Show us your Seamaster

Forgive me if there is already a thread on this..I see the Moonwatch getting a lot of love (as it should do) but would like to pay homage to the Seamaster! Mine is the newer version and I adore the waves. Would love to also buy a blue one but might be a bit much to have two of them. Show us yours! 😀
Regrettably, I just took my blue Seamaster Diver 300M Master Co-axial on the bracelet off my wrist after 3 continuous days of wear as it needed a rest, poor thing. So I'll send the photo another time. For the moment, I've just strapped on my IWC Da Vinci Laureus Sport for Good chronograph with a lovely blue dial. Find it hard to stay away from anything with a blue dial but even harder to stay away from anything modern Omega. Despite the fact that I've already got the blue version of of Diver 300M Master, I love the watch so much that I just ordered another one yesterday in the green dial and bezel. I agonised between it and the black dial version for over a week, but the green won out. When it arrives, hopefully Friday or Monday, I'll take a photo and upload it. Parhaps even the two of them together.

Great watches and great pictures! The Seamaster family spans so many decades and styles it‘s hard not to get drawn into collecting them if you have an interest in Omega.
Some of my current and former, in no particular order 😉.


Sorry for the low quality insta grabs, I‘m to lazy right now to go through 30k+ pictures on my phone .

Beautiful condition!

They're a fantastic watch, underappreciated & undervalued too at the moment IMO so a good time to buy. It's unusual for none to be for sale in the UK. They're not so scarce of late as they were when I bought mine, I wonder if part of that was the release of the white dial ceramic Seamaster 300 giving further white dial options. Just stay on the search as I'm sure more will be for sale soon enough.
Saw one for sale on eBay yesterday. Can't say which country it was located in, though.

Just got a Seamaster Diver 300M Summer Blue on the rubber strap last week and I'm loving it. This is my first Omega and first post on this forum. A few thoughts and questions after owning this watch for a few days:

- I love how this watch looks and wears on the rubber strap, I think it's the best combination. It's not that I dislike the OEM steel bracelet, I think it's good and complements the watch nicely, but I think the steel mesh bracelet looks even better so I ultimately decided to buy it on the rubber and purchase the mesh later to have a metal bracelet option
- I spent countless visits to ADs and quite some time looking at the summer blue vs the regular blue Seamaster before buying it, but at the end I think the summer blue dial really stands out and looks better in my opinion. However, I would add that the dial reflection gives it a more luxurious feeling compared to the regular Seamaster dials, as a consideration for those who prefer a more tool-watch look
- Other controversial features about this reference model I either like or don't really mind. For me, the skeleton hands look great, and I don't really mind the helium escape valve; I think they both add to the watch's very characteristic looks. The bezel action is great and I find it easy to grip with bare hands, but definitely not quite as good as my Pelagos 39
- I am very afraid to damage the AR coating while wearing it. I usually wear long sleeve shirts or sweaters and am afraid the coating will get damaged by the crystal constantly rubbing the fabrics. In your experience, is this really an issue or is the coating strong enough to withstand this frequent rubbing? I saw older posts about AR coating issues, but haven't seen much recently about it, does anybody know if Omega has improved the coating? or is it still an issue with current models?

Here are some watch pics:

My Tokyo 2020 is now on a Zealande strap, the colour match is brilliant.

Welcome! Great pics of a great watch.

Scratches will come sooner or later and the AR coating will scratch more easily than bare sapphire. The sooner you stop worrying, the sooner you will enjoy your watch even more. Its after all a tool watch.
