- I was going to take a break from buying watches, but here I am with this stunning Omega Seamaster 2255.80 electric blue dial. Summer Blue would also be an appropriate name!

This Electric Blue if fit with 2254.50 Black Bezel look Super!..............I get my 2254.50 all because of you.......never regret!
I love the neo vintage Omegas. Just bought a Aqua Terra 2503.80. Amazing! Looking forward to get a SMP300 2255.80 or 2254.50. Great Channel 🙂
Lovely watch! I’ve just taken delivery of the titanium version, the 2231.80! The dial is amazing.
Huge fan of the solid caseback with the classic seamaster logo as well.got a seamaster 300 in black from casino Royale with same caseback
I agree it's always best to get a watch in as full a set as possible, and I've had many many dozens of them. But it's also super liberating to get a watch as is, as long as it's one you really really want, in great condition, from a trusted seller. And I've had a few of those too. I just bought the titanium version of this electric blue, on the Ti Bond bracelet. I searched for friggin' years to find one, got it at a great price because of no B/P's and never plan to sell it. it's perfect! And now it's just my watch, with no additional paraphernalia taking up space in my house.
Full Set for me is like having all the history of a watch, but actually none of it is particularly relevant given the warranty card is expired anyway, and boxes can be bought on eBay for a few dollars. So yes, I totally agree with you, and like the analogy of the naked watch having its baggage removed and you creating your own history with it. Maybe I've been looking at it the wrong way all this time...my 1969 King Seiko has no accessories and I like the mystery of wondering what it's history was, but also being the new custodian of such an old and well cared for watch

You captured that dial well 😊
Nice to see a left hander wear their watch on the right wrist. Beautiful piece
Glad you like it!
New channel watches and feathers! Love this seamaster and nice find with the full set! Beautiful setting there as well with your buddy.
Watches and feathers has a ring to it! I'm making another video soon, specifically about red feathers and how they relate to the watch hobby!
It’s beautiful and looks to be in nice condition. Congratulations!
Thank you, yes it's in very decent condition. Been groomed absolutely as the case and bracelet is spotless, but no major dings, which is the important thing
Lovely video with the Fantail and the story about Surfer’s Paradise. I also bought that exact watch last summer in Japan (where I live). Also in excellent condition full set, but originally bought in Yokohama (where I used to live - now in Tokyo). Agree the stories behind these watches and the colour the warranty card brings to its heritage bring are part of the fun. This watch is really stunning. Agree with the caseback - I prefer it so much to the sapphire. I love also the flat profile, but that dial - my oh my ❤. Second only to the SBDC151/SPB259 Ginza Alpinist, which to me is the most stunning dial I have seen on any watch - (including Grand Seiko). They are very expensive now compared to their original retail price but if you can find a good deal, worth checking out! Love the vids - keep up the great work!
Thank you! I had a look at that Seiko dial, and it looks quite stunning! So many nice watches in Japan. I suppose it's a combination of a large fairly affluent population, and generally a culture of being very well presented. It must be a great place to live.
Lovely watch congratulations on your purchase 🎉🎉
Jumped into this rabbit hole for years - 2255, 2254 but also 2232.80 and recently 2231.50 !
So many great variations!
@@TheRandomWatchDude and paid less than 3K for each !
@@robynsjp That's another massive advantage of this generation of watches
I agree with you on casebacks. I love the Omega and Seiko logo casebacks much more than an exhibition caseback.
that is why the hesalite moon watch is the only true Omega today
Congratulations Mark not seen this version looks great I would buy this watch I'll look it up thanks John.
Thanks John! Been enjoying this a lot since it arrived a couple of days ago
Great buy! I also recently purchased on Chrono24 a 1999 Omega 2531.80 B&P and love it. BUT I have just purchased again from Chrono24 new 2024 Omega Seamaster Railmaster co-axial on a bracelet with 5year international warranty.
This forgotten watch overshadowed by the Speedy and Diver 300 is an unbeatable bargain. Check it out Guys.
Fantastic! The Railmaster is an overlooked beauty for sure. All the Omega tech, brushed case and some highly original dials. Congratulations 🎊
Lovely Omega 👌
This has been on my radar too! I’m sure this would look awesome on an OEM Omega blue rubber strap.
I'm definitely thinking of always keeping one on a NATO
Beautiful Mark, well may she wear 😂
Might I ask what should one expect to pay for a great condition one of these ?
Mel
Thank you Mel. 2000USD should get you a good one. A beaten up one maybe 1500-1800USD that's plus tax of course if you're importing one 😉
I did excatly the same thing just a week ago. But mine was the only in japan limited edition automatic 36mm Jacques Mayol. Got a great deal for $1300. Nearly mint condition.
oooh they're nice models. I didn't realise the Jacques Mayol was Japan-only.
@@TheRandomWatchDude . The one I got was from 1999. I believe only 3000 were issued.
Yes, the JM is limited production for Japan market. I got the green wave dial full-set when vacationing in Japan few years back at a very good price. This 41mm is a much better choice though IMHO. Congrats Mark. Great taste
Cor that’s a looker
Nothing screams luxury more than Instructions in a million languages, hardly comfort or elegance and it certainly doesn't provide pleasure or satisfaction finding the correct section. It can't be that hard to find out what language you need and just provide that book . Nice watch though .
Truly happy for your purchase. This era of Seamaster it's truly one of the most underrated watches ever. If Omega can recreate this version to modern standards they could charge double what the current 300 goes for. However, even then so many would want to be bribed with discounts to buy one.
Thank you! Yes a modern interpretation of this line would be an amazing coup for Omega. I wonder if they would dare try 🤔
@@TheRandomWatchDude I doubt it. Based on the most recent designs and movements it seems like they lean towards a bigger case. I think a happy compromise would be an awesome new bracelet that tapers and quick change feature. Maybe some better two tone options and dial colors.
