Hi!
I would very much appreciate an expert opinion on my first vintage purchase. It was sold on a small sunday fair in Barcelona, stating to be an original Omega seamaster of about 1975, no papers no case. I do love it needless to say but I still couldn't find this exact model anywhere on the web...
thanks

There is a reason that you can't find its match online. The movement is the biggest tell (and then the case back).
I hope that you didn't pay too much and that it keeps reasonable time.

Thanks for the reply, fortunately I didn't pay to much, but I will try to return it since its not an original right?
The movement is not original?
Sometimes ignorance is bliss. You love it, it might be better not knowing.
There are smarter folks on here than I am. Omega finished its movements to a high degree and this falls way short. I think that it is a 1970's Hong Kong fake. Definitely get another opinion.
Thanks guys, could snap a photo of the inner side of the buckle, it has a reference number
