Classic Omega Seamaster 200M 'Pre Bond'

[Ari]

After trying to find a decent one of these for literally years, I finally came across this one in response to a "Want to buy" advert that I'd placed.

They made these from 1988 to 1994 in two sizes, 38mm and 40mm, quartz and automatic. There were two hands options, the 'sword' hands or the Rolex Submariner-like 'Mercedes' hands.

The now famous "Bond" Seamaster 300M replaced it. (Hence these are often unofficially known as the "Pre Bond" Seamaster).

This is the full sized auto, and I'm absolutely chuffed to bits with it. A very subtle and nicely made watch.







And one with the 300M model that replaced it.

I like it. I have the 300 but the pre Bond is stunning yours is much better for having the sword hands also. Patience certainly paid off. Wear in health.

I >really< like that; honestly never seen one.

Can't see on the phone pics, is it an auto?

[hilly10]

Oh yes it's auto

[JRewing]

I'd really like one of these.

Is it just for me that your pictures aren't working?

No it's not just you. I cannot see them either.

[Ari]

That's weird. Let me try changing the image tags from [pic] to [img]. see if that helps.

[Ari]

Any better?

Hmm.....it's no better for me. That's disappointing!

Coe on Nic, we need to see your pics

[Ari]

Odd. Just checked on my iphone and can see both sets.

I'll try on my iPhone!

[JRewing]

Hmm....the iPhone changes nothing whether over 3G or wifi.....

[Ari]

Just had a thought. I've linked these from TZUK and I think you have to be a member to see the forum I put them in. I wonder whether that's why.

I'll find somewhere else to host them, bear with me...

[JRewing]

Right, that's why. I'm not in the UK and for some inexplicable reason my ISP blocks TZ. I have to use it at work. A lot of ISPs around here block TZ.

[Ari]

How's this?

[JRewing]

Got it!
Congratulations, that looks bloody brilliant. Most that I see are quartz. I'll be on the lookout for a good automatic one!
