I just checked in the Bay...
In Response To: Nope, he's right. ()

ALL the case backs that I could find ( with 1 exception .. see below) were fakes.

Most of these watches are between 300 & 400 dollars, a couple have "buy it now" prices of around 800 dollars.

I especially love the one with a 565 movement, but it doesn't have a date opening in the dial !

The only one I could find with a legitmate case back, is marked as a "Seamaster DeVille" on the dial & has no numbers on the dial... re-dial ? dunno, but at 850 dollars, it's just a joke.

I would be VERY careful about buying a vintage Seamaster 300. There are a LOT of fakes around.
