Seamaster 300 Vintage

I came across this watch for sale. I don't have any experience with these Omegas other than I have wanted one for some time. Any knowledgeable responses positive or negative would be greatly appreciated. Hands and lume plots still fire but not the bezel. Back case was ground down by previous owner years ago still some detail visible. I presume red second hand not original? Any thoughts?

That one doesn't seem quite right. The hands all look like replacements, and the dial looks like it has been re-lumed. Also, I'm not sure the numerals on the bezel should be a different color than the minutes indices in between them.

I think I would keep looking.

That watch is a terrible and ugly fake. Dial and bezel have several tell tale signs. See links below

Thanks for the pic, very nice watch you have. Yes it was terrible but had an authentic movement, so it threw me off at first. Appreciate the input.
