How do you justify buying a new/used Omega Seamaster? Well, if you're me, you go on a 5 minute historical/emotional ramble. Then give away a couple of watches. I'm still not convinced..... But I love the watch! Thanks to Zane and Michael for doing such a good job of it. Cheers. Jody

A sea master is never a bad choice!!!
My guess - ‘ESSENTIAL TWO GENT | BLUE CROC’
Ah, I guessed that one aswell. Congrats on being the one selected!
No way...Jody, I like you even more now! 🤣
Congratulations....⌚🏴⌚🏴
Congratulation
The Pre Bond is what I am known for and I love them all. I have one now with the 1441 quartz movement. Its my daily. I also just purchased the new Seamaster 300m blue wave ceramic. Love it. And YES, you can replace that clasp. There are ways to add the adjustable clasps to pretty much all of the older Omega divers. A bit of a pain, but doable.
I have the Seamaster 300M Quartz, it was my first expensive watch and still use it today. After daily use for over 16 years it still looks fantastic and one of my fav watches ever.
Good for you, Jody, it's a beautiful watch and you thoroughly deserve it. I hope it stays in the collection and you enjoy many years wearing it.
"I beat it hard and it loved it" - Jody
Best way to have fun in Australia these days, I hear... 😁
@@jmmartin7766 basically the same world wide,i imagine
I have the quartz version that I bought new in 1995. Still going strong. Lovely patina developing 👍
Noooooo! Don't sacrifice the ORIS Jody. There's always room for just one more ORIS. 😋 Essential One Gent | Brown Croc
Just picked up a 2531.80 myself last month after being a long time fan from afar. Couldn’t be enjoying it more. Great score Jody. It’s a keeper for sure. Enjoy it!
You never go wrong with an Omega. Beautiful watch. Congratulations 👍
Lovely watch, think you will pick the Essential Two Gent Silver Mesh as it seems you may have a penchant for blue. Love the channel and hello from sunny Mid Wales
Easy choice, by far the best looking one! ESSENTIAL ONE GENT | BLACK SMOOTH
Best omega design watch ever...
No chance.. 2254 was far better
When you “sell off a few pieces”, is that like 10, 20 watches? ;)
I too have the Bond watch that I inherited from my late father. It is a great watch that keeps pretty good time. I do find the rotating bezel not that grippy, that's my only niggle. I find the watch to be rather thin for a 300m resistance compared to my other less expensive divers.
Best bang for the buck Omega you can buy. Iconic, classic design and a bond watch to boot.
If only they could explode or shoot lasers
Omega are a legend and long time associated to 007. The best combo its with nato strap for me my best omega are the speedmaster Moonwatch but the seamaster are awsome thanks
I too just bought an automatic Pierce Brosnan “bond watch” circa 1999! I was fortunate to have gotten all original authentication card, booklets , leather box and cardboard box at a remarkable value. Mine too has not been Omega serviced and the twenty year fade is evident. The watch is in fantastic condition and I think I’m “ALMOST” as wound up about mine as you are about yours!! I love this watch and will be wearing it through the end of the year, then sent it off for its first full Omega service. This is my first luxury brand watch and I couldn’t be happier. Much luck to you with yours.
Yes the micro adjust clasp does fit. You need 2 clasp links to make it fit the bracelet. I managed to find a mint used one ( with links ) on WUS for US$100. A fantastic addition. My grail watch. Beautiful.
I think you’ve got the essential one gent | black smooth
Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪
I've got the exact same one. Bought new 14 years ago. It's my daily wear and still my favourite out of all my collection.
Right. I think it will be the: Essential Four Gent | Black Mesh
I have both the Quartz version and the automatic, they are great Watches.
Considering getting a quartz version. Any reservations with that decision over an automatic movement on a luxury watch? Or should I do the automatic movement.
@@felixzabala4427 I would go for the automatic as circuits for the Quartz are getting difficult to get should you be unlucky enough to need one, but I must also say the Quartz are very reliable but you never know when a problem may occur.
@@JonTheComputerDoctor Omega no longer makes replacements?
@@felixzabala4427 Complete movement is classed as a restricted part by Omega, according to the material house I use.
The circuits can no longer be purchased separatley.
@@JonTheComputerDoctor You can get them from ETA, it is just a decorated ETA quartz movement...no difference. I have to look up the cal. number.
It's a Bond watch, no more justification needed! good buy....ESSENTIAL TWO GENT | SILVER MESH
Very nice Jody! I bought mine in April and the urge to buy all sorts of watches has diminished greatly, it's just such a nice watch to wear all the time and it can do just about anything.
Super video and congrats on your acquisition Jodie. But, just unbelievable! Only last week I walked into a similarly irresistible deal with the GMT 'Bond', and I am completely smitten. Such an alluring design. Enjoy!
Best wishes from Renfrewshire!
HELLOOOOO! Beautiful watch Jordy, wear it in good health.
Congrats!
Love the new watch!
ESSENTIAL ONE GENT | BLACK SMOOTH that's my guess.
I bought a "Bondie" a few months ago! It has been my gateway into watches in general, and luxury watches in particular.
My first “luxury” was the titanium, chronograph version of this watch I purchased around 2001 or 2002 to work every day for 15 years love the watch. I believe the model is the 2298.80.00
Hats in the ring.
ESSENTIAL MIRROR GENT | SILVER MESH
This one is a beauty
Essential three gent Black Croc! I’m sure ;)
I've got the Seamaster 300 as well, it's one of my favorite pieces. I got a great deal on it from a place valled Watch Vault NYC. It's got a tiny nick on the bezel which can barely be seen on the wrist and my seconds hand still has the original red tip. Congratulations Jody! It's a keeper mate!
A stunning watch with that Bond connection. The Omega was my very first genuine luxury watch back in 2000 and then as part of a growing collection I enjoyed it for over 10 years before selling it due to buying a house. I regret it to this day, as mint conditioned 2531.80s are going for £2500- £3000 in late 2021. A recently bought Tudor Black Bay 58 navy blue has satisfied my lingering nostalgia for the Omega and for a cracking quality blue dial diver, with its superb, modern in house COSC movement, 70 hrs reserve and staggering lume, not to mention the sheer wearability.
Congrats on the Seamaster, Jody!
ESSENTIAL ONE GENT | SILVER MESH is my guess 😁
Hey Jodi, just wanted to let you know the purchase is totally justified. This is a grail watch of mine and I garenty you with certain I will own one in my lifetime!
Thanks Logan!
Just One More Watch hello, I have this exact Omega SeaMaster 300m as you’ve displayed. Purchased in 2003, i have the original box and all original paperwork in immaculate condition. Ill get to my question now - I’d like to sell it as the money will be much more useful at the moment to me. I’m located in Australia, can you tell my what it may be worth and if you can recommend a reputable buyer or site to sell via? Thanks for you time. Happy to provide photos - its immaculate though. Thank you for your time and look forward to hearing from you - hopefully. Andy
Great watch. I had the opportunity recently to see one in person through a friends collection and they are fantastic.
My guess would have to be the Essential Four Gent | Black Smooth
I've had mine since the late 90's, for a long time it was my only watch. Wore it everywhere for everything. Mine looks like your spare parts (faded bezel) but my crystal is perfect. One of my favs, I'll never sell it! Enjoy yours! I bought mine because the Submariner was 2x the $$ at the time. Glad you got the auto, the quartz just don't hold up the same, imo.
ESSENTIAL FOUR GENT | BLACK SMOOTH🤞🏿
I died when you said, "I beat it hard". Lol
Congrats on the pickup. Very nice watch. Definately a keeper! I have owned 3 brand new 300 models in the passed 6 months and all have had QC defects. Gorgeous watches but I ended up getting my money back after a long battle with swatch.
Have the same watch but earlier. Also impulse buy. Saw it in Jewelry store window last week in a ski town in Vermont. Store owner was first to suggest a discounted price. The watch was perfect. Looked on chrono24 and Hodinkee. One was $100 less, and other $100 more. Both with no box or papers like this one. Did buyers 30 years ago keep track of such things, especially when boxes were very plain back in the 90’s. Couldn’t argue with jeweler. Love it.
Fantastic. Congrats! I have a newer Aqua Terra, but I couldn't make myself sell my 2254.50 that it was designed to replace. Nice to know you kept your others, as well.
Beautiful watch . I have the gold and steel pre bond as well . Its was my dads still works well if a little tired that's never going anywhere anyway . But I have always liked the 300 too i really like the new ones but it's just a bit too pricey for me . Make a pot and put a bit away each month i suppose . Great vids love the content . Thanks for sharing this beautiful watch .
Omega pre-owned is always a great purchase, Jody. Congrats on the new watch.As for the MQT, ESSENTIAL TWO GENT | SILVER MESH is my pick, the blue sunburst dial is a beauty.
Impulse buys are the best :D Gorgeous piece Jody, love the original wave dial Bond Seamaster! Condition is amazing, Zane did a great job!
Beautiful watch. I’d love to hear your thoughts on how the 2018 version sizes up against it. The helium valve is definitely unnecessary but I am a professional desk diver so ALL of that watch is unnecessary for me 😄 but I still love it
Hey Jodie, I think you have the ESSENTIAL ONE GENT | BROWN SMOOTH in that box, at least I hope you do!
It was great to see your new to you Seamaster 300, I have the Chrono version of that watch and has been my daily for twenty odd years! Seeing how well yours came up is inspiring me to get get mine done as it has quite quickly a few battle scars and is running a little fast these days! I hope it as good as yours.
Congratulations on the acquisition of the Seamaster. That dial is such an eye-catcher, my favorite of the luxury divers for sure. Gonna guess Essential Four Gent | Black Smooth.
My wife bought me one for my 30th birthday. I'm 52 now. Love it.
Great video as always Jody! You got me into watches/horology, and I've bought a number of Chinese specials thanks to you too. Hoping it's an ESSENTIAL TWO GENT | SILVER MESH you've got in that box!
I had a 200m pre-bond to tone gold. I loved that watch but sold it to make room for a Seamaster 300 black dial 2254.50. Still happy with that choice. Love the Bond. Those Pierce brosnan movies that first got me when I got into watches.
Congratulations Jodie, I hope you get a lot of pleasure out of your ownership of this watch. It is a great watch and I have twice tried to purchase it but I just can’t get on with those skeleton hands. About 10:years ago I opted for the electric blue dialled Omega Seamaster 300 with the sword hands. Another great watch that has gone up 50% in value. This is irrelevant to me as this watch is definitely a keeper and still gets lots of wrist time. I have just had it serviced at Omega and it came back looking like new.
I have the Casino Royale model. Don’t like the helium valve. One has to tighten it frequently or it will steam up in the shower. Mine has the floating piece, which sometimes stops the movement. One day, I will send it in for service, but the $400 cost is a bit much.
Congratulations Jody, it is an elegant sports watch. This is one of my grail watches too, together with the Oris Aquis. Its everything a man desires in a watch!
I snagged one of these in about 2007 when they were still going for decent prices on Ebay. It's a great watch. I must've saved for a year and agonized over whether I should go beyond the $400 watch threshold. I wouldn't pay thousands for one today, but I like that I can claim "I have a Swiss watch!" (even though sometimes I forget that I even have it because it's stashed away). I should get it out to wear now that I'm watching this.
What a beauty! Something tells me you will be wearing that for more than a few months (or years). Thanks for the review!
I also have the pre Bond 1992. I was given it by a friend who had replaced it with the 300m Seamaster you have now. It just sat in his drawer for years and he said he would rather give it to me instead of it doing nothing.... years later I always wear it when I go to visit him (Spain) and he always comments on it saying 'maybe he had made the wrong decision and how he loved it'. I also love it, very accurate, lovely patina now and a sentimental piece for me.
Nice pick up! I get the impression that these Seamaster were very popular on release, because I see soooo many that owners have clearly been wearing every day for years.
❤️ That blue. I'm guessing mirror gents black smooth
Great choice! Can't go wrong with a Seamaster! Those are some nice watches Inthe essential collection! I reckon it's the Essential Mirror Gent with the Black Crocodile strap! It's got such an interesting dial!
I've had that very watch since 2003. Love it and it can be worn with just about anything. Good luck with it! (Essential One Gent | Black Croc)
I love the Seamaster, Jody! Looks great on you. My guess is Essential Mirror Gent - Silver Mesh. I love mesh, too. You should put Seamaster on mesh.
Nice watch, looks like you got a really good deal so there's your justification. That Dymock's building with really ancient looking hallways is perfect for a ghost movie setting. Oh BTW Jody, can you do a video on independent watchmakers worth going to in Sydney? Thank you.
Gorgeous piece!
I reckon it’s the essential two gent | silver mesh
Lovely blue sunburst dial, hope i get it! 😜
Hi Jody! I think you will go for ESSENTIAL TWO GENT | SILVER MESH.
This one is awesome.
Your videos make me love watches more and more. 😊
My Guess would be the Essential Two Gent Blue Croc.
Love that Omega Jody, wish you many happy Hours, Minutes and Seconds with her.
Love the new Omega. Congrats. My guess is the Essential Four Gent | Black Mesh.
Many sleek models to choose i would guess youre fond of bracelets .but may have a leather strapped model. I say a brown smooth and cross me toes too. Nice reviews lively presentation much appreciated advice .
All are stunning, however the Essential Mirror Gent in Mesh is the standout, and is most likely in the box. Great review, btw.
Love the justification Jody - I support it. The omega is also my grail watch and hope to own one - someday.
Glad to see some giveaways - that should bring some more subscribers for sure.
The MQT essential one gent with silver mesh would be your normal choice but the essential four in black mesh is something a little different.
Good day Jody. Love your seamaster and i am saving for one in the future. My guess would be Essential Four Gent | Black Mesh. Love your channel as always.
Great looking watch. Love watching your channel. I too have to justify my watch collection(as modest as it is). My guess is essential four gent brown smooth.
I have the mid-size auto version of this and it is my daily watch, I love it so much. I bought it second-hand some years ago and the bezel insert has faded to a soft pale denim blue which looks nice with the grey blue guilloche dial. One question, the tip of my seconds hand is white, not red. Is it faded, or did they make some early ones with white pointers?
I recently bought the same watch about the same age. I have the original bezel on mine which is faded about the same as the dial face. The movement is great imo and the power reserve is good. Great watch...a true classic!
Congratulations on the new Omega! No need to justify that kind of purchase.
And I think you went with the Essential Two Gent Silver mesh with blue dial, since you seems to like blue :)
Perfectly justified purchase if you ask me. Got to admit I have seen one in the UK no box or papers and even considered chopping in my Planet Ocean for it (then I woke up!). Just an iconic perfect diver with style and history, very jealous Jody an excellent purchase. You won’t miss the odd Zelos or Spinnaker mate. 😍
Jody, you can put the micro adjustment on there. It’s takes some playing around but I did it on mine and it’s wonderful
Essential Two Gent | Blue Croc, it matches that gorgeous blue bezel
I guess it's the Essential Mirror Gent | Silver Mesh. The seamaster was my first proper watch. Loved it to bits! Great buy!
Seamaster is a great watch and I would like to get one. My choice would be the ESSENTIAL TWO GENT | BLUE CROC. I love the blue dial and the blue leather strap really matches the dial
I'm a dyed in the wool Seiko fan, but the more I see of Omega, the more I'm drawn to them. Nice watch Jody. 👍
I love the seamaster Jody! In the box i'm fairly confident you will find the "ESSENTIAL THREE GENT | BLACK MESH" , because you like black dials and because you need to review some milanese mesh to balance out all the different leather straps and steel bracelets you usually review :)
I've got the 37mm Quartz version. It's hard to take it off. The lume is dead, the hands have patina, and it makes me so happy. The perfect dress diver, IMO. The pre Bond is on my short list for a restoration project
I bought one of these today, absolutely cant wait !!!
You don’t need justification for buying that Seamaster, Jodi. Great purchase, though I am particularly jealous of your ‘90 Seamaster.
For my guess, I think Essential Mirror Gent Black Smooth. Just a shot in the dark, really.
I have this watch from new in 2001. Great watch. Just serviced at Omega at a cost of £590. Replaced bezel and back within the price
I myself has been eyeing Omega Seamaster 300. Too bad the current version is getting thicker and thicker. Anyway, I think it is Essential Four Gent, Black Croc
Look for a 2017 version they are still around, no waves and a 41mm case, thats what I did last year.
Nice omega looks amazing i am going for the - ESSENTIAL TWO GENT | BLUE CROC
Nice Omega. I am going for
ESSENTIAL FOUR GENT | BLACK CROC
this is a tough one Jody. I wish you went for the Essential Four Gent I Brown Smooth - looks fantastic,
Cheers mate!
Great piece.I have the mid size one (2551.80).I just love it as well.
I bought a 2541.80 last year and it’s stunning on a blue/gray NATO strap.
This is THE hero watch for me. I love the 300’s SO much. I even bought the Seiko Knock off for my 21st birthday present, that I still have today. It’s relatively similar, including the 5 link bracelet. I was actually thinking of sending it to you to review prior to this video. Maybe I might to see how it looks right beside a proper 300.
I also own a knock off 300....I hate calling it that when it's a 150 UK pounds clone version black market. But it has never been spotted as a not real omega so happy days. Enjoy your one fella
Have the same watch, most comfortable bracelet on any watch .Bought mine in 2002. Still looks great some combat patina on it but keeps excellent time.
Great catch❗️ My 2003 Bond Seamaster is my favorite but not getting rid of any of the other Omegas including a 1999 Speedmaster Moonwatch. I prefer owning five Omegas over one Rolex 😁
Gorgeous. A classic beautifully designed timepiece forever. Congratulations. Awesome. ☺.
I have always had a longing for the black dial, solid hand version of the Omega 300. I will have one at some point! I think you have the the Essential Mirror Gent on Silver Mesh.
One of the true classics. And best, most comfortable bracelet of all. Good work, sir.
Hi Jodi, nice watch. I do wish Omega would bring back the sword hands. ⌚️⏱
I've got a Seamaster 300 Chrono, with a blue face... love it, it is one of my favourite watches.
My bezel is a softer blue, hints of grey. Wonder about the color of old bezel u have in the bag.
