£1,300 Seamaster Auto

[Progressive]

A slightly different approach to the 'what watch' threads.

My budget is £1,300.

I am looking for a pre-owned (although very good condition) Omega Seamaster (non-chrono). Automatic movement and ideally blue-faced.


What are my odds? I've signed up to the Blowers and Hacketts notification service and am browsing numerous classifieds on forums.

Am I being too ambitious?

Perfect example linked there.
Easily doable.

Can any TZ members message the guy on my behalf please?

If you would be willing, please PM me and I'll give you my e-mail address.

Much appreciated!

Am amazed at how much the new prices on SMP have increased. I bought my black full size automatic from Beaverbrooks high street jewellers 5 years ago and it cost £1250. Couldn't afford a new one now. Glad the OP has found one, you won't regret it, stunning watch in blue or black. (I've had both)

The seller has a very good rep so there shouldn't be any issues with the watch, if you need a hand getting in contact with him let me know. Seamasters of various forms come up reasonably often on TZ so if this one does go you may not have to wait too long for another.

Bump!

A couple of weeks on and still having no luck. Same requirements and budget but can't find anything!

The example given earlier in this thread was perfect but we couldn't work out terms (on my part).

Any suggestions on how the hell to get my hands on something!?

A guy I do some work with has one and had recently bought a couple of new watches. Ill ask if he wants to sell it. He will be with me tomorrow.

editted to add sorry, just saw this is quartz. Really surprised as I bought my automatic one from here for the same money about 18 months ago.

Not a lover of the skeleton hand versions myself. Have a look at the 2255 stainless steel with blue face with proper sword hands or the the Titanium version 2232. I have a black on black 2254 and love it to bits. They have lume so bright you could almost read by it.

2255


2232

Chronomaster is awesome as well.

Bought my Seamaster Chrono from there, great service.

I was 'the other guy' on TZUK! Shame. I take it the sale has gone through then?

[Muska]

Payment is imminent. If anything changes I'll let you know though.

Thanks for the offer but I'm looking for some a little newer. Nice looking watch though!
