SM Memomatic Vs. Dynamic

Hi OF,

I was looking to expand my Omega collection with a less common model/reference.

I was drawn to two models, the Memomatic and Dynamic Geneve, both with blue and white dials (Bullseye).

I opted for the Memomatic for the following reason:
1) Its a Seamaster like 90% of my collection
2) The size was attractive.
3) The alarm function is so cool and interesting
4) The crown and alarm pusher is new.

Case: 166.072
Caliber: 980
Ref #: 33,3xx,xxx
Year: 1971
Paid: USD 500

The watch needs servicing but runs well and the alarm functions BUT cuts out after six seconds.

Do you agree with my choice?

Please note I'll purchase the Dynamic in the future... it was offered for 250.

Chalk and cheese really, so it comes down to personal taste. I for one agree with you 100% between these models, whatever the merits of the individual examples here. I would change the bracelet on the MM though. I have kept my original 1170, but some people have worn these on shark mesh and they look way cool. Well done, good luck!

I agree with your choice. However, if you plan on eventually buying a dynamic, I would try to snag that one. $250 is a great price for a clean dynamic.

…or let me know if you decide to pass on it 🙄

The Memomatic is very cool, not seen or talked about a lot. I think you are going to enjoy it.

Buy both! But then I'm a sucker for a blue dial. Very good prices for both. I've been looking for a Dynamic on Ebay and haven't seen a good one anywhere near $250.

You guys just cost me another USD250.
Delightful 😀

You did good. You can throw that dynamic on ebay and probably double your money easily. I just threw one up for sale that was non-running with no strap, and had a damaged dial and it sold for $230. Enjoy it!
