So... I am actively shopping for a 3rd generation 41mm Seamaster Black face (plain) 2500D. Keep watching dsio"s postings and am very grateful for their work. Have a "few" on my watching list (ebay) and appreciate the information received in my "first" post here regarding pricing. My questions are specifically... Are there some "other" Omega Diver watches that perhaps I should be keeping an eye out for? In other words...am I loosing a potential "find" by concentrating on my "grail" watch - the 3rd generation 2500D blackface Seamaster? There are several that might "work" for my intended purpose (specifically Dress - as in Sport coat, Lucchese boots, etc), but I am focused at present on just the one. Thank you...
The PO 2201.50 also can be found with 2500d, but more commonly with 2500C. I was cross shopping vs the 300. It's a little more subdued, but similar.
Also the seamaster heritage is a fine looking piece but costs a little more. Pre-owned ones are coming up at good prices
Well the Tudor Harrods is availble for under 4k shipped... I'd take that over a Luminova Sub, and the price range for a tritium sub is out whack...
I don't know what you consider out of whack, but 1990s tritium Subs are in the $8k range these days. That may be expensive in absolute terms and not as affordable, but I'd wager that they will be significantly higher in 5 years.
They did come down. The 90s tritium pieces were the last to catch the wave on the way up, and the first to drop on the way down. I think it's probably a good time to buy them, especially if you can find one with nice lume, most are still pretty white unfortunately.
