Pure fake .. Antiquorum fake :-) *LINKS*
This watch is ( with the exception of the movement ) 100% fake
Easy tell tale signs...
- Stubbies on the dial
- No "frame" around the date window
- An enourmous number of Miltary fakes have exactly this serial number on the case back.
A watch with exactly these military markings was recently sold in the Antiquorum sale => Lot 128
Anytime you see these markings you can be pretty sure you are looking at a fake.
I posted a little bit more info => In this post.
Please note the Antiquorum watch doesn't have a date & has different markings on the inside of the caseback ...... So when looking for a "real" SM300 you have to consider various details. Not all fakes are the same.
If you are looking for a miltary Seamaster 300 write down the numbers
W 10/6645-99-923-7697, A/254/67 & avoid any watch bearing them !
So, has Antiquorum also raised the price of fakes ? The Antiquorum fake reached about $33,000 ( including buyers premium). This eBay watch fetched $1,600. IMHO a fake is worth about $100 at MOST.
