How do you justify buying a new/used Omega Seamaster? Well, if you're me, you go on a 5 minute historical/emotional ramble. Then give away a couple of watches. I'm still not convinced..... But I love the watch! Thanks to Zane and Michael for doing such a good job of it. Cheers. Jody
A sea master is never a bad choice!!!
My guess - ‘ESSENTIAL TWO GENT | BLUE CROC’
Ah, I guessed that one aswell. Congrats on being the one selected!
No way...Jody, I like you even more now! 🤣
Congratulations....⌚🏴⌚🏴
Congratulation
The Pre Bond is what I am known for and I love them all. I have one now with the 1441 quartz movement. Its my daily. I also just purchased the new Seamaster 300m blue wave ceramic. Love it. And YES, you can replace that clasp. There are ways to add the adjustable clasps to pretty much all of the older Omega divers. A bit of a pain, but doable.
I have the Seamaster 300M Quartz, it was my first expensive watch and still use it today. After daily use for over 16 years it still looks fantastic and one of my fav watches ever.
Good for you, Jody, it's a beautiful watch and you thoroughly deserve it. I hope it stays in the collection and you enjoy many years wearing it.
"I beat it hard and it loved it" - Jody
Best way to have fun in Australia these days, I hear... 😁
@@jmmartin7766 basically the same world wide,i imagine
Noooooo! Don't sacrifice the ORIS Jody. There's always room for just one more ORIS. 😋 Essential One Gent | Brown Croc
I have the quartz version that I bought new in 1995. Still going strong. Lovely patina developing 👍
Easy choice, by far the best looking one! ESSENTIAL ONE GENT | BLACK SMOOTH
Best omega design watch ever...
No chance.. 2254 was far better
Best bang for the buck Omega you can buy. Iconic, classic design and a bond watch to boot.
If only they could explode or shoot lasers
When you “sell off a few pieces”, is that like 10, 20 watches? ;)
Just picked up a 2531.80 myself last month after being a long time fan from afar. Couldn’t be enjoying it more. Great score Jody. It’s a keeper for sure. Enjoy it!
You never go wrong with an Omega. Beautiful watch. Congratulations 👍
Omega are a legend and long time associated to 007. The best combo its with nato strap for me my best omega are the speedmaster Moonwatch but the seamaster are awsome thanks
I have both the Quartz version and the automatic, they are great Watches.
Considering getting a quartz version. Any reservations with that decision over an automatic movement on a luxury watch? Or should I do the automatic movement.
@@felixzabala4427 I would go for the automatic as circuits for the Quartz are getting difficult to get should you be unlucky enough to need one, but I must also say the Quartz are very reliable but you never know when a problem may occur.
@@JonTheComputerDoctor Omega no longer makes replacements?
@@felixzabala4427 Complete movement is classed as a restricted part by Omega, according to the material house I use.
The circuits can no longer be purchased separatley.
@@JonTheComputerDoctor You can get them from ETA, it is just a decorated ETA quartz movement...no difference. I have to look up the cal. number.
I too just bought an automatic Pierce Brosnan “bond watch” circa 1999! I was fortunate to have gotten all original authentication card, booklets , leather box and cardboard box at a remarkable value. Mine too has not been Omega serviced and the twenty year fade is evident. The watch is in fantastic condition and I think I’m “ALMOST” as wound up about mine as you are about yours!! I love this watch and will be wearing it through the end of the year, then sent it off for its first full Omega service. This is my first luxury brand watch and I couldn’t be happier. Much luck to you with yours.
My wife bought me one for my 30th birthday. I'm 52 now. Love it.
It's a Bond watch, no more justification needed! good buy....ESSENTIAL TWO GENT | SILVER MESH
Lovely watch, think you will pick the Essential Two Gent Silver Mesh as it seems you may have a penchant for blue. Love the channel and hello from sunny Mid Wales
A stunning watch with that Bond connection. The Omega was my very first genuine luxury watch back in 2000 and then as part of a growing collection I enjoyed it for over 10 years before selling it due to buying a house. I regret it to this day, as mint conditioned 2531.80s are going for £2500- £3000 in late 2021. A recently bought Tudor Black Bay 58 navy blue has satisfied my lingering nostalgia for the Omega and for a cracking quality blue dial diver, with its superb, modern in house COSC movement, 70 hrs reserve and staggering lume, not to mention the sheer wearability.
I too have the Bond watch that I inherited from my late father. It is a great watch that keeps pretty good time. I do find the rotating bezel not that grippy, that's my only niggle. I find the watch to be rather thin for a 300m resistance compared to my other less expensive divers.
Hey Jodi, just wanted to let you know the purchase is totally justified. This is a grail watch of mine and I garenty you with certain I will own one in my lifetime!
Thanks Logan!
Just One More Watch hello, I have this exact Omega SeaMaster 300m as you’ve displayed. Purchased in 2003, i have the original box and all original paperwork in immaculate condition. Ill get to my question now - I’d like to sell it as the money will be much more useful at the moment to me. I’m located in Australia, can you tell my what it may be worth and if you can recommend a reputable buyer or site to sell via? Thanks for you time. Happy to provide photos - its immaculate though. Thank you for your time and look forward to hearing from you - hopefully. Andy
Hats in the ring.
ESSENTIAL MIRROR GENT | SILVER MESH
This one is a beauty
I also have the pre Bond 1992. I was given it by a friend who had replaced it with the 300m Seamaster you have now. It just sat in his drawer for years and he said he would rather give it to me instead of it doing nothing.... years later I always wear it when I go to visit him (Spain) and he always comments on it saying 'maybe he had made the wrong decision and how he loved it'. I also love it, very accurate, lovely patina now and a sentimental piece for me.
Have the same watch but earlier. Also impulse buy. Saw it in Jewelry store window last week in a ski town in Vermont. Store owner was first to suggest a discounted price. The watch was perfect. Looked on chrono24 and Hodinkee. One was $100 less, and other $100 more. Both with no box or papers like this one. Did buyers 30 years ago keep track of such things, especially when boxes were very plain back in the 90’s. Couldn’t argue with jeweler. Love it.
HELLOOOOO! Beautiful watch Jordy, wear it in good health.
Congrats!
I think you’ve got the essential one gent | black smooth
Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪
I've got the 37mm Quartz version. It's hard to take it off. The lume is dead, the hands have patina, and it makes me so happy. The perfect dress diver, IMO. The pre Bond is on my short list for a restoration project
I have that seasmaster from year 1999. I had to get it serviced 3 times since then; each time getting serviced was due to it breaking (age, not trauma). Each time the restoration is made by Omega, the watch looks and acts like brand new.
-a great design for looks, as it doesn’t stand out like a Rolex as a ‘look at me, I have an expensive watch’, which I like.
I like the design much more than the new models.
Omega tried to get me to change my bracelet the Spring of 2020, stating, ‘the pins were not meant to last this long, and you need a new bracelet, which are screws’. I said, ‘no thank you’. It looks fine, and the cost was bout 400-500$.
As for the lumination... to get them replaced requires the dial replaced, which costs about 400-500$. I said ‘do not replace it’, for cost reasons... It was never very bright when I first bought it anyways... the lumination back then was radioactive lumination (very minimal, not dangerous levels). Now they use different technology.
I do not like how easy the bracelet scratches; just touching a desk scratches it; not just light scratches, but deep scratches. And I also do not like how the watch breaks after about 5 years. But Omega has a standard price for repairs; however, if yo want it polished, they do not polish the bezel, so will require a replacement bezel if polished. New bezels, ‘about 400-500$....
Love the new watch!
ESSENTIAL ONE GENT | BLACK SMOOTH that's my guess.
Essential three gent Black Croc! I’m sure ;)
I have the Casino Royale model. Don’t like the helium valve. One has to tighten it frequently or it will steam up in the shower. Mine has the floating piece, which sometimes stops the movement. One day, I will send it in for service, but the $400 cost is a bit much.
Yes the micro adjust clasp does fit. You need 2 clasp links to make it fit the bracelet. I managed to find a mint used one ( with links ) on WUS for US$100. A fantastic addition. My grail watch. Beautiful.
Congrats on the Seamaster, Jody!
ESSENTIAL ONE GENT | SILVER MESH is my guess 😁
ESSENTIAL FOUR GENT | BLACK SMOOTH🤞🏿
I have this watch from new in 2001. Great watch. Just serviced at Omega at a cost of £590. Replaced bezel and back within the price
The Mirror Gent on Black Croc is perhaps the most elegant and I hope it is the one in the box. The helium valve on the Seamaster may make it look more natural for right wrist wear. Your subscribers love giveaways. I anticipate great success for watch teachers who give back.
I died when you said, "I beat it hard". Lol
Hey Jodie, I think you have the ESSENTIAL ONE GENT | BROWN SMOOTH in that box, at least I hope you do!
It was great to see your new to you Seamaster 300, I have the Chrono version of that watch and has been my daily for twenty odd years! Seeing how well yours came up is inspiring me to get get mine done as it has quite quickly a few battle scars and is running a little fast these days! I hope it as good as yours.
I wish the newer ones had that small Helium Valve 😅😅 but I love the new models so much aside from that!
Omega pre-owned is always a great purchase, Jody. Congrats on the new watch.As for the MQT, ESSENTIAL TWO GENT | SILVER MESH is my pick, the blue sunburst dial is a beauty.
My first “luxury” was the titanium, chronograph version of this watch I purchased around 2001 or 2002 to work every day for 15 years love the watch. I believe the model is the 2298.80.00
I've had mine since the late 90's, for a long time it was my only watch. Wore it everywhere for everything. Mine looks like your spare parts (faded bezel) but my crystal is perfect. One of my favs, I'll never sell it! Enjoy yours! I bought mine because the Submariner was 2x the $$ at the time. Glad you got the auto, the quartz just don't hold up the same, imo.
Right. I think it will be the: Essential Four Gent | Black Mesh
I recently bought the same watch about the same age. I have the original bezel on mine which is faded about the same as the dial face. The movement is great imo and the power reserve is good. Great watch...a true classic!
My guess is the essential mirror gent croc black. Not a bad looking dress watch.
Jody, you can put the micro adjustment on there. It’s takes some playing around but I did it on mine and it’s wonderful
Bit of a shot in the dark as it wouldn't usually be what you'd go for but I think it's going to be:
essential two gent | blue croc
Have the same watch, most comfortable bracelet on any watch .Bought mine in 2002. Still looks great some combat patina on it but keeps excellent time.
I bought a 2541.80 last year and it’s stunning on a blue/gray NATO strap.
Good choice going with Omega. May you enjoy the comfort and style for many years
I've got the exact same one. Bought new 14 years ago. It's my daily wear and still my favourite out of all my collection.
Kids and I loved the story. Why we are enjoying our start into watch collecting. Essential mirror gent silver mesh
What a beauty! Something tells me you will be wearing that for more than a few months (or years). Thanks for the review!
Super video and congrats on your acquisition Jodie. But, just unbelievable! Only last week I walked into a similarly irresistible deal with the GMT 'Bond', and I am completely smitten. Such an alluring design. Enjoy!
Best wishes from Renfrewshire!
Nice pick up! I get the impression that these Seamaster were very popular on release, because I see soooo many that owners have clearly been wearing every day for years.
I snagged one of these in about 2007 when they were still going for decent prices on Ebay. It's a great watch. I must've saved for a year and agonized over whether I should go beyond the $400 watch threshold. I wouldn't pay thousands for one today, but I like that I can claim "I have a Swiss watch!" (even though sometimes I forget that I even have it because it's stashed away). I should get it out to wear now that I'm watching this.
My guess is the Essential Two on mesh bracelet. Mainly because I really like that blue dial.
Got a 2008 SMP for my 40th in 2010 and it was my first proper automatic watch after a few years of riding on the replica railroad/fake freeway. It's the bedrock of my collection. Took me another four years to tell 'er indoors that actually one of those fakes was real. I now always tell her what I'm buying and one day I may even tell her the real prices!
Enjoy the next decade with it, as much as I've enjoyed mine.
Excellent choice! Bond Omega is my dream watch. Congrats! My guess is ESSENTIAL TWO GENT | SILVER MESH.
I have a feeling that it's the black croc essential. This could be because Roger Moore's James Bond uses a Rolex to escape from crocodiles in Live and Let Die.
I think this one: ESSENTIAL MIRROR GENT | SILVER MESH - classic, crossed swords on silver sunburst dial and classy mesh bracelet.
In the box is a Two Gent, silver mesh watch.
I think the model is FOUR GENT BLACK CROC
I do love the Bond SMP. Kinda regret turning down the quartz version a couple years back.... Essential Two Gent Silver Mesh
I went with the next iteration with applied markers, and a red line. I’ve been a little dismayed how hard it is to turn the bezel at times.
I had a 200m pre-bond to tone gold. I loved that watch but sold it to make room for a Seamaster 300 black dial 2254.50. Still happy with that choice. Love the Bond. Those Pierce brosnan movies that first got me when I got into watches.
Many sleek models to choose i would guess youre fond of bracelets .but may have a leather strapped model. I say a brown smooth and cross me toes too. Nice reviews lively presentation much appreciated advice .
Gorgeous watch! I also have the 2531.80 and it’s my everyday! I absolutely love it!
Blue dial on blue croc! It ties in nicely with the bond Omega.
Fantastic. Congrats! I have a newer Aqua Terra, but I couldn't make myself sell my 2254.50 that it was designed to replace. Nice to know you kept your others, as well.
Beautiful piece Jody. Wear it in good health.
Great looking watch. Love watching your channel. I too have to justify my watch collection(as modest as it is). My guess is essential four gent brown smooth.
Great piece.I have the mid size one (2551.80).I just love it as well.
Well you got to be in it to win it. I'm thinking...Mirror Gent Black Croc. That sunburst looks great. And you know there's no need to justify to us...Mrs JOMW on the other hand...
Essential One Gent | Brown Croc, nice texture on the band, clean white dial to dress up and down, cant go wrong
Magnificent watch Jody, and SUPERB restoration too .. I am now on the hunt for the 2531.80 ....
I JUST bought one Jody, can you remind me who did the polish to your watch? Was it Zane (do you have his details), or was it The Horologist in Sydney?
My Guess would be the Essential Two Gent Blue Croc.
Love that Omega Jody, wish you many happy Hours, Minutes and Seconds with her.
Great video as always Jody! You got me into watches/horology, and I've bought a number of Chinese specials thanks to you too. Hoping it's an ESSENTIAL TWO GENT | SILVER MESH you've got in that box!
Impulse buys are the best :D Gorgeous piece Jody, love the original wave dial Bond Seamaster! Condition is amazing, Zane did a great job!
Mine is 26 years old ( quartz ) black dial and it still works as new .
My 300M automatic was just serviced at Swatch Group in LA. 1,100 US but worth every penny.
Great watch. I had the opportunity recently to see one in person through a friends collection and they are fantastic.
My guess would have to be the Essential Four Gent | Black Smooth
My guess is the essential mirror gent silver mesh
brosnan had the quartz version
Actually, Pierce only wore the quartz version in GoldenEye, which also wasn't a chronometer. From Tomorrow Never Dies through Die Another Day it was the automatic chronometer.
I hope it's a three gent black mesh. Quite a nice looking dress watch.
Put the old insert back in! It's beautifully faded.
This version or a mid size for a 6.5 inch wrist? Beautiful watch.
I bought a "Bondie" a few months ago! It has been my gateway into watches in general, and luxury watches in particular.
I enjoyed your trip down memory lane and showing us the beautiful quartz Omega that your father gave to you. Congrats to you on your new piece!
I think in the box is the Essential One Gent | Silver Mesh
Pretty clean look...the essential four gent black mesh is...
I have the 40th 007 anniversary version of this watch in original condition with all box and papers 📃 . I purchased in February of this year.
i am proud owner of the black one. great watch enjoy it. I love the Matt/mirror polish on different sections on this watch.
I'm a dyed in the wool Seiko fan, but the more I see of Omega, the more I'm drawn to them. Nice watch Jody. 👍
Mirror Gent/Black Croc.
Hi Jodi, nice watch. I do wish Omega would bring back the sword hands. ⌚️⏱
I bought one of these today, absolutely cant wait !!!
Very nice Jody! I bought mine in April and the urge to buy all sorts of watches has diminished greatly, it's just such a nice watch to wear all the time and it can do just about anything.
I have always had a longing for the black dial, solid hand version of the Omega 300. I will have one at some point! I think you have the the Essential Mirror Gent on Silver Mesh.
I always wanted an Omega watch. I thought I'd never lust after another watch once I got my 1965 Omega 560 cal. I could never afford a new Omega watch so I'm looking at some Omega Chinese counterfeits.
@Robert Donovan Hey thanks for the advice, man. I think you just set my mind straight about not buying counterfeits. Thanks.
