Omega

Working time but there’s always time to talk about watches. There’s something interesting with this two models: Seamaster Diver 300 M; caliber 1120; 41mm, reference 2531.80. So called PreBond. And The new Seamaster Diver 300 Coaxial; caliber omega 8800; r...  

. . . is a Bond. The easy way to tell is that it has a helium valve at 10. Pre-Bonds don't. As for preference, Omega cal 1120 movements can be tended by any watchmaker, which makes them a better long-term choice if servicing is an issue. Best, Art

I just can’t say which one I like the most but the truth is that having a movement that can be repair easily anywhere is a really important to have in consideration when you buy a watch. All the best my friend.

My first “serious” watch, and I still like it better than any of the models since. The wave pattern on the dial is more subtle, not noticeable in most light. The only pop of color is the tip of the sweep second hand. And the 3:00 date feels balanced again... 

This is becoming my favorite watch and I thing it has to do with its versatility and toughness, without mentioning the elegance. I can feel you my friend. All the best.

On bracelet,the proportions are better than the current models.

I’m with you on that. I think the same.

I used to have the black dial “mid-size” version of this watch. If I’d have purchased the full-size version, in either black or blue, I’m fairly confident I’d still have it. Keep yours.

I will for sure. All the best.
