Toro's Special: Omega Seamaster 300M 2006 Casino Royale

[razorblade]

Toro is having a special price on the Omega 2226.80.00. It's going for only $109 + shipping.

Lovely watch but the "spiral gun barrel" dial is a little too busy for me. Not my cup of tea but I thought I'll alert the members here anyhow.

Here's a link to Toro's: http://www.torobravos.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=791
And a link to the gen: http://www.omegawatches.com/gents/seamaster/300-m-diver-chronometer/22268000

Thanks for this information ! Agree - really busy dial but still a great offer
Any options for a different dial ?

 

[iggypop]

I want but the dial is sooo busy I know I would never like it on my wrist

thanks for the heads up. +1 on the dizzy dial...I'm holding out for the return of the 300M pro chrono diver.

im in the same boat, the watch is stunning but the dial almost gives me an epileptic seizure every time i look at it. Thanks for the info!

I'm guessing it's on special for a reason?

I actually think it's ghastly. But that's just me!

Maybe a good way to start a franken? Change the dial and anything else?

Yeah might be a good stepping stone for a true Bond Seamaster. Quite a selection of gen dials to pick from: http://www.ofrei.com/page1105.html

Will the dials drop into the cases and movements? terrible dial as it is. terrible.

I found a dial with a low starting price on the bay: http://www.ebay.com.sg/itm/Omega-Se...Wristwatches&hash=item232a8d4aaa#ht_500wt_923

Not sure if its gen though..

It should be a direct fit, I think the dial feet position is the same on the Cal 1120 (ETA 2892) and the clone 2824. Maybe an expert can chime in? Worse case scenario is that you'll need to clip off the dial feet and attach it using the dial stickers.

Stop it! Stop it!
I need not any further temptations. Cease!

Sooo, if dial feet do not line up/fit, one can use adhesive tape?

I knew the 1120 calibre is 2892, but would not know the translation to asian cloned movements.

Also, note that the seller has stated that it 'no longer glows'

 

[torobravo]

It is on sale because probably it was not as good sell as the other Omega´s, and it won´t be re-manufactured again after all sold out. So this is an opportunity at a very good price.

Thank you Toro, I guess we aren't saying its not as good, but perhaps just not as popular because of the dial...

The movement, if serviced well is worth close to the asking price!

not gen...she's got 'happy feet'.

Well that dial is supposed to have 'happy feet'. It looks ok to me but i dont think it will any lume effect at all...

As for the watch, as usual HE position and crown guards are off but for that kind of money thats a great deal. you throw a gen set of dial and hands and maybe a gen bezel and you have a great franken for a few $...

 

[mclarendude]

Must get this.

Agreed, it's a steal for just over a hundred bucks. Are you gonna grab one and start a project?

As Mr. Pap pointed out: Printed Omega logos have happy feet, and the embossed (metal) Omega logos don't.

I have grabbed a closed factory one few months ago and i am suing that as a base, but i have many parts laying around so i am doing my maths atm to see if i can handle one more :hehehe:

 

[trevsdad]

...please explain. I thought only reps have 'feet'?
