A few pictures of a nice Vintage Divers: The Omega CK 2913 SM 300.

Life is curious, but the phenomenon is well known by a majority of us: It is when you loose something that you really feel how much you miss it. This is certainly the case of the Seamaster 300. I had a very nice CK 14 755, which I sadly lost. With a bit o...

Hi Nicolas, I wish I had such a wonderful piece in my collection - you seem to be a lucky guy this time. I wish you good luck! best erich
Bad luck can't hit all the year long, Erich.

When I fell on this one, I had the feeling it could replace my ( not too bad ) 14755. I will soon know if I can get it. But it sings loud to me. Best, and thanks for your nice words, Erich. Nicolas.
Marvelous watch

Nicolas, I was under the impression that you are in vacations! This CK 2913 is a good reason to return. Cheers and good luck on this one.
I hope that you break a leg.

That is an excellent piece , hope you can get & enjoy it ,rgds
Can't replace all my stolen pieces....
By: amanico : August 23rd, 2011-23:26
But if I can for a few of them, yes, it would be great. I specially love this one, as I am a fan of Vintage Diving watches, and find that it is one of the most beautiful from this golden era, the Fifties. Fingers crossed. Best, Nicolas.
Certainly worthy of your collection...

...and a very acceptable example. Bezel does look replaced, but it's not out of character condition-wise for the watch as a whole. Hope all the stars align for you.
I thought so too…

There is someone, I don't remember the specifics (but I do have his email address stashed somewhere…), who is able to repair these bezels, originally made of bakelite, and now often found in very bad shape. From what I have seen, he does a very good job. ...
Hard to tell about the bezel
By: MSNWatch : August 26th, 2011-04:25
I personally think it doesn't matter because the watch overall looks great. If it was redone by the Italian craftsman referred to here, it is as good a restoration as you are going to get. If I were to cast "some doubt" I would have pointed out that it wa...
It is also a kind of terrific Pandora's box, MSNWatch...
By: amanico : August 23rd, 2011-23:32
Once I will get this one ( IF I get it ), I know myself, I will hunt a CK 2914... Then, I will be tempted with the 2915... But I feel there are worse things in life. Best, And Thanks! Nicolas;
Fingers crossed

You probably already know how I feel about that one, Nicolas. And the bezel is already done. Fingers crossed! Alex This message has been edited by AAP on 2011-08-24 08:34:35
What a beauty, Nicolas!
By: blomman Mr Blue : August 24th, 2011-12:43
I really hope you get it, my friend! The day I start with Omega I hope to find me one of these… So beautiful – looking a lot like another watch we know very well…! Best Blomman
It's perfect!
By: francois : August 24th, 2011-14:06
Good luck Nicolas!
A lovely example.

By: G99 : August 25th, 2011-01:48
i'm glad your able to replace some of the pieces you lost, this time with what could be perceived as a more desirable model, the one you would have bought originally if the opportunity had arisen. fingers crossed for you my friend Graham
