collected my new Seamaster 300m 2018
my new purchase came in a couple of days earlier than expected - happy days

although purchased on the secondary market through Watchfinder - this is a brand new watch sourced 14 days ago from a well known UK based Omega AD. all stickers still present and correct.

I have to say that whilst Watchfinder get some stick they were excellent here - 10% off the brand new item just released and a very favourable part exchange deal on my old Omega all completed in 4 days.

icing on the cake is that they have a black / grey striped Omega nato lieing around which they are going to send me free of charge and which I wanted and would have cost £125 from Omega direct - very pleased with that

the watch is breathtaking and the packaging / presentation for a watch that is not at all up the Omega pecking order - they nailed it with this one


some early photos of unboxing - sorry for quality as they were taken quickly and after sunset


















I would say believe all the excellent reviews and pick up one of these watches if you can


from a very happy purchaser


Tim.

Huge congratulations!
Dare to say it looks more nicer than a black SubC.
I love the wooden box as well.

Awesome - great pickup. I saw wf had these at approx 10% discount and agree with what you say. They can be good to deal with.

Congrats and enjoy the new watch!

It’s beautiful. For some reason I like the blue dial on the previous model, but on this mode, I prefer the black

true to their word the black and grey striped omega nato arrived in the post looks brand new and a free £125 value to me - well pleased and thanks to watchfinder making the deal even sweeter for me

Just bought this watch and I agree - looks, feels, and is better than a sub c. I own 8 Rolex and this is very well made. My new favorite watch.

I agree black is the winner. I stick to my comments, just too large for 6.5.
