I am new to watch collecting and I currently own a sub 16610 (2001) and a Black Bay 58. I really do want to add an Omega model to my collection and I have decided on going for the seamaster model given I prefer divers. I would like the one I choose to hold its value aswell as increase over the next 5 years or so as well as an increase in desirability (I'm not asking for much lol). The three I am unsure of are as follows:
1. Model No: 210.30.42.20.01.001
2. Model No: 233.30.41.21.01.001
3. Model No: 234.10.39.20.01.001
The third option is part of the limited trilogy release but I've read that given that over 3000 pieces were released it may not be as desirable moving forward. I am drawn to option 2 despite it being 15mm thick.
Given that I am new to this I would appreciate any advice you guys would have on what you think would be a smart buy. Thanks in advance.

 

May be good to put up a visual reference.. aka a photo.. to assist.

I would say go with a watch you like as the investment value is always tricky to discern on modern watches.

 

Sorry about that. Here they are.

 

I'm not sure these are vintage pieces.

 

No I don't think any of them are. They were all released circa 2017. The 3rd option is a limited edition I think.

 

In that case, you might get more feedback in the Modern Omega Forum than the Vintage Forum.

 

Go with the one you like. As for value increase, I don't think the 2 latter ones will go up a lot in value.

 

If I had to select one of the 3 above, it would be the Trilogy. Do consider the outgoing Speedmaster Pro as your intro to Omega though. If I had to narrow down my collection to 2, it would be a Sub and a Speedmaster. A red 1680 and an early 105.002 to be exact.

 

This is probably a good idea. I'm still trying to navigate my way around the forum. Thanks for the heads up.

 

Thanks for this. Is there any particular reason you would go with the trilogy? If I'm honest I think I've narrowed it down to either the trilogy or the seamaster 300 which are very alike. I will defo want to add a Speedmaster Pro to the collection at a later stage for sure.

 

I'm not too interested in a significant increase as I'm not looking to make money of the watch in any way. I just really love the seamaster range. I think I'm now between the seamaster 300 and trilogy but would rather go with the option that is going to be more desirable down the line even if it does mean paying slightly more. They are both so similar.

 

For retaining value will be the Trilogy due to it being limited numbers in production. Next will be #2 the 300 Master Co-Axial since it is due to be phased out very soon with a updated model and prices have been slowly creeping up on these lately. It is a solid watch and a strap monster. I love mine and it is my go to everyday watch.

 

I know which one gets my vote from that selection :0)
But all very nice watches.

 

Thanks for this. Really helpful info. I am between #2 and #3 for sure.

 

Looks absolutely stunning mate. I like that this one is 39mm- a real sweet spot. Its defo a hard choice between #2 and #3.

 

My vote is for #2, it is a watch I plan to keep for life. It goes with me everywhere.

 

Looks great on the Nato too. I actually already have #2 it was a bit if research I undertook into #3 which has me in two minds.

 

I would go for no. 3.
