We can just say that is a "professional" watch : function creates form .

Nice Watch : compliment ;-)

Omega Seamaster 300 Ref 165 024: How would you qualify it?

 
 By: amanico : October 15th, 2010-11:36
Here are some new pictures I took of this great watch, a ... 1964 model ( Calm down, Graham, it is mine and not for sale! ) , which, in my opinion, respects the " 4 S Rule ". I would say: 1/ Sophisticated, with its " Lyre " lugs: 2/ Strong, with its impec...  

Nicolas, no worries, as i have 2 of them from 64 already and a 165.014 :)

your feelings for the aesthetics of this watch is nicely expressed and i agree wholeheartedly. just for the hell of it i'll post pics of my 2 as well First the Original condition piece. and next, the refurbed piece. as you can see, it was pretty rough whe...  

Happy to see that you can limit yourself, my friend. :)

I still don't know how you managed to get 3 '64 SM 300, you're a magician, Graham! Alll the best, Nicolas

You are one lucky...

hopefully, Hans, the wait will make it all the better. Graham

I am sure it will :-)

For me, it was the finest no date dive watch ever made

 
 By: mrsnak : October 15th, 2010-15:59
The perfect watch...  

Well, mrsnak, I think I even prefer the 14 755, if we speak " aesthetics ".

 
 By: amanico : October 16th, 2010-09:44
The thin bezel is to die for. Now, on this SM 300 165 024, I love its homogeneity, and the facth that, to me, it is more a dive watch than the 14 755. The large bezel and the nigger indexes /hands, make it more legible. Best, Nicolas

Can't really argue with you on that...

 
 By: mrsnak : October 16th, 2010-10:57
They are both superb!

4 S Rule....

 
 By: FanFrancisco : October 16th, 2010-01:05
... a new rule is set by Nico to appreciate a vintage watch... this is my first to hear such excellent rule. can't agree with you more. in any case, i am just jealous to see you finally hunted for such stunning SM300 in superb and excellent condition. ind... 

Well, Stefan ...

 
 By: amanico : October 16th, 2010-09:48
I own this one for 3 years and a half, now. I didn't wear it a lot, lastly, but as with each nice watch, it was a big pleasure to rediscover it. Hence those pictures. Glad to know that you loved the " 4 S " rule, my friend. Best, Nicolas

How would I qualify it, Nico? With but one "S" . . .

 
 By: Dr No : October 16th, 2010-10:58
. . . suave! Equally smitten, Art.

Aaah, Art, for a minute I was afraid!

 
 By: amanico : October 16th, 2010-11:03
Yes, Art, if I had to choose one word starting with S, it would be the same than yours. Best, my friend. Nicolas.

Very attractive watch, although...

 
 By: dxboon : October 16th, 2010-23:29
...you know I prefer the internal rotating bezel and dual crowns of a compressor-cased diver. The world of vintage Omegas is a diverse and wonderful one. I love to visit the vintage Omega store with Art, Snak and other friends. It is always a treat to see... 

I would love to be attracted by super compressor watches only, Sister.

 
 By: amanico : October 16th, 2010-23:56
It would reduce my wish list in a serious way! Each of them, super compressor or not has its charm, Daos. And their own personality. Aaah, these Diving watches, they will make me suffer a lot! Best, Daos. Nicolas

S...

I would say Sporty!... Nice pictures Nico. Matt

S factor.....!

And adding to the 4S... Superior Seductive Stunning Simplicity (at its best) What a beautiful SM300, and superb photos and post. Don't wait too long before you discover her again What I really like is the 3-6-9-12 Best my friend Hans

That makes much more than 4 S, my friend... :)

 
 By: amanico : October 18th, 2010-12:52
But I have to agree, this one deserves all the Superlatives... Damn, another S! Best and thanks, Hans. Nicolas.
