Omega Seamaster GMT 50th Anniversary Omega Seamaster GMT 50th Anniversary as first watch!!

Funny, that was my first “big” watch as well, but I purchased mine new in 2003. Sold it about 10 years later because I wanted something new. Wish I had kept it.

Only advice I have is if you want that particular version with the Bond-style bracelet and you want the correct bracelet, make sure you look carefully at the pictures. The bracelet for that model doesn’t have a diver-style clasp, but a more integrated one with a gold Omega logo. Like this (although this pic is from a 120m model).


The version with that bracelet was only available for a year or two (1998-2000). Later models had a Speedmaster-style bracelet with a larger diver’s clasp.

Only other advise is that if the hour hand starts slipping, it’s time for a service — this is a common fault. I had to have it fixed during warranty because of this. And independent can do it, but make sure they replace the hour wheel. If they don’t (and not all independents replace parts if they don’t have a parts account with Omega), you’ll still have the problem.
