I’m a woman I would find it cute if it were half the price and if the dial was original— but it doesn’t look to me like it is.
