Killramos wroteHeck - any excuse to post this up. Had it services a couple years ago. Got it around year 2000.The 300m is just such a classic watch with perfect proportions and face. Makes it an easy choice to be my daily watch for work.
I took it diving this summer for shits and giggles and it was awesome!

Yeah, the watch is generally like a concrete block. I wore it just about every day for more than 10 years and it still looked really good. Then I got it serviced and it's more of an occasional now (for the last few years). My daily is a VC Overseas now, which looks great too. Stainless Steel watches are like tanks. I've learned not to stress too much over scratches. Eventually, you just send it in with your first born and it comes back looking brand new. The good news is, that if you just keep having kids they'll except the eldest remaining as substitute "first born".
jtodd_fl wroteYeah they are solid. Thinking of picking up a Sub sometime down the road (older model as I find the newer ones look too bulky/square).Ugh. You're ok, though?

Scraped part of the bracelet and my left arm but thankful nothing more serious. I didn't even trip. Chalked them up as battle scars.
UglyBuzzard wroteI have the same watch - mine is a quartz movement that I picked up for travel when I don't want to wear my regular Omega, a 2296.80.00 Seamaster chrono in titanium, rose gold and tantalum.One of my Omega's - love the feel of this one...
PS - this is another of my Omegas and particularly suited to a German car site as they only sold them in Germany and Switzerland. They are generally called Teutonic Speedmasters, c. 861

Couple more of my Omegas:
3523.80 Speedmaster (pen is an unusual modern Waterman, the Serenite):
Pie pan Constellation from 1960s:
1956 cal. 500 with period band that mates well with the appearance of the watch:
One of my few Quartz watches, a 2342.80:

couple from the 1950's. Put a new dial from 1994 special edition in the lower one, perfect fit!
hockey wroteWow. Gorgeous. I see you have a "type". Small seconds, dauphine hands. Well, outside of that, there are a lot of differences too. The very classic top one and the very modern (for its time) lower one. Awesome. Thanks for sharing.couple from the 1950's. Put a new dial from 1994 special edition in the lower one, perfect fit!
Beautiful, especially that second two tone dial!

SaMaster14 wrotei want the watch box =)Hey watch fiends! I started the main threads for Rolex and Tag Heuer and I know there is a Panerai master thread, so after purchasing my first Omega, I thought I would start a thread for the brand!
Share your Omega watches, ask questions and start discussion!!
Here is my first Omega:
Seamaster 300 "Spectre" Limited Edition. (limited to 7,007 pieces worldwide, only about 1000 came to the US)
It is my favorite Seamaster by far with both the NATO strap and stainless steel band. I'm used to having a date on my watch (my daily driver is still my Rolex GMT Master II), but I'll get used to it! I love the subtle elegance of the watch, and the build quality and movement are wonderful.
Also for anyone in the West LA/Beverly Hills area, the service at the Omega Boutique at the Beverly Center was first class! They didn't discount the watch, but I did receive a free bottle of Bollinger Champagne, a leather carrying case for the watch, a beautiful leather notebook portfolio/small laptop/ipad carrying case, a coffeetable book describing the history of Omega and more!
Here are a few photos! Share yours!
cruisingdownthestreet wroteIt's very cool! Actually locks too (passcode is set to "007" haha)i want the watch box =)
ccdre wroteThats my next buy. Love that watch 😍😍😍Here's my 42mm Planet Ocean
Anyone have any pointers for someone (myself) who's looking for a used Speedmaster pro, 38mm? I see the prices range from 1k to 3k, but cannot tell which are fakes or not. What's a good price for these as well?
