A Constellation In 18k Or A Sm 300 165.024?

It is precisely because sports watches - divers or otherwise - are more likely to be used and abused that the excellent original examples are harder to locate, command a significant premium over average examples and should be sought after. I would argue that condition is even more important for these watches.

SM 300 is good, according to the discussion here: http://omegaforums.net/threads/sm-300-good-grab.2992/#post-33972

I am following it with intent, although it looks like it is going to be expensive.

I will admit to it, even though it violates my superstition about not speaking about a purchase until it is in my hands.

Absolutely agree with you Mike.

For that exact reason, specifically with those two examples, I would chose the SM over the Connie... but only for this example if we had to make a choice, one or the other of those two examples. That SM is in relatively good condition considering how hard it is to find one with that "character"!

Otherwise, and if it is superior condition I am looking for and have the cash to acquire one, I would definitely wait for that "special one" to come by....
