Vintage Seamaster 300

[klocklind1]

Here is how my new wachco ( all genuine!) look like:

Not mine watch but exactly the same

What do these cost now?

[watch.aholic]

Something in the vicinity of $2000....Please correct me if I am wrong......

[klocklind1]

Exactly THAT one ( the top picture!) was 2995$

BUT I managed to get one directly from Wachco ( no date!) for about 2000$ including both 1171 (speedmaster bracelet!) and the meshbracelet:)

Now some says that the NO date model is impossible to find new ( at least the dial is very difficult to find!)!

But this seller has one like this right now:

Anyway it really is a very nice "new" watch but with one of the best movements ever made:)

Since someone brought up ebay, I'd just like to point out that there's a seller on there right now with a vintage Seamaster 300, offering it as 100% gen, but the dial is clearly rep (has stubbies and closed 6 and 9), the hands look to be also; I can't get a good enough look at the case, but it has to be considered suspect in this context. I won't post the link, but the seller is in Turkey.

Just a heads up.

physch I am not knowledgeable enough to catch stuff like that so one day, yes one day I will go and buy a gen new otherwise keep with the reps.

If You buy from wachco ( has bee an Omega official parts dealer in australia!) then You KNOW it is 100% genuine and there service is very good

BTW also EU buyer can buy with no tax/customs fees, just ask them to declare the package at a low ( 25$ in my case!) value and that i it is a GIFT and there will be NO fees at all. BUT it the package get lost You might loose a lot of money!

I probably should have bought a watchco..after I total the money I put into my franken.

I will bet I have that much into mine....and mines all gen but the midcase. I got into the 300 too late, just as prices for the parts were climbing.

Those case sets used to be around 500$. when I started mine they went to 850$ and now they are 1000$. Timing can be everything

Still, I love my watch..the vintage Omega sm300 is still one of the classiest and iconic watches of all time.

My Watchco SM300 is one of my favorite watches....right next to my Speedy Pro and Rolex 1675 GMT. The watch as great wrist presence, a gently domed crystal and insane lume! Just looking at the bezel makes me smile! If you can find one, BUY IT!!!

I was lucky enough too get two cases when the prices were cheaper. No I have genuine date and nondate versions.
