Omega-Q
·Hi all, I am new to the forums. I've wanted to purchase an Omega my whole life as my father owns a vintage Omega issued to him in the military in the 1970s. I've only seen it twice and was too young to really appreciate what it was except that it was an Omega.
That being said, I finally have the means to be able to buy an Omega, and I have finally purchased my first one, and it was the Omega Diver Seamaster 300m 210.60.42.20.99.001. I was actually in the OB, and inquired about this watch and Grey SOTM Meteorite. When the rep informed me they actually had the diver I could see in person, my jaw dropped to the floor. The watch they had was one of three in the U.S. and the gentleman that put a deposit down on it was grabbing coffee thinking his purchase over. While he was out, I was able to try the watch on (see attached photos) and immediately fell in love with it. But, I had to mull over the purchase as well.
Approximately one hour later, the gentleman was looking over the watch again, and I walked into the OB and informed them I wanted to buy the watch. Unfortunately, he realized that I was going to buy that watch, so he made the decision to complete his purchase (knowing that I would buy it if he didn't).
I don't have the watch in hand yet, but I hope that I will at some point. All I have are two photos with the watch on my wrist!
I'm excited to join this community of enthusiasts. I hope to learn more about my most recent purchase, but as well as the other Omega watches. A "moon watch" is in my future! 😀
