Few guidelines to distinguish... *PIC*

Can anyone give me a few guidelines to distinguish
a real Seamaster Midsize Quartz from a fake?

I'm probably going to buy one (with papers, box etc.) from a private seller, so I really want to see quickly if it's real or not.

I figured out some markers:

1. There must be an Omega logo below the Seahorse on the back
2. The top marker of the bezel must fall into the triangle and may not thrust out (only the little iron "ring")
3. There must be a little illuminating piece on the right side of the date
4.....
5.....

Can someone please "complete" this list?
I can recognize bad fakes, but I really can use some help recognizing "good" fakes.

Thanks a lot!

P.S:
We're talking about the watch on the picture.
