    I've recently discovered the 9300 De Ville and am considering adding it to my stable (2 PO's and a Speedy). I'd love to see some pics and thoughts from owners or just anyone who's interested in offering his/her opinion, thanks!

    Its from 1968, far too old for you, and its 36mm, far too small for you, I'm thinking.

    Why would you assume I don't like vintage or small pieces? I have the 37.5mm PO's and my first Omega was a 60's Seamaster. No need to be so condescending.

    In no way did I intend to be condescending...I apologize if it came off that way. You're looking at these big 44mm cal. 9300 modern Omegas and usually big watch guys don't really the wear the smaller vintage watches, I assumed incorrectly.:oops:

    Ok, sorry for the misunderstanding. I think the De Ville is 42 actually, I could definitely not pull off a 44.

    No worries, I was under the impression that the 9300 required the larger 44mm case, just shows how much I don't know!:eek:

    I think they get smaller than that with a 41.5mm Speedy '57, but I really hope the next in house chrono movement can be fit into a 38 or 39mm case.

    Here's mine. Just bought it a couple of weeks ago. Got an incredible deal. It's very well designed, extremely comfortable, and doesn't feel abnormally tall or too thick.
