That looks like the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Edition….but it’s not. It has an incorrect seconds hand. It may be a Franken or flat out fake. Hard to tell

That’s what I was afraid of. It’s quartz and doesn’t have the Olympic logo on the seconds hand so it’s not the Vancouver.
It looks like a 2542.20 with a red bezel.
Maybe someone took the red bezel off of the Vancouver edition (212.30.41.20.04.001) and put it on a 2542.20. If that is the only change, I don't think it is the end of the world, but it begs the question as to what else is wrong.

Vancouver edition doesn't have a wave dial, has applied logo, and "Seamaster" is in red above the pinion (probably more differences as well) in addition to the stuff mentioned above.

Yea I think I’m going to stay away from it. It was a very good price but it’s too sketchy for my liking

Too many red flags, the details are a little off. The hands, the bezel, the date window, and the "quality" of the bracelet, all strange

As stated by others, that model doesn’t exist. Also, at least the bezel is not authentic, the SLN capsule being overly large and dome-shaped, whereas the original ones are flat.
