·Hey folks,
So, I've been looking to get an Omega diver back into my collection. I had a 45.5mm PO that started this whole craze, but i sold it to get and try other stuff. Figured 45.5mm was too big for me anyways.
Anyways, I have some options.
1) The original Seamaster 300, 165.024
On ebay, its asking for around 6250 USD, but i suspect it to hit about 8000-9000 USD
2) Watchco Seamaster 165.024
Or
3) A planet Ocean 2500D
I'm wondering if anyone has a collection of the 2500D and a watcho/original 165.024 to compare the size? I understand its all 42mm, and about 48mm lug to lug, but wrist presence wise, are they similar?
Another major factor to my decision to choose is obviously my budget. I have given up on my 5513 dreams but to snag a 165.024 in its original condition, would be a great way to get into the whole diving era with tritium dial etc.
I reckon I can go up to 8500 USD but that's the max ceiling for me.
What do you guys think?
