Vintage Omega Seamaster back in stock!

[Vric]

I think a good upgrade would be to put the watch in a bag with rocks and scratch it a bit

I ordered mine toward the beginning of June through Lucy.
I tried Trusty, Ken at Chazingtime, and few others and they had all said they were out of stock with no eta on replacements. Funny how everyone has them up now.

Anyway, I finally approved QC from Lucy today. I'll post up some pics when I have it in hand.

As the title says, the rep for the vintage Omega Seamaster 300 is back in stock.

All versions 25j.

Big triangle no date military and non-military.

Regular date only military and non-military.

Nice Omega logo buckle.

Probably the same exact previous rep that had issues with loose flimsy rotating plexi and poor lume. EDIT- Not sure if insert seems to have some weak lume now, where there was none at all in past. Doubtful though.

But transformable into a a nice rep by swapping to a higher bubble dome plexi and reluming, possible 3atm waterproofing without gaskets too.

Shout outs to Thrasher for this nice find and Strodda who does excellent work on this rep in the past.
Anyone know of a black datewheel or overlay for this?

I think it just uses the regular eta date wheel position but not 100 percent sure, if so a black 2836 date wheel will be fine.

So that would be way more expensive in gen world?

Thanks for answering the question from the previous post, I was just going to ask it after trying to make sense out of sales adds on Intime. Appreciated!

I think that the watch is pretty ugly, but there's something about it...

The military t dial version only came in big triangle with no date and has fixed lug bars for a nato strap so the t dial with date is a fantasy version.

Can someone provide me with the details for the aftermarket plexi?

Its just a matter of measuring the plexi and then getting a divers tension ring plexi from cousins or any other supplier in the right size, if you can find one a gs diver tite plexi would be nice, if its tge same size as the omega one you can use the gen plexi with the omega symbol stamped in the middle like this one

Just be careful, if its the same as the old version the numbers are just stickers on clear plastic so you have to carefully scrape it away and then apply lume, its not too bad to do, the custom inserts just take ages to arrive at the moment, the last ones took about 8 or 10 weeks because the post from some places is so slow at the moment, you'd need the watch first tho to check the size needed

An older version Strodda worked on for me.

My genuine by WatchCo

I'm ordering one... waiting for qc pics.
Could you confirme the strap size? 20mm?
What is the tip to remove carefully the bezel insert?

When I will have the watch I should manufacture a plexi insert as for my seiko homage (but flat for sure)

Strap is 20mm,
As for removing the bezel inserts its kind of a one time deal if its flush with the top of the insert as there is no way to lever it out without breaking it but looking at the version on offer I think it looks as if there is no inner edge part to the bezel itself so if that's the case just pop the plexi and lever out from the inner edge

Any black date version??

 

[Toofsy]

Just a little bit disappointed by the miss of volume on the crown side (crownguard)
