JimmyT Posted October 5, 2008 Report Share Posted October 5, 2008 Found this today, some of you may have already seenit but as an owner of exactly the same gen Seamaster I found this very compelling reading. A good read for Rollie Sub fans too. It's just one guy's opinion but an interesting read nonetheless Link below........your thoughts....... http://www.rolexreferencepage.com/smpvssub.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noel Fleischer Posted October 5, 2008 Report Share Posted October 5, 2008 Not me- despite the fact that i'm considering an orange PO. i never liked the old blue seamaster. the rollie is alot more $$. everybody assumes that a black sub is a fake however.

JimmyT Posted October 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2008 (edited) jimmy ts omega looks gorgeous Why thank you Mr M.Fish, I love the 2254 SMP. You know the minute you try something on and it just feels "good"....that's what happened with me and the Mmega. I always loved the Seamaster over everything else but when I saw it in black I was smitten. At $2000 AUS this time last year when I bought it it was and still is one the more affordable and durable Gens that still has that elegant but kinda tough look to it. The good ol Seiko still gets a hammering and looks better "on" the flesh than it does in this picture. I bought it on Ebay. It came from Singapore and I only paid around $130 for it - they're still there now listed inder "Seiko Submariner" Here's a couple of links to show you. Black/Black Bezel & Black Dial/Blue & Red Bezel. They are the one of the best secrets around and have that kind of "Rollie" look about them. Run's about 22 seconds a week fast - pretty good. http://jewelry.shop.ebay.com/items/Wristwa...Q_udhiZQQ_udloZ http://cgi.ebay.com/Trusted-SEIKO-330Ft-Sc...id=p3286.c0.m14 http://cgi.ebay.com/Trusted-SEIKO-330Ft-Sc...id=p3286.c0.m14 Fully verified with box and papers ( I took it to Seiko's HQ here in Melbourne and they told me it's the real deal) Comes in a Seiko Box with warranty I manual. Glad to meet another "Omega Man"! Cheers & beers from Oz Jim Seiko pic: Edited October 6, 2008 by JimmyT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TeeJay Posted October 6, 2008 Report Share Posted October 6, 2008 John's review was what first opened my eyes to Omega, and ultimately, reps. A very nice and well informed guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
