Hi! A while back I found an online listing for a what looked like a 2599.80.00 except it was in solid gold. I can't find that anymore, but there is this: http://www.ofrei.com/omega-watch-hands-caliber-1164.html which is the only photo I can find, and has the model number as 2698.80.00.

Does anyone have any info on it? How many were made? How much they originally cost? Where to buy one?

Does anyone own one and want to share some photos? Thanks!

How to get one....

Not a huge seller due to solid gold dive watches with chronos never being a huge market.

Start hunting... set eBay alerts for gold Seamaster and other terms.

Here is the variant on leather strap which I never saw a official one up for sale but the solid gold model are really rare they usually go used for around 12,000usd depending on condition and paperwork that go with it, I saw it go up to 15k-16kusd in mint condition and as low as 10,000usd but that was a while back when the price of gold was a little lower.
