Hello guys,

I need to know how to know the authenticity of a Sea Master. I will attach some pictures as well. Thanks in advance. :)

uhh isn't the date supposed to be black?

The numbers on the sub dials are also wrong...I feel this is a fake...

Many bad fakes use an Aqua Terra bracelet... Which this has. Run! Definitely a fake. Dial is wrong, as George said the date wheel is wrong... I could go on if you like? Bad fake, don't buy it

Thanks! A guy wanted $4800, he said he had an offer for $1600 on the table. Which set off some red flags. No way I'm going to buy this.

Definitely fake. Off the top of my head:

(1) Bezel pip not centered in triangle (missing the pip as well)
(2) Case around the crown is wrong
(3) Date wheel is wrong color and the number is the wrong orientation
(4) HE valve sticks out too far and is in the wrong location
(5) Chrono dial numbering is wrong
(6) Looks like wrong bracelet

Need better front on pic including HEV to determine if locatlon is correct.
