    'Cheap' is certainly subjective, horologically speaking. These are all out of my price range, but a vicarous pleasure when I catch your reviews. Thank you so very much for sharing this with us all. I'll just have to stick with my Glycine and Citizen models for now. Take care, brother.

      Nice but now with the in house chronometer movement you are gonna pay close to $1000 for a service and that price will only keep increasing over the years . That’s a lot of money in the lifetime of the watch , without counting of course the purchase price . For myself , I’m better off getting a Luminox and a Seiko diver , and putting the extra money into a pension fund or into dividend shares that accumulate over time . These Swiss premium, “ luxury” watches have gotten way too expensive for what you get .

    I'm a omega seamaster 300M owner, although, mine is from 2009, and I'm still in love with the watch, being a older guy, I have to ask why do so many UA-camrs feel that they have to spin the bezel so much, of course if you're going to use it as a fidget spinner, then the tiny parts in the bezel are going to wear down, creating backlash and loose play, my 09 is still like it was when it was new....if you feel the need to fidget with something, buy a spinner 😅😅🤦🤦

    I got the 75th anniversary edition on rubber with the added clasp vs. the standard buckle, and I really love it. I am a big fan of Omega, with this being my 4th one. But you are right, this color and LE pushed me over the edge to get it. And within the first 24 hours, I had several comments on it. I was in Vegas, and store employees at AP and Patek and IWC all asked about it.

    Interesting that you mentioned the bezel being a little loose when new. Mine was a little overly tight when new. Mine is a 2024 so I’m curious if it’s an issue that was fixed, OR if it’s kind of a luck of the draw issue.

  • @RabbitWatchShop

    The case is too big. No taper on the bracelet. Bezel sounds and feels like a $100 watch. Not Rolex level, but a better value for sure. Not a fan of these anniversary edition colorways, either. I'm exhausted with fume dials. I really wanted to get a Seamaster over my now acquired BB54, but it's just too big. Tried one on at the AD. Hopefully Tudor and other brands inspire Omega to release a midsize seamaster. Hell, even a 40mm option would be great. The PO exists at 39, but too thick.

A loose Bezel on the surface can be perfect at depth. And vice versa. Anyway, I love this watch. Great video

    I really respected my Father-in-law. Very understated. When he wasn't in scrubs in the operating room he wore simple Brooks Brothers. Drove a pickup truck. in the 60s when Omega and Rolex were both around $300, he bought an Omega. It was always quality over prestige. After fifty years, when he thought the Omega got too expensive to maintain, he bought a Timex.
    After he died recently I mentioned this to my wife. What did she do, bought me an Omega. Not only that, she found a mint 007 40th. I don't even dive, nor do 99.9% of those with a seamaster.

    The Planet Ocean is still my favorite over the Diver 300, enen though it is a beautiful watch. However, I have never been a fan of the Helium Escape external screw. Can't Omega elimate this? Does Rolex have the patent on this design? That valve is the only part that is stopping me from buying this watch. I don't like it.

    went down the mall and tried the seamaster on
    then tried on the breitling superocean 46 mm
    A17378E71C1A1
    and much preferred to the omega , i think
    the omega rubber strap is kinda shiny and feels
    a bit cheap and no deployment clasp at that price ?
    the rubber strap on my oris aquis is better than omega ..
    in the end bought the breitling , not in the mall though ,
    in the uk the omega seameaster is £5600 on metal
    strap and the super ocean is £4300 ,
    managed to find an as new 4 month old 46 mm
    super ocean for £2800 thats on the metal strap
    and guess what , when i got it is a brand new with all
    paperwork and the first owner had extended the warranty
    from 2 years to 4 , and guess what else was in the box ?
    the breitling blue rubber strap with deployment clasp ....
    i like not having the date on the watch as never use them
    anyway ...
    should hold its money at that price and in time maybe increase ...

  • @desireless4092
    @desireless4092 Рік тому +1

    I mean I get it. Pound for pound the Omega is good deal on paper... But it is not a Submariner, it does not have the brutalist design that is preserved from the days of the Cold War, it is too shiny, it has AR coating on top of the crystal (abysmal and annoying) and the bracelet and clasp are.. ok-ish. Hence why I own the no date Sub and not the SMP. Yes, Rolex are autists and their AD's can suck it, but I got the only model I love, so I could care less.

    It's by far less comfortable than a Submariner. Watch is fine, but it's about time they redesign the bracelet, it needs taper and some chamfers at least on the underside. Plus a smaller clasp. Luckily Rolex already provides this since 2009.

    Very good comparison review thank you Randy. I am fortunate enough to have a white dial 300m but every time Omega bring out another colourway or variant I would generally like to own it. I also agree that the strap changing offers the opportunity to reinvent or freshen up the look. Omega have NATO options as well, I would however just highlight the cost of the mesh which is off the scale at £750. I have a GMT which rarely gets worn as the value has increased considerably and stupidly since I bought it so I'm kinda frightend to wear it, not an issue with the Omega.
    I think either will serve you well depending on which camp you fall into but I don't see the Rolex being worth double the Omega in my humble opinion.

    Omega has the James Bond providence which is big with yhe boomer generation. But how many Speedmasters can they make and recreate? Theyre putting them on swatches now. Do you see Rolex ever pulling that stunt? You dont have to be a forum junky either to start putting together the pieces about their reliability and service costs, they all will tell you just pay AD price because you will need the warranty.

    To Me These Omega's Are Ugly ! The Price Range Makes A Difference To Compare These To A James Cameron Makes No Sense
    A 6 Thousand - A 20 Thousand Dollar Watch This Is Funny. The Rolex Will Increase In Value And The Omega Will Not !

    There is no comparison to a Deep Sea James Cameron. Rolex is -2/+2 seconds per day vs Omega -4 / +6 seconds per day. The crown screw down on the Omega is not as refined as well as the the bezel click. Rolex smokes an Omega 300M

      You have it the wrong way around. Omega is 0 /+5 sec a day (METAS) and Rolex is -4 /+6 sec a day (COSC). Rolex then claims -2/+2 sec a day ( Superlative). The problem with superlative is 1. It's not independently verified 2. It's not transparent on what happens during the test. And 3. What they do tell us is it's tested on a watch winder.
      The watch winder is an issue because a watches accuracy over 24 hrs is to give the variance over 24 hrs of mainspring depletion because the mainspring cannot deliver torque with any consistency. So COSC and METAS tests are done to ensure the automatic rotor does not replenish mainspring power. Superlative test is done to ensure the rotor DOES replenish mainspring power.
