Nice. I haven't seen that color scheme on the ol' Seamaster 300 Professional Chronometer.

Thanks - it does pop. Not quite like a TT Sub though.

The watch is fresh back from servicing when this photo was taken and it had been worn pretty much every single day non-stop for about 11 years at the point this photo was taken (again, after service in Switzerland - I sent it home, not to the USA service center).

I had this but recently sold it to Tourneau for $1,700

Does Tourneau pay fair money for watches?

No. No one does. Considered a trade in of my DSSD at a dealer I've bought two watches from and they offered, $6k on my DSSD which still had all stickers intact, in like new condition.
All dealers will try to rob you unless you know someone, personal sales are better.

Really like that one. Nice. Thanks for posting.

My tribute to the original James Bond watch.

I absolutely love Planet Oceans but I think I'd get a leather strap; I just can't get on with metal ones (My Seiko diver has one).

Either a PO or a Tudor North Flag one day.

Awesome. I wish I would have thought to get pictures like this everywhere I have worn mine. What a great idea! Thanks for sharing.

Went to Omega as well as an AD and tried on all different Omegas.

I have a 6.75" wrist, so a tad on the smaller side in general.

The PO was too large for me, even in 42mm size. It's lug-to-lug length was too long and it's simply a mountain of metal in terms of height.

The new seamaster 300m is ruined by it's lume to me. It's made to look vintage, I get, but the lume itself is unattractive in person. It actually photographs better.

The speedmaster pro is the best fitting Omega for me - it's curved lugs hug the wrist best, and it's sizing is perfect. However, I want a large second hand, so this is on hold for now.

Overall I walked away dis-satisfied. There wasn't an Omega that fit me and filled the bill at the same time. My favorite to look at in pictures is a blue PO 42mm on a blue rubber strap - but it just doesn't sit right on the wrist for me.

I to have a narrow wrist. Just curious your opinion on the newish 36mm IWC Pilot watch ? And what do you think of the Omega Globemaster? Not the style your describing but curious what you though.

Bought my first last July and then ended up buying the second last month, only problem being not had the opportunity to wear either of them yet with being away from home!

Between the two of those def go with the PO. I wanted a North Flag for a while and then when I went into the store to look at it it ended up being very underwhelming and kind of bland. It looks much better in pictures then it does in person

I did this trip across Asia and Europe last Fall and thouht it would be cool to do something as a tribute. So I did the landmarks. All those pictures were pretty much just Italy, Iceland, and Amsterdam.

I recently purchased my first Omega. It's a Seamaster Aqua Terra 150M powered by the OMEGA Master Co-Axial calibre 8500.

Omega's are definitely a watch I can get behind!
