PeterWorcester 0 Posted January 26, 2011 Just received a new Omega rep the Seamaster 300 with the Asian ETA 2824-2 movement and the blue face. Me Very Happy Watchaholic !!!! I own a genuine version of the original Quartz Seamaster "James Bond" model and the Automatic one with the stop watch as well, so I'm excited to have this one and wear it for awhile. I have to say, except for the slight change in style that Omega has made it's a pretty darn good rep of the real thing, the weight and feel is as close to identical as I can tell. It feels really solid has a really well done diver's clasp extension and is a winner. I know I'm not supposed to but I'm dying to water test this watch. The DSSD I bought is awesome I've dove with it, swim with it and shower with it daily and it keeps absolute perfect time, which is a pet peeve of mine. I know I'm not supposed to do it but I feel the need to test this out to see if I can wear it daily. Any way here are the shots that everyone always asks for, I took them before I even took the plastic wrapping off it. Head on close up: Full shot: Turned over: Diver's extension on clasp I'll post one wearing it when I have worn it for a day or two. Cheers to all, Peter Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KBH 7 Posted January 26, 2011 I've always liked that one. Someday......... Bet it'll be water resistant with no problems. At least for swimming. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rychastings 0 Posted January 26, 2011 (edited) Did you get this one from Mary? I got the same model and I love it with the exception of the inaccurate pearl and the rough clasp. Wait are those QC pics, the clasp says PLANET OCEAN under Professional. I am pretty sure that is inaccurate as that is not a planet ocean model...

Cheers to all, Peter Arent those two different bracelets in both pictures? one for the SMP bracelet and one for the PO bracelet? that seems odd but might just be me...

chum_2000_uk 0 Posted January 26, 2011 (edited) They must be QC pics. The pic with the clasp showing is not the same watch... if you look at the pic with the clasp on its side it does not say planet ocean on that. And the fact that its not an SMP band on the one that says PO anyway, so Mary must have sent a pic of a PO by mistake. Hmm... seen quite a few mistakes with Mary's pics lately. Still, my Tag Carrera was almost spot on, so I can't complain too much. Edited January 26, 2011 by chum_2000_uk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

speedzmaster 0 Posted January 27, 2011 Yup. Typical Mary QC shots on black leather background. Do you think we're noobs or something? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MikeMcNair 0 Posted January 27, 2011 so whats the deal here? cause i got some QC pix from mary that were the EXACT pix in her FS ad (for the Pam 253)... what gives? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rychastings 0 Posted January 27, 2011 so whats the deal here? cause i got some QC pix from mary that were the EXACT pix in her FS ad (for the Pam 253)... what gives? Mary doesnt take the actual QC pics until you pay. I got stock pics before I payed, but after I payed she gave me the real QC pics when she picked the watch up from the factory.

PeterWorcester 0 Posted January 27, 2011 My apologies, I created two albums on PhotoBucket and hurriedly took pics cause I wanted to rip the plastic off and get it on my wrist. One album of the Pics Mary sent me and one album of my own. I hurriedly posted this and was dead tired from all the traveling I do and wasn't paying attention on which album I posted... As soon as I get back home to my own Mac and actually have the free time to do so. I will edit the post and put the album of my pictures up instead. My humble apologies did not mean to mislead anyone. I still absolutely love the watch and it is waterproof, at least for showering...

seclark007 11 Posted January 27, 2011 Peter, Take all the heat as a blessing in disguise....at least you know that the members here have a keen eye for detail and that usually translates into a big safety net for the greater good....oh, and drag pics from the right bin next time, or you'll risk having steak sauce thrown at you!

Del 4,463 Posted January 27, 2011 Very nice Peter - I've always fancied one of these watches myself. Enjoy it . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

S Thanks S and Del, appreciate the advice, I became a VIP here because of the fanaticism of us watchaholics so I don't mind the heat at all. Don't want the steak sauce though.. :-) Del, it is a beauty, I have a very old gen of the same model although the gen is Quartz but on the wrist it's almost impossible to tell them part except for some subtle changes Omega made. Something about this style I really like, I don't really fancy the newer "planet Ocean" version much. I must be too old fashioned Cherrs all, Peter Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
