Icon20 Should I keep my Omega SMP 300 Quartz

Hey guys,

I recently bought the two tone, new gen, SMP 300. (blue dial, steel on yellow gold).

42mm, blue rubber strap.

I also have an old SMP 300, from the Quartz era, in mint condition. Also blue dial, 41mm and steel bracelet. A relative wants to buy it for about $3K USD.

I'm wondering if I should sell the Quartz... It is the only quartz movement in my collection, and I have not even replaced the battery.


Thoughts?

Don't really need money, but I would sell to a relative (that's good).

I'm just too OCD and can't stand the fact that it has no batteries

Obviously your choice but if you are not wearing it why not move it along. Take part of your 3k and go get a cool Seiko Quartz Tuna for a completely different look and have a great beater.

100% agree. I let a few go over the years and wish I didn't have to. If you don't need the money, hang onto it.

Part of their history, indeed. A lovely, unique watch and it's what got the Seamaster started as a Bond watch.

In your shoes I would totally hang onto this piece.

I wouldn’t sell a watch or anything for that matter to a relative

I have a quartz Seamaster that I wear very frequently. It's my grab and go watch if I don't feel like winding and setting.

I've never thought of selling it.

Same here I actually opted for the Omega 2264.50 as my GADA watch it’s also called the Peter Blake omega and it’s awesome.
