Sorry to hear that!
I bought it from Spain a year ago.
From Chrono24 online...
It s a Real Omega! For sure!

Do you think so? To start, your "Seamaster" has a tachymeter bezel which is never used on a diver or non-chrono watch. Then lack of any thickness in the indices, poor lettering, thick date font. On the back the lettering is filled black but it shouldn't, plus no circular finishing. etc. Compare to the picture below from a current ebay listing, about which I don't guarantee authenticity either.

If you want another opinion you can post on WUS in the Omega section, but I suggest you take better pictures, and with the case back removed.

Also, I hope you didn't bought in the present conditions? I'm surprised that Chrono24 allowed this watch to be listed.

Thank you for your excellent info!

This watch run perfectly.

But since I change it the battery it stop fonctioning.

I send it to the UK Repair Service center it call Repair by Post.

They ask me for 670 BP it s about 750€ to repair it.

I cancel the repair, they send it back to me, it will arrive in few days.

But they never talk about Fake watch.

I know the bezel it s not original.

But the inside movement are Omega I read it on it. I will send the picture soon I got the watch.

Anyway... I bought from ebay another old Omega Seamaster Professional to replace the movement.

Here the photos of theis watch.

I would love to know where I can buy parts for it.

Great thanks for your great info!

Omega restrict parts, it would be easier to get ETA movm't or parts e.g. on Cousins UK. They report to have gilted hands, X22164.

Please post pictures of your Seamaster on Watchuseek.com, let us know what people there thinks about it.

Thanks for your efforts.

Hello Thomas please pm me when you get the watch back and I will be happy to guide you through the procedure to replace the quartz movement and hands. With regard to removing the winding stem and afterwards the hands, I would suggest you procure the following which are readily available off eBay (just check origin and associated delivery date first or you may be in for a long wait): -

Brass watch tweezers
Watch movement cushion
Hand removal levers (pair)
Hand re-fitting tool
Watch makers screwdriver set (budget / low cost unless you intent to make this a future hobby)
Adjustable watch back removal tool
Clean table, some time and a patient mood.

Sadly, I cannot comment on authenticity of your watch - but would tend to think you would have been advised if the watch was not original?

    • that band is old as stated, there is a kit that pops up from time to time on selling sites for the repair of these type bands, some of this type are adjustable on a few links, one adjustable type allows you to align the round opening in the expansion slit [like yours] with the rivet to separate, but if yours won't come out then the rivet head is too big and will have to be done with some rivet removal and replacement, I suppose if you could make/optain the correct rivets that one could alter the said band, the tops/caps do lift off after raising the tabs....  
    • This is a watch from a friend who sent it to a neighborhood watchmaker for a battery change. It came back with the watch stem in a ziplock bag and the dial skewed 20°. The watchmaker told him that the stem was faulty and the watch cannot be repaired. I opened up the watch and found that one dial foot was broken off and still stuck in the movement, while the other was bent until it was flat against the dial. The stem could be inserted but it couldn't be pulled out to quickset and time adjusting positions. I did a full disassemble, cleaned and oiled the movement. But when it put in the battery, the second hand runs super fast. Like it gains 30 mins every hour. Any advice on fixing this problem? TIA.
    • I determined that the balance staff is rotating, not the roller table, so my second attempt at riveting was unsuccessful. I have ordered a new balance staff and will take measurements when it arrives. The balance staff i originally ordered (and now reordered) was specified as: Replacement balance staff: (A. Schild Caliber 984 1002 1021 1124 Original Balance Staff Part 723) so it should be correct. Measurements: (see pic below for terminology) xxxyy is a place holder until the new balance staff arrives. Lower pivot: Old - .08 mm New - xxxyy Lower pivot to balance seat: Old - 1.53 mm New - xxxyy Roller shoulder: Old - .42 mm New - xxxyy Hub: Old - xxxyy New - xxxyy Balance shoulder: Old - .86 mm New - xxxyy Collet shoulder: Old - .56 mm New - xxxyy Upper pivot: Old - broken New - xxxyy
    • Hello and welcome from Leeds.  We're here to help. 
    • I was just about to adk that, probably they have unnecessary waiting lists to make their watches appear more exclusive than they actually are.
