I had one of those in 18k and SS. It was an absolutely accurate watch. Only problem that I had with it was the gold medallion located on the clasp was only glued on. Kind of cheap for a watch like this. I had to epoxy it back on twice. I lost that watch as part of a divorce settlement in 2003. I think that my son in law got it from my ex, but he would not dare wear it in my presence.
They are a vastly under rated watch and the early ones are approaching thirty years old. I'm guessing the tidy ones will start creeping in value in the coming years.
I have the same 40mm watch with the 1111 and the steel bracelet. Its a rare gem, not blingy, very vintage, very tool watch but decorated in gold. I love it! The 300 in ssyg would lose all that vintage cool though it would have it's own appeal.
Omega stated an accuracy of plus or minus of ten seconds a year but someone knowledgeable of this movement can get it lower. I have checked mine over three months and it ha lost a second
@@neilchapman5145 thanks for your reply Neil, I have just bought the Omega Seamaster pre bond the silver one with sword hands which I believe has 1438. Do you know what is the accuracy of the movement without the thermocompensation ? I think is from 1991, not sure it has been serviced recently, the seller did not know. What would be the range of a quartz watch of around 30 years old? Thanks
@@caporretto it’s basically the same eta module they used to present day. Reasonably accurate, but more importantly cheaper to replace if it goes wrong
Neil Chapman wont let me for some reason. I replied above your comment with link to ebay ad. I know nothing about omegas so not sure if it is a good deal or not. He looking for 650. 1993 model two tone gold. Black face
@@neilchapman5145 Are you sure it's solid gold and not 18K gold plated ?? Also i'm a little bit frustrated by your video, you didn't do any wrist shots...
A movement that came accurate to within 10 seconds a year from the shop? A movement that could be calibrated by a good watchmaker down to 2 seconds a year? You jest sire

Great review. I've got the exact same model and you've told me more about it than I knew. My piece was Matt's. Good work.

I have owned four and regret selling all of them.
I can sell you mine. It's mint.
I have the stainless steel model... fabulous watch. I love it!
Do you still have it? how much is the value of this now?
Great Review :), what is the accuracy of this watch?

@@neilchapman5145 Amazing, thank you very much for you reply :)
First battery replacement at about twenty months found it to be two seconds off. No mechanical watch can match that.
Don't be too harsh fellas my hands are shaking like a shitting dog
What value are these ?
MMX2 the steel, quartz midsize start about £350 and the rarer ones between £800 and £1200
Neil Chapman hi. Sending you a private message. Thanks

Depends on the condition as well
You need a better mic 🎤...
Is it true that the bezel is solid gold?
Yes it’s 18k solid gold but the bezel is quite thin
@@neilchapman5145 Are you sure it's solid gold and not 18K gold plated ??
Also i'm a little bit frustrated by your video, you didn't do any wrist shots...
@@antho295 the bezel is solid gold, the crown is plated and links have a gold inlay.
Sorry about the absence of a wrist shot
quartz movement...........Not a real Swiss Watch
A movement that came accurate to within 10 seconds a year from the shop? A movement that could be calibrated by a good watchmaker down to 2 seconds a year?
You jest sire
It's a serviceable swiss quartz movement that's possible to regulate. It's actually a far superior movement to most automatic movements from the 1990s
