Ive bought and then sold so many of the SM300s 'cos something else came along' that I decided this time to build one and keep it... so I have one being built up for me by a watchmaker and its a keeper... no really... er... ok, I will actually promise this time I will keep it and it will be a daily wear...

 

Oh dont get me wrong, I never regretted the purchases, I just missed the sm300 each time. I find the sm300 to be the perfect everyday and holiday watch, especially if you build one and use a new case as its solid and dependable and has WR etc. Slimline and good looking and nicer than a modern SMP etc etc.

 

..............I can't for a moment or contemplate for a secound to part with my SM300........and if I ever did I'am confident I would just be tasked to get another.....out of sheer love of the watch.

It will be difficult for someone with such a spectacular example to find any reason to part with this classic factory-original beauty with a naturally-grown patina, barring fire-sale or old age - when his eyesight fails him.

Just to test the waters, try putting it up for sale with 'highest offer gets' and more than probably, you will be inundated with lots of offers that you will find difficult to refuse. Whatever still, you will hold tight to this beauty-queen that will never age.

Thank-you.

 

Very nice and useful review. Thx. This could be my next purchase

 

This thread helped me decide to get one of these and did so recently...


Excellent review with excellent pictures.

And yes the lume is very good.

 

Hi all, I am searching for a new watch. I almost pulled the trigger on a 42mm PO. I have some hesitation because I do not like the valve crown on the PO en Seamaster Professional. I owned the GMT for a while but it was not a keeper. Recently I read some posts here and on WUS about the Seamaster 300 Watchco version. IMO a beautiful watch with a vintage look. One piece is for sale here and located within the EU. I like the watch but something does not feel good yet. The price is about € 1.800 for a watch without warrantee in the EU from a distributer and what puzzles me is that there are some doubts whether Omega would consider this watch as a genuine Omega watch or not. Yesterday I read on WUS that a member has ordered the watch and Customs in Germany consider the watch, after some research via Omega, as a fake Omega Seamaster?! Thread
http://forums.watchuseek.com/f20/watchco-sm300-final-verdict-omega-558085.html. This was discussion in 2011. My question is: will Omega service this watch when needed or not. Are there some experiences about it. Furthermore what do you think is a reasonable value for a vintage looking watch built from NOS genuine Omega watch parts.

 

Great job Ash & Trev. A perfect review & collection of pics from both of you.

 

I really want this watch. And it is kind of different that I'm putting it together. I'm not hung up on the vintage stigma. Everything is omega. Everything is correct. I'm doing it . Little by Little I'm getting these things. I only hope supply doesn't beat me to the finish line.

 

Thanks really great post and pics!!!
