Hello, someone is selling this used Seamaster 300 Spectre rep on a local online marketplace. What can you tell me about this watch? Is it worth getting? Or is it a shitter? Thank you. I’m new here.

Well it's in Turkey, and you know how it is, country is full of shitters and high end reps are almost 2 times as expensive. The seller is asking for $250, however I believe I can lower it.
Really bad shitter. I mean, seriously, did you even bother to compare it to a photo of a gen before you created this post?

It's not VSF. Agree with the sentiment that it's a low end rep. Compare with gen pictures and it becomes obvious. Wouldn't pay more than $100 for it.
If you have to ask the internet/RWI/don't know what you're looking at - don't buy it.

Hands-On: The Omega Seamaster 300 SPECTRE Limited Edition
It’s tough to shake the grip that Rolex has in the minds of watch enthusiasts and film buffs alike as the James Bond watch – first of all, it’s the watch that Ian Fleming wrote into the books; Fleming himself wore a Rolex, and the prototypical and original cinematic James Bond – Sean Connery –...

Actually without comparing I noticed that the markers are way too yellow and the strap is a terrible knockoff, the color, the transition between the black and grey, the metal parts and the font is incorrect. I also noticed that the bottom of the watch is from a regular Seamaster 300 not a SPECTRE. But trust me I've seen worse shitter than this for this watch because I've been looking for it for many years now and yet I still haven't been able to purchase one.
No actually I'm stationed in Turkey and I know the whole rep situation here - All shitters and full of scams. The problem is I'm really worried about purchasing from TDs due to Turkey's ridiculous tax laws - Basically over 30 Euros gets stuck - now couple that with a rep watch and it becomes worrying. I talked to Andiot and he said that he ships to Turkey so I'm planning to get one from him next month.
"I think I do"
Not even the bezel is correct - this one looks matte, while the Spectre has a super shiny one.
The hands also look off.
