Titanium Sword-hands Omega Seamaster.

[FreeLitres]

Hi all,

Has anyone got the Titanium version of this badboy?


I love my Stainless 300m but the Titanium one always caught my attention.

How rare are they? How much ££££ are we talking now?

[Jonnas]

Not quite the same but titanium non the less. I have one of these......

I was given as a gift by my employer in 2005 and have no idea what it is worth....

You could ask them what they sold it for.

I have the GMT version myself (steel)... They're so much nicer than the current seamasters in my opinion. The hands especially.

I've recently seen an 12 year old one up for sale here in SG for $3500 [1750 GBP].

went to have a look ..condition was very good - though the lume had started to yellow slightly.

Personally I dont think the blue face / metal bezel looks as good as the traditional black and black.

For $3500 I'd prefer a speedmaster moonwatch..

It was about £1200 a couple of years ago, as it was my mate who bought, after i'd spotted it for him

Yup, I've got one

There's a titanium sword hands Seamaster for sale at Tustains jewellers in Leamington Spa. It's one of their 2nd hand watches and is £1250. It has a polished bezel which I'd want to change back to blue as the face is blue. Looks nice, but I was just picking up my X-33 following a visit to Omega for a new battery, so I didn't take too much notice!

Neither is correct for a 2231.50.

Both the black and blue face versions had a titanium bezel when new.

Yep spot on so you wouldn't want to be changing it!

Fair enough. IMO the polished silver bezel doesn't suit the rest of the watch. A titanium bezel with a brushed finish would be better. Perhaps the bezel is actually the original, but has been over polished when cleaned?

I doubt you'd get much of a polish on the titanium tbh, and not over time given how relatively new these watches are.
More likely is the bezel is a replacement with a cheaper (maybe used) standard polished version from a steel watch as an original titanium one might be (almost certainley will be) very expensive from Omega .... or possibly even no longer available from Omega...???

I might be biased owning an early Bond PO with a polished bezel

Thinking about it though, if it does have a polished bezel then it can't be right. The titaniums don't have any polishing anywhere. Is it the insert that's polished?

Very nice!

Is that black face standard or a mod?

[Apache]

My favourite watch, they need to make these again as they have a bit of a cult following

Standard.

The titanium SMP could be had with either the black face or the blue face.

Bumpoing this old thread as I might be putting my 2231.50 up for sale, but they don't seem to come up for sale that often (certainley can't currently find one for slae in the UK) so I'm struggling to find out what sort of price they go for now?

Do they really have a cult following....?

Hi,

well, they seem to have earned that title from some of the posts I've seen online.....I now have a steel version of the Ops picture and love it, ultimate is a Great White for me though
