    Got my Tudor BB58 from BQ Watches, it was only 3 months old and got a significant discount on RRP. Glad to see someone like yourself endorses them, gives some piece of mind!

    That's a nice one! Also a reference I didn't know existed. I'm like you and haven't clicked with Omega. The only modern Omega I'd consider owning (other than the obvious, Moonwatch) is the Seamaster Railmaster Blue Dial. It's not blingy, no annoying polished bits (enough with the polished center link Omega! It's a terrible look!). It's simple, classic and cool. Though when it comes down to decision time, I'd still prefer a Tudor Black Bay Heritage in blue more. Great review Russell!

    Wow that is spooky - for some reason I had a notion to wear my completely original 1978 166.0250 Baby Ploprof today and then suddenly your video pops up. The 166.0250 is basically the non integrated bracelet version of the same watch and was originally supplied on either the same shark mesh bracelet as the full fat Ploprof (which mine has) or a perforated leather strap. The integrated bracelet watch is reference 166.0251.

  • @TheChaz5504
    @TheChaz5504 Před 3 měsíci +5

    Wasn't expecting this! Very cool. It's pretty funny how the Omega you finally fall in love with is an old integrated bracelet rebuilt one lol. It is great- I wish they would make it again. Get your hands on a neo-vintage 2254 seamaster- If I could only keep one that would be it!!! (although the slick bezel would probably infuriate you- but you can see the lineage that inspired the cwc rn diver)

  • @favoritethings3065

    This is one of the best videos you have made, and one of the best finds.

    Congrats and enjoy it and use it.

    @GinkgoJoe Před 3 měsíci +2

    Nice!! Looks a lot like the Momentum SeaQuartz 30 (which I think I'll stick with given the price!) Also has some Ecozilla vibes, though clearly a little (ok, a lot) thinner.... 👍

  • @adk7962
    @adk7962 Před 3 měsíci +1

    That’s a beauty of a little watch. Even with a two year warranty, I’m just a little wary of vintage watches. I don’t know if it’s like a classic car where you’re going to spend a lot more time and money maintaining it. Thanks for showing it to us!

    My favourite range of the seamaster's, proper watches, great designs. My neighbour's got one that was passed down from his dad, awesome piece. Did a double take on the dial n hands, glad you explained its been refurbished, great job though, love the looks of it. Your so so lucky to be younger than this watch unlike me 😢, only by a bit mind😂. Thanks for another great show

    I am a big fan of the ploprof , I actually tried one on at a watch forum meet we did in the London omega store years ago and looked fantastic on my 7 1/2 " wrist , I would love to own one if they wasn't that expensive , and thats why I also love the baby ploprof I think its the dial and bezel and those hands are great.

    I loved that part where you said, "I didn't know that either" It's like you heard me when I said out loud to myself, "I had no idea" 😅
    I don't really like integrated watch bracelets either but this does look good on the wrist.

  • @brianmccord7387
    @brianmccord7387 Před 3 měsíci

    If you look at old pictures of Phil Collins in the early 70s, he had one of these. People sometimes misidentify it as a Submariner but it’s definitely an integrated bracelet Seamaster.

    @edwardrecord5305 Před 3 měsíci

    Honestly I love old watches, they're some of my favourite watches. Nothing beats owning or looking at a watch that's truly fantastic and finding out it's considerably older than you. I had this with a Seiko, finding out it was double my age, let's just say I stopped complaining about the plus 6-9 seconds a day after finding that out.

    Fantastic show as ever MWC 👏👏👏👏

    If you haven’t tried a ploprof on, I’d definitely recommend it before dismissing the size - it’s big on paper but there’s barely any lugs, so whilst it’s meaty on its waistline it wears smaller than you’d think!

    It reminds me of the Momentum Sea Quartz 30. Now we all know you love the Sea Quartz, so it's not surprising you like this as well. I know they're completely different watches, but as for me, I'll take the wonderful Magnum PI back story, daily wear usefulness of quartz, and save all the money in the process. Love your show, cheers.

    Love the watch! I'm with you MWC. This watch looks way better than the current 300. Omega should release some of their gems from the 60s and 70s. Hell, they could pull a Rolex and offer these under another name. Omicron watches maybe? Well, maybe not after our recent experience. Lol. Poseidon watches?

    Outstanding! As far as replacing the Parts… if it had the original Crystal dial and hands, and they were in good condition, the watch would be unobtainable… And one would be a full to wear it as it would be a museum piece. I’ve had several classic cars and although they were 80% original the other 20% made them drivable and affordable…

    It’s OK. An unusual one for sure. I think this is contributing to the price. You should try a SMP from the early years, they are quite different to the modern one which you dislike so much. I have a 2531.80 from 2006 which is slimmer and has a smaller case, good ones can be had for around £2500, and I think it could sway your opinion on the 300 SMP.
