So I am new to watches and do not own a watch myself yet, but I have recently gotten interested in them and especially vintage omegas. I have been looking for vintage omegas and found a 1970s seamaster 366.0848 one on eBay. I am not really sure what to look for when trying to see if the watch is authentic and/or has all authentic parts. Please let me know what to look for and if the price in the listing is a good price. Let me know if it’s a good deal! Thanks.

Welcome to the forum. Searching eBay, I assume this is the one you are talking about. The description says it all - the dial is refinished (not original from Omega), the caseback is the wrong one for the watch, and the crystal is unsigned (probably aftermarket). Read the details carefully and you’ll pick up on all these points that are present in the description, but worded carefully to try to hide it.

If that's the watch I'd keep looking. List your specific preferences for a vintage Omega. That would help us too. Original red dial vintage Omega's are very uncommon. For the kind of money you're willing to spend, with some patience, you'll find a terrific serviced authentic Omega. And this is Omega's description of that reference number. link > 366.0848 and one more link of a nice description of this model > 366.0848
To add, I did purchase my all original solid 14k 1973 Omega Geneve, serviced, original box and papers, from this seller a couple of years ago. No problems. However I am not familiar with their current quality. Their description of the watch in question, read carefully, seems honest enough.
