I have had a TT Datejust model 1601 Rolex for years. I bought it used and it is a 1972 model that has jsut been serviced. A Gentleman would like to trade me his Seamaster Professional Automatic + $200.00 for the Rolex. He just had the Omega serviced. I have never owned an Omega. Is this a good trade? I have vision problems and I can really see the Seamaster as well as any watch I have looked at. Thanks

Which Omega ref? A used SMP Professional 2531.80 (for example) normal sells between $900-$1200 depending on condition/wear.

You do your math here and see if it's worth it. Also, if you have visio problems, the Omega does not have a cyclops so you may have a hard time reading the date on the Omega not being magnified.

The date is not an issue. I can't see it on my Rolex with the cyclops. I know this seamaster is a mechanical automatic movement and is full size, 41mm without the crown. It has the blue dial and the open sword hands. I don't know the model number, I will get it today. The Datejust 1601 is selling between $1500-$1800 realistically if you find the right buyer.

Cool. Good luck with your deal. The blue wave dial is nice on this Bond watch.

skyman51 · 29 July 2012, 10:12 PM

Getting it tomorrow. Just been serviced and is a complete set. It is model# 2531.80.00

Sounds like you need a bigger watch to
assist your vision. How about a 45.5mm Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean instead?

That one was my first 'nice' watch ever.

I think you'll like that watch, blue is cool and the skeleton hands are very noticeable at night IMHO

Congrats on the incoming iconic blue Bond Seamaster. Sounds like a "win/win" for both of you. Don't forget to post pics!
