Your advice/thoughts welcome on this beauty...

Hi.
My first post here.

I'm considering this:

https://www.chrono24.co.uk/omega/el...-with-tritium-dial-ref-198030--id19810053.htm

There are another couple available, but this one looks good, as does seller, etc.

I'd like to know your collective thoughts on whether I should go for it. I'm happy to spend a bit more on a decent one.
Also, your views on servicing and reliability would be appreciated. I know about 'Paul', but not much more.

Ultimately I'd like to own and regularly wear one of these. Happy for it to lose/gain a minute every couple of days.

I currently own a gorgeous big square Geneve- my fave out of my handful of watches.
thanks
Rob

p.s. how loud is the hum? is it like having a mosquito around? 😀

Regardless of the watch - those f300s aren't my forte - I'd strongly recommend to avoid the seller of the first one. The guy's been banned from this forum multiple times for his behavior and there are plenty of horror stories of the way Maximilian/Vintage Portfolio treats his customers.

Looks like a Telecaster FSR ‘72 custom.

Hope you don't mind posting links rather than saving loads of pics from the web and reposting. Will do all that if it's a widespread preference. Posting links allows you guys to adjudicate the whole offering, I guess, which really helps me.

Why? They are pretty much identical and all are chronometer rated. The sub brands have no meaning really within the f300 family, its just branding. Ok there are a couple of specialist Seamaster models with higher depth ratings but in the main they are much of a muchness.

Not the same guitar, but check out the name! Very smooth!
