What will be your first/next/last Omega?
Team,
Post here what will be your first/next/last Omega.
Two days back I put an order for the Seamaster 300 Master.
First time that I do this (put an order) but I could not resist this watch.
(Picture from Omega site).
No date (Amanico's disease), ultra modern movement (Co Axial, non-magnetic 15000 Gauss tested, etc.) using a case/dial/hands that brings us to the glorious 60's.
I had a vintage one but the bezel was not original and I prefer modern incarnations of vintage watches (maintenance, etc.).
The Boutique says that it will be here in November.
Hard to wait.
Meanwhile I need to search a strap for it (metal bracelets are a no no for me). Suggestions?
Post your next dream here.
Cheers,
Nilo

A vintage Mk2 Speedy with exotic dial...
I'm really hot for this one ! (photo KirillYuzh) ...
That was the first watch that I tried to get on an auction ...
And I lost by a quid. Years later I learned that I was competing with a friend that won the watch! They show up here from time to time, but is hard to get a mint one. Good luck with your chase. Cheers, Nilo
Tropic seems to be an option and ...
It so happens that I have one on my strap inventory. Vintage, of course. But the Seamaster 300 Master lug width is 20mm and my Tropic is 19mm. About NATO, I'm not a particular fan of those but I also have some. Let's wait and see. Cheers, Nilo
19mm is not a big deal, even if it is 20 mm between the lugs.
As for the Nato, it dépends on the Watch. This one is made for Natos! Best, Nicolas
I know that 1mm is nothing but ...
With my OCD, this 0.50mm gap is unacceptable. Cheers, Nilo
If it had to be my last Omega, then it would be this one.
I need a Speedmaster, early reference, to complete my Holy Duo: Credit picture, Roberto. ...
Very hard to get one ...
In good shape. That's the reason that I got the Speedmaster FOIS (First Omega In Space). Perfect re edition, including case and lug width. Got a Shell Cordovan strap that is perfect to it. Need to post some pics, along with a "Strap Addiction" post that I...
I would love to read a review of this watch !
I was lucky enough to buy my 2998 many years ago, before the Omegamania auction ...
I will do...
Go to borrow the original vintage from a dear friend that has one and compare. Thanks, Nilo
CK2998-1
I have been months after a nice CK2998-1 hope finally can be mine ( of course will post pics if happens )
Yes
Yes Amanico , but you know how we are......never happy and always looking for the next A disease no doubt :) Rgds
Was lucky to find this one a few years back.....
I only have a few vintage timepieces currently, but this is one I think I'll always have. Next up for me may be my first modern Omega - the very SM 300 that was the subject of the original post. I think Omega nailed it with this one - just perfect. Darren...
That's not luck but ...
Some sort of a miracle. Never had a chance to get one like yours. Congratulations. Cheers, Nilo
How about black/grey sharkskin?
If you find the right color, it adds a touch of novelty and sportiness to the watch you don't get with other leather textures (like salmon!) Mike This might be my last Omega unless I get inspired - and the one you have chosen is VERY VERY NICE ...
Sharkskin is an option ...
I never had one sharkskin strap. About Omega, just as a cookie advert here, is impossible to not have another. Cheers, Nilo
+1 . . .
. . . and truly, what could be more fitting for a Seamaster than the master of the sea? ...
What was the poor shark ...
That produced this skin? Jaws? Now serious. Very cool and matches the SM perfectly. Cheers, Nilo
I had a dream...
I even strapped it on my wrist I missed it and now it's gone..... as song goes Yours D ...
Funny....
.....i have a speedy from about 7 years ago.....and 2 months ago I added my second Omega...2914-3. I am now looking for a 2913 lollipop generation but am not having a lot of luck....and am seriously contemplating the same model you have ordered. It was my...
there you go....had an almost green lume.
I have made many mistakes!!!....in my selling...i should close the shop!
Umm . . .
. . . could you ask an easier question next time? :-) Seriously, there are countless candidates for my collection. A few no-brainers: the 2014 DeVille Trésor . . . . . . the 2012 Olympics SM . . . . . . and its 2012 Speedmaster counterpart, the ref 2998 r...
. . . and . . .
. . . you have a friend in the UK who can hunt one down for you ;-) . . .
I saw the DeVille Tresor last week at the Omega ...
Boutique in NYC and is fantastic. Based on your taste, you should add the DeVille Hour Vision. Glorious one. Cheers, Nilo
Actually, the modern one that would . . .
. . . best fit my collection is the current mid-size AT annual calendar . . . . . . in yellow gold. Yeah, I could do this. :-) ...
First generation Flightmaster would be a stretch target....
....But, more realistically I would like a Seamaster 120, to join my SM300 and Ploprof cheers Tony
Believe me ...
That is much more easy here to acquire a nice first generation Flightmaster (910?) than the SM 120. Cheers, Nilo
I have the same Seamaster on order. But in the end I may decide...
...to change my mind one last time and get the Dark Side instead. I love both watches but have been having a hard time removing that black ceramic watch from my thoughts. Besides, there is no ceramic watch in my collection whereas the Seamaster 300 will b...
Hard decision ...
I saw the DSOM, amazing impressive. But The SM 300 Master ... Hard, very hard to decide. Each one has particularities that I love. Good luck. Cheers, Nilo
Speedmaster Dark Side of the Moon
but with the new non-magnetic Master movement. Not produced currently, nevertheless I hope it will be released soon. ...
I had one in my hands ...
Not with the "master" movement, of course. My observations after a very short examination. Great construction, outstanding case/dial and a movement that is one of the top chronograph movements ever. My only gripe is that under certain light conditions it ...
