OMEGA 1957 Trilogy Limited Editions – Railmaster, Seamaster 300, Speedmaster’57

Thanks RTK27. So lug-to-lug the LM is c.2mm larger while its diameter is 2mm smaller. All in, as you said more or less, 2 distant cousins. If I were you, I would sell the Rolex sub. When I look at the picture above, I can't help thinking that Omega has turned into being a lot more attractive and much more promising brand than Rolex over time.

Darn, I hope I didn't make a mistake going with RM over seamaster...

Hi pal what price?

Livesimply11

The more I see the Seamaster 300, the more I want to switch my deposit over. The countdown bezel, the recessed lume, the perfect diver size, LITERALLY everything is 10/10. This is a huge problem because I only have funds for one watch this year, and it's already going towards the Speedy. Damn all you enablers!!

The only thing holding me back is the sapphire crystal. If it was acrylic like the original 300, I'd be all over it. For now, I think I'm set on the Speedmaster, but please continue to post pictures and let me live vicariously through you. 😁

List price. It's an AD.

As requested:
Overall the LE has a much lighter feel too it and way more vintage. The 300 MC is large and robust in comparison, its heavier as well. The lumeplots are a lot deeper recessed on the MC a detail I enjoy. Bezel action is clickier on the LE and smoother on the MC. One thing that is al lot larger on the LE is the Naid Crown.

Any questions please let me know

What is the list price in the U.K.? I'm still in shock that they are reported to be the equivalent of $2000 cheaper than the USA price thanks to the exchange rate. That would be worth sending a nephew on a weekend trip there and back! Still come out $1000 ahead!

Seamaster 300 is £5200.

...maybe a little more if you can endure the Kafka-esque VAT refund process at Heathrow.

I'm seriously considering flipping my 114060. Worn once in the past 3 months.

Noooo! My gosh man! The Sub is one of the cornerstones of your collection! 🙁

Perhaps one, or both, of these will complete your collection of iconic dive watches, solesman!
