The question I have is, how many of them existed originally? As I recall, the Seamaster had a comparatively short tenure as a Royal Navy watch. In fact, I've always been curious how popular the Seamaster was as a dive watch. I started diving in the 70's, and never encountered one. Ever. Rolex/Tudor, Seiko, Doxa and a dozen diveshop special watches, absolutely. But no Omegas. Now, people seem to think the Seamaster 300 was some sort of legendary diving icon. Where? If it was popular, they should be as common as vintage subs. On the military side, if it was a staple for service divers, where are they all now?
