Thank you for your kind words dear Art and I´m happy to view your post here today. Yes, I understand you so well. Market madness during last years had thrown these watches...
... to high niches we are not able to reach now. I was very lucky to find most of these old pieces several years ago. Now I feel we missed the train and the ones I was hunting to complete the collection will never arrive to my home.
By the other way, I agree that modern renditions are not the same of originals. But though the pass of time do not add charm I find a few modern renditions are very close, like the version of the Trilogy launched a few years ago to mark their 60th Anniversary are very close.
The SM 120 is still affordable. I own the automatic version I show here as well as the manual winding variant. It is a little charming watch indeed.
I send you my best cordial regards, and good wishes my dear friend!

Seamaster Diving Watches Roll Call!
Hello friends! Be it vintage references or modern versions Omega Seamaster diving watches are true classics. Omega launched its first diving Seamaster, the reference 2913 in 1957 as part of its famous trilogy together with the Railmaster and Speedmaster w...
Wish I had one to share, Abel! . . .
. . . as it happens, I was late to Omega's party, and missed out altogether. Won't make the same mistake I made with the Rail . . . no matter how convincing the modern renditions are, they're just not the same as the originals. Maybe I'll find a nice SM 1...

Thank you so much dear Seeks for your kind comments and for joining the call! Wow, that´s a wonderful watch! Let me tell you that of all Bond editions launched since ...
... Mr. Bond changed his Submariner for an Omega, this is the one which excites me the most. I put an order for one as soon as it was announced in our local Boutique, and I was expecting to receive it in April in time to assist to the premiere of the new ...
Thank you again for kind words dear Abel
Very much looking forward to the end of this strange period and doing simple stuff like watching Bond films! Take care and be well my friend!
Why it is so sweet
Yesterday. I was in my corridor and noticed how good the luminova is. My Omega surprised me a lot. It become my favorite watch of my collection. ...
Thank you so much for joining Weems and sharing your nice Seamaster 300 Diver. The luminova of these modern Omegas is of very high intensity and long lasting...
... and the cosmetic details introduced lately have enhanced the timeless beauty of the original design and made it more modern looking. Keep enjoying and loving it so much!! Keep safe! Abel
Thanks Abel
I am active of staying healthy by sport enough and eat fresh vegetables as possible. Sometimes i eat some candy and meat. I like garlic in my food so my breath is social distancing anyway. My story about the Omega seamaster, and why i chosen it. There are...
My pleasure Weems! To be healthy and be an sporty persona is always important and more important in these circumstances. Ha ha ha! Eating garlic often is healthy too... though...
... it may bring its consequences which is good again right now! Lol! You made a good choice with your SM300 Diver. It is a lot of watch for its high quality and price. I look forward to know which one you choose next, as your fun watch! Thank you again f...
The fun
I having fun of looking which watch i want to put in my collection. The base is ready. The direction i am now is Hublot. Ulysse Nardin makes crazy watches, so i look also to them. A colorful independent or something from Corum, who knows? Speake - Marin. ...
Fabulous idea Abel ...
You have a wonderful collection !..., This is my British military 300m.., ...
Thank you so much dear Captain!! I´m happy that you approve and join us with your fabulous British Military issued Seamaster 300. I had the privilege of...
... having seen it in the metal and well remember its beautiful condition and the charm of its issue inscriptions on its case back. Great shot my friend! Best cordial regards, Abel.
Love to join in
What a great bunch of photos. I like to see the different expressions given to the watches by the various straps and bracelets. If I ever get the bracelet off my specimen, I'll try the Bond nato-strap. Looks really cool. @ captain Scarlet - great photo. Y...
Thank you so much Jacob for joining us and for your kind comments. You share a superb speciment of vintage SM300. I wouldn´t take that bracelet off if it were mine but...
... sometimes it is interesting to explore with Natos or leather straps for a little change and for a short period of time. These straps as well as those made of canvas are very useful when a watch we find in the market lacks its original bracelet which i...
Great thread Abel...I am a huge fan of the Omega Ploprof and have both the black and white dials in the re-edition (1200m)...
I would also like to get a Ploprof 1200m in titanium as well in the near future. I just think it is so different than anything else made and of course it is way over-engineered. The quality is second to none. For me, the Ploprof is a modern day icon with ...
Thank you so much for your awesome participation Holdemchamp!!
The Ploprof is an stunning SM with a historical past and connection with the development of diving techniques and equipment. You got two superb examples of the re edition of Omega. I wish you’ll be adding the titanium variant soon! My vintage one says hel...
That´s wonderful to know and surely a delight to view!! May be you can post some shots when all this virus problem is over! Glad you like mine...
... it was purchased from the wife of original owner who had used it very very little. Almost unworn. I got the original guarantee to his name, bought at Grand Cayman. A very interesting watch indeed- Cheers! Abel
Would love to once I can travel again and head back to the US as it is currently in a bank safe in Florida...
I also purchased it from the original owner who was a professional diver, since retired, and now lives in Tampa. He told me some crazy stories which just adds to mystique of this cool watch 😉👍
Oh! I see my friend. I also look forward to be able to travel again. But I feel that regrettably it will take long till international travel will normalize. The story behind your watch ...
... is what distinguish a watch from a piece of collection. This is the kind of watches more valuable to me as they enclose an interesting and rich past life in them. I also need to travel again to Florida, and retrieve some watches there. I used to fly a...
