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!
100% my friend ! Glad you had a top notch experience!!!
My wife's comments - "5 GRAND!!!!"
Damn!! That’s a beautiful watch!! So much to love! They would make millions if they reissued this one!
and lose the integrated bracelet
Well yeah and that too lol
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!
The Railmaster is proper vintage too. Good choice.
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.
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)
Oh Chaz!! 100% that one’s a keeper!!!
Nice!..One of the COUNTLESS super cool vintage Omegas…there is a LONG list of vintage Omegas that I wish they would reissue….the Ranchero, the Admiralty and yes, this one too…the Baby Ploprof….thanks for featuring!
“A little compass” LOL😂😂
She meant to say something nice like "compassion" or something... Right?
I just die seeing your ecstatic satisfaction, rotating good bezels!
Wow, just wow!!!
This is one of the best videos you have made, and one of the best finds.
It's always said that vintage is a midfield, but you can find diamonds if you look in the right places.
Congrats and enjoy it and use it.
Looks a bit like the Momentum Sea Quartz (famously worn by Magnum PI early in the series) as well.
Exactly what I thought too.
Every time I watch one of Your videos I gotta listen to 'Trampoline' afterwards!.. catchy little hook in the intro!
yes beautiful ! they should make it again !
Looks great! Love the hands and bezel that immediately identify this watch as a member of the Ploprof family.
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.... 👍
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!
I didn't know about it too! Super cool piece ❤
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
Congrats 🎉 I’ve always liked the baby Ploprof.
OMEGA always great
Gorgeous dial. Looked really good on your wrist! Go on, av it!
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.
Absolutely gorgeous watch I love it.
Incredibly cool! Never knew about this before..
I have having a bit of a laugh teasing about the Proplof yesterday. Little did I know I was closer to the mark than I could have guessed.
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.
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.
Wow that is a beauty. Great review as always Russ
Would look even better if the bezel insert was updated. Thanks for sharing it and have a great afternoon! 🙏🏼
What a great piece man!!! Damn, I love it. Congratulations on finding your Omega, what a super cool watch. If only I could afford one too lol 😆
this really does look great. Interesting to see such in old watch in a style that is so imitated today.
That’s a beautiful watch! I love it.
What a find! I didn't know this existed 😳 love it..
absolutely beautiful watch, as mentioned CWC Diver-ish. I can’t see why it wouldn’t be a very good seller. keep up the great work!
Very nice watch Russell. I'd be very happy with the new dial, hands and crystal. And to be honest, I'd get the bracelet polished up too.
Have you tried on a 38mm aqua terra? I own a black one and absolutely love it. I actually sold my 124270 explorer because I wore the AT a lot more.
Russ mate I’m trying to stop buying more watches and then you show me this stunner which I LOVE 😂
I have an Omega De Ville 162.0060 that has either the same or similar movement - caliber 1010 or 1012, and I enjoy the 28,800 bph sweep. I would love an integrated bracelet Seamaster dive watch version of it!
Great video, that is a lovely watch!!
Beautiful! - that dial is close to a CWC 🧡j It's just that I prefer new watches. Cheers!
What a beauty 😍 Nice one mate.
Since you mentioned every Swiss company were making their own royal oakish thing, AP and the royal oak were copying the GOAT in integrated bracelet watches, the Zenith Defy. ☝️🔥
Oooooooo yes!
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.
Nice find we need a reissue.
Excellent piece.
Great find!
😮 Mind-blowing🤯 The integrated desk-diver of my dreams, do Omega-licious🤩... Wonder when the Chinese homage would be lunch?😂
I was wondering why Omega hasn't join the integrated-bracelet bandwagon? Does Swatch Group hasn't tested the waters enough (pun intended) with Tissot?
Thank you for the video.
Great point Jorge! I reckon they would’ve done by now!
That's really a very cool watch!!
that 120 is fantastic, love it...... Click it...... CLICK IT !!!!!
I'd be all over a 40-42mm version of this. Gorgeous.
Absolutely LOVE this ❤❤❤
Yes Nick !!!
I’ve never heard of this Omega but I agree it’s awesome! Im not that into the looks of alot of Omegas current catalogue but my favourite Omega is the 2254.50 Seamaster. This is an equally tasty diver though. Very nice!
Fantastic show as ever MWC 👏👏👏👏
Cheers Gareth!
Russell what a find!!! This model& the slightly earlier SHOM range by omega/ rattled Rolex to the core. Provocative advertising by Omega led to defamation case brought by Rolex in Zugg. Rolex won, but it was pretty much a line ball result! Ask a few older collectors/ jewellers.Hats off to B.Q watches for offering this much sought after gem of a watch
Now that is a beautiful omega
That’s a great time piece 👍
Beautiful watch with amazing complementing bracelet! If you can buy it for a good price; get it! 😅
That's an absolute beauty!
I’ve only ever seen this watch on the mesh strap … seriously prefer that bracelet!!
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!
Love your vivideo keep up with the good work
hmm, good idea! now i’m debating on having a vintage oysterdate hands swapped (and kept on side) for some new hands with lume so I can actually read it at night…
That’s utterly beautiful
Not sure I agree with The Trouble and Strife, that's a classic STUNNER!
What do you think about the DW9052V-1 Casio
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.
Yep first thought that popped int my head
A comment I made disappeared 🙃 Love it, want one, similar to Magnum's watch, great stuff. Hope they reissue. 👍
Definitely Stu!!!!
My head is spinning, I am sort of waiting to see what Tudor release this year, a Tudor Sub? If Omega were to release this in 38 to 40 mm I'd need to get it😨And between now and then I need to resist lots of other little gems I am tempted by, your bloody Madhacker is still on the table. My tiny brain can't cope 🤣@@THEMADWATCHCOLLECTOR
@@stu632A Tudor using the name Submariner will never happen. For obvious reasons. The only 2 lines they know how to do is the Black bay and Pelagos line. Would it be kool?? Definitely but Rolex isn't going to let Tudor make something that's soo close to a Submariner
You're right. If they redid this almost exactly, with an adjustable clasp, it would be unstoppable. I'd rather have this than the
very beautiful watch
a good pick … envy a lot 😅
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?
I'd be straight out with the metal polish and a rag on that bracelet. I love the way the links catch the light.
I see where Chronosport got their dial and bezel inspiration from for their Seaquartz in the late ‘70’s.
My god what a fantastic watch!!
Just got a 1861 speedy as my main watch...yesssss
Looks so Vintage It should be on Mona Lisa Wrist Hanging in the Louve..!
hahahahaha hope you're well Ray!
Well spotted professor!!
hand set and indices remind me of the Momentum SeaQuartz 30
Looks like my gorgeous momentum sea Quartz 30...gréât video.
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…
Reminds me of the Doxa 600t sharkhunter in shape, colour and purpose
Good knows what omega are doing at the moment
Their old watches are so cool.
That’s a beauty!
love luv luveeeeeeeee this !
Love that watch indeed
2:20 Fun fact, first men integrated bracelet watch coming out to the market is by Omega (Constellation 168.045 / 368.845) on 1969, 3 years prior to AP RO. Sadly succumb to the success of its siblings C-shape Constellation (also by Genta) circa 1965-1970s. The more you know.
Are you aware of the Timefactors baby dreadnought??
Hard to find but very similar. 👍👍
Wow good find
Shuuupeerrr....really like that bezel action. I am with you that the latest models just don't do it for me. If I had to pick one Omega, I really like the Omega 6B 542 RAF Pilots watch, proper vintage and beautiful in it's simplicity...reminds me of something else I saw on your channel recently, the mad hacker maybe....you are going to cost me again.......🙂
Great watch🎉
I love it! This may be the first time I don't agree with your wife (other rhan marrying you - she must be a saint). 😂
5 grand. Rolex Explorer. But i do like omega. Why everyone can own one...👑
Holy jeezus that's a looker.
Hi Russ
Take a look at the OMEGA Seamaster 300- 165.0 1967
Nicest Seamaster out there, a legend to vintage collectors.A refurbed one is a absolute bargain.
Real Find!
MWC your wife’s comments are spot on! 🤣
Err.. hold on !!
It’s got a…. Date window !!! Arrrrrghh !
I do love a date window - it’s a must have in all my watches. And on my .. omega conny!
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.
holy cow, its amazing.
Keep it. It isn't the big triangle but it is a good enough reason to sell your CWCs
very nice watch, I have the more affordable version Citizen Promaster Dive Eco-Drive Watch.. lol Hey it's close enough for me.. lol
