    Hi All,

    First off, I'm not looking to buy this….it just seems very cheap and is just sitting out there. Is this a fake? Is the SM 120 that much cheaper than the vintage SM 300?

    I'm just trying to learn this crazy world of vintage Omega's and this seems like an "underpriced" item.

    Simple answer, yes.

    Price is about right, would be a couple hundred more if it were the automatic version. Bracelet isn't really correct either.

    Looks authentic to me and it's the men's size at 37mm. There is a smaller one for ladies at 34mm, iirc. This is much lower priced compared to SM 300 as they are not as sought after by collectors. The price on this one actually looks quite compelling though. May be wrong so wait for others to chime in.

    I think it looks better than the 300...

    I think this is the first time in my life that I prefer the cheaper option!

    Maybe someday I will pick up an automatic version. The 601 does not seem exciting!

    Did one of you just buy this? It just dropped off. If so, congrats!

    If I were after a '120', I would go for this since it is much cheaper than the '300'.

    This belongs to a friend of mine.

    Thank you.

    I have never ever seen an Omega vintage diver watch in better condition than this one.

    Is this listing, genuine?

    Thank you.

    Probably a WatchCo put together. They had all these parts available a while back. I considered one, but then for what I'd want it for it would be stupid to use anything but a Seiko.

    Amongst all the SM diver watches, which one you think is most sought-after by collectors.

    Thank you.
