Yeah, I'll go straight to the nearest watchmaker next weekend. Kind of a long drive to the nearest, that's why I'm not there already.
I have a picture from the inside of the watch given from the seller: http://img201.imageshack.us/my.php?image=373ey1.jpg
As you can see it's a quartz. To me it looks exactly like inside of a genuine quartz-seamaster they show in this guide, and that's what made me buy it in the first place: http://www.pmwf.com/Watches/ARTICLES/TwoOmegaSeamaster/A%20real%20and%20a%20fake%20Omega%20compared.htm
: Actually, you may be okay. I helped Pete with
: that buyer's guide, and I remember that he,
: too, was under the impression that Omega did
: not put their symbol on the He valve. Every
: Seamaster I ever bought has the logo on the
: valve, but I wondered if Pete had seen some
: older but genuine models that didn't.
: It is also possible that someone did replace
: the valve, so I HIGHLY SUGGEST that your
: watchmaker remove the caseback. If the
: movement is stamped "Omega 1120",
: then you know you don't have a fake Chinese
: movement in your watch.
: When in doubt, ALWAYS check the movement.
: Good luck,
: John
