Seamaster Apnea - any owners on OF?

amiriqbal

On my Internet travel I've stumbled across this very cool looking Seamaster. Don't see much on the forum re this watch.

Any owners on OF have one?? If so what are your thoughts?.... Looks to be quite thick..

However a unique and novel watch.

Also wondered what thoughts were on pricing of these second hand? Don't seem to be massively desirable..

Thanks in advance guys 😀

Hi @amiriqbal

I had one - it is thicker than the other Seamaster 300 models, and quite a bit heavier too on a bracelet.

A cool watch, with some weird functionality, that is not for everyone.

Anything over £2500 is high I think, given that they are not all that common, but also not particularly desirable.

Why is the watch named apnea? Acronym for something? Or watch so gorgeous, it leaves one breathless?

The sleep sickness (which i have) also has to do with losing breath.

Free diving, that's interesting! I didn't realize that.

I suspect that diarrhea also means something relatively benign in Greek. Or at least it probably did originally.

Edit: "Flowing through" according to the internets.

What are the pushers for?

But when it comes to marketing a product, we have seen missteps before like the Chevy Nova... there’s a long and hilarious history of companies not thinking a name through.
