After watching this, I got my seamaster 300 36mm ceramics version second hand. I think this watch is fantastic. It looks good with both formal and casual attire. Keeps time alomst horribly precise, +2sec in 7days. Very comfortable too! Thank you!!
Thank you so much for this .. I wasn't aware of a 36-37mm size. It's an absolute beauty.. You may have given me my next / first luxury watch. Great vid as always
Thanks for the review. You simply cannot get anything similar (from Omega) at this size. For the money, its hard to beat. I used to dislike the case and dial but now I grown to really like it - which just goes to show how much tastes can change
You have the box and papers for that one... there are a very big amount of debree on the dial and hands. So many that it seems dodgy. Have you gotten it checked?
I was thinking the same. It's so dangerous buy a used Omega or any luxury watch from not a authorized dealer and specially through internet, where you can't see the watch.
I like it SO much better without the wavy 'Bond' lines on the dial, and that ceramic looks GOOD! And it's under $2000? Or even close? A coaxial Seamaster Professional? New? On Joma or anywhere else?
I think it looks very small in the hand but absolutely perfect on my wrist. It is indeed very comfortable on the wrist but if the bracelet were to taper down to 18mm, it would be even more so. This is such a great watch and I do no know how likely Omega will offer another true midsize diver anytime soon. Chances are, it would be a 38mm refresh, if at all. Incidentally, my Omega Weemaster was a $1700 USD impulse buy from a Japanese pawn shop and two years later, I have no regrets.
It does but for smaller wrists, for a 6.85" and over, the regular size is the way to go. Still, the upgraded seamsters are great regardless the size which corresponds to the owner.
@@mathewazzopard8100 I am 1.84 m (I don't know how much is in the imperial system) but the 36-37 mm on me looks like I am using child things 🤣. 41 mm (new 42 mm) is going perfect.
The upgraded versions are simply great, replacing the aluminum insert and the pins in the bracelet was although delayed, a wise move. The previous version, which I bought mid 90s in Chrono was the reason I never buy a diver's with aluminum bezel. After one summer season at sea the blue bezel almost turned colorless. My only complain with the 2017 versions I bought is the absence of micro adjustments on the clasp and the half links don't cut it. The mid size is a great option for wrists smaller than 6.25". Especially in black, it's a versatile watch, it may be worn with anything. Wise choice Abe, buying back your SM. After buying the Sub and having back your SM am sure you can see they are 2 different watches. The under $2k price is a great value for money deal. Edit: awaiting the Lange review, I did mention that to me the brand holds the top of the watches pyramid.
Hi mathew, could you tell me, which versions are updated? i want to buy one of these but dont want to have an aluminium one after your comment. best wishes!
@@leonheuer9076 hi Leon, basically anything above cal 2500, everything with that movement are aluminum inserts/pins for bracelet links. I don't have anything with the current cal 8800 but I own 3 from the previous, 8500. Ceramic insert/screws for bracelet links, same type of screw as Rolex-oyster. Given the cal 8800 is the latest, I bet you can find great deals with pre-owned (in mint condition) with cal 8500.
Too small for me personally - wish they'd do a 39MM in a slimmer case like the BB58 you mentioned. And yes when will Omega wake up and change those skeleton hands ! Sword hands please
I don't actually mind the skeleton hands, mainly the upgraded bezel/bracelet and of course mechanism matter to me but yes, sword hands would have been better.
Actually the skeleton hands and the scalloped bezel were on SMs from mid 90s that they launched the new line. At the same time, or almost, they presented models with sword hands. Back then I bought 1 plain, 1 Chrono, and 1 Chrono America's Cup that was 45mm. The AC was with sword hands. They always kept the scalloped bezel as some form of SM mark. Coin bezels were introduced with the PO line. I don't really mind the scalloped or skeleton but I opt for sword, they are definitely better. I recently bought a SM which was pre-owned, skeleton, but the confirmation was like new, under warranty with full pack plus 3 straps and in addition to all that the price was great. Had to set aside the swords lol.
I got this watch for £1350 in perfect condition not a scratch on it which is amazing for the age. It didn’t come with original box or papers but bought off a legitimate local watch dealer with a great reputation for his shop and also a good friend of my dad (maybe another reason why I got it cheap). I’ve got two Rolex’s and the James Bond titanium seamaster but this is my favourite watch despite being my cheapest my gran told my dad to give me a 2k limit on a watch out her inheritance so it holds a lot of sentimental value
For as much as you comment on the importance of the lug to lug size, I'm surprised you didn't mention the extended male endlinks that increase the effective length of the lug to lug. Any chance you know those dimensions? 47mm?
Nice looking watch, and it looks great on the wrist. Glad you were able to buy it back. You're lucky. Btw, I understand people not liking the hands, but at this point, they've become a signature element, particularly since they were on the original Pierce Brosnan Bond watch in "Goldeneye".
Good vid bro. Nice watch, but my opinion is for a diver the 36mm is a bit small. 41mm one is the right size. For dress watch 36mm is not bad. Just my two cents. Cheers
I want 38mm seamaster 300m with the current design
After watching this, I got my seamaster 300 36mm ceramics version second hand. I think this watch is fantastic. It looks good with both formal and casual attire. Keeps time alomst horribly precise, +2sec in 7days. Very comfortable too! Thank you!!
I am always amazed with how accurate my seamaster midsize is everyday! Makes the experience of owning it so much more enjoyable!
Second had items can be a great value
Watched this video twice! Had no idea this even existed. Beautiful watch and lovely size .. I’m thinking this is the ultimate one watch collection.

Prices are above $3000 on Joma, yikes!
Loved this review thanks! Do you think omega will ever bring the midsize back?
You have the box and papers for that one... there are a very big amount of debree on the dial and hands. So many that it seems dodgy. Have you gotten it checked?

Been waiting for this to drop. Another banger my brother!
What’s your wrist size? There are none in my area to try on so to pull the trigger with no proportion ratio to my wrist is hard
you moved the market 30%, on it's way down now though, power of one video
The dial is not ceramic on this version. Only the latest versions have ceramic dials. The bezel insert on this is ceramic, yes, but not the dial.
i think the ceramic version is around 4000cad which is about 3000usd
@@haidweng7948 the latest model of this watch has the ceramic dial.
Hands are beautiful
Makes it stand out from the rest

the whole bracelet is 18mm on the midsize.
@@conradcoolerfiend You are correct. I misspoke. I meant 18mm tapering down to 16mm. My apologies.
@@MrJamesDuffy Apologies not accepted. Do 30 pushups.
@@saddiqjeelani563 I cannot do 30 pushups. Would you settle for 10 pushups on top of a pile of broken Daniel Wellingtons?

Omg I am in love, true unconditional love, I am gonna pick one of these up!!!!!
Nice choice bro! Im also consider adding this piece to my collection.
What wrist size are you?
What’s your wrist size? I’ve got a 7.5” wrist but I am not a fan of larger watches generally
Perfect watch, perfect review! 🙌🏽💯
Ur making me want to go back and buy my first luxury watch...I'll have to get it at 41 mm though
I did this

Absolutely agree: skeleton hands are terrible!! The rest looks great and it looks like you enjoy using it 😀 Great review.
I don't actually mind the skeleton hands, mainly the upgraded bezel/bracelet and of course mechanism matter to me but yes, sword hands would have been better.
Which reference is that? 2551.80??
Do they still make this new?
Nope, they need to tho
What size is the strap?
Very nice thing indeed.
Please do another review video
Helium escape valve is not centered at 10 o'clock.
Did you take it to the boutique to confirm is genuine?
They are always just above 10 o'clock
Yes, if they are centered with 10 it’s probably a counterfeit.
What’s ur wrist size ?
Looks good on your wrist
9 minute video and the watch doesn’t show up till 3:45 lol
Skeleton hands, helium escape valve, and the scalloped bezel kill it for me. Otherwise I like it.
Actually the skeleton hands and the scalloped bezel were on SMs from mid 90s that they launched the new line. At the same time, or almost, they presented models with sword hands.

@@zsb707 It is a little bit too special for me. Nothing wrong with that though.
👏🏽👍🏽👏🏽
1950??? where 👀
Exactly lol. This watch cant be found for under $3k in any decent condition. Maybe $1950 if it is beat to shit lol.
$1950 brand new??
Doubt it very much
@@mikecottrell7765 it was a rhetorical question. 👍👍👍👍👍
Last time the watch he advertised was 70% more expensive this time it is only a preowned and not even available. So wtf why bother with this channel.
A 39mm Seamaster would be amazing
Wish the newer model had this dial at a 39mm size.

This video is a legendary one ! I actually got my Seamaster from Joma.
The price is >3000usd for this now
Would have been nice if there was a different bracelet other than that ugly one
Great photography as always. I almost had one of these in blue but I passed it up. I may regret that later.
I have this model Seamaster and up until February this year it had never stopped for 7 years continuously
Got one for £2k
Jomashop link is Quartz movement and not automatic
Lovely video! 🙌🏽 would you pick this over a BB58?

Gorgeous watch. Gorgeous video. Ive been eyeing this item on JOMA for months. Still waiting until holiday season to pull the trigger!
Don't wait too long.

i thought all midsize models are 36,25mm. Is this 37mm a new case size for the mid size?
Is it possible to put after market bracelets on this watch? How do I find something like a black rubber strap?
18mm lug width, any 18mm rubber should fit. As for bracelets, the OEM is the best one.
Great vid. What size is your wrist for reference? Thanks
Nice
Great review, but what is your wrist size?
A Lange - the pinnacle of watch making ... it’s Art
Very well said, in many occasions my view was that Lange is at the top of the watch pyramid.
Just running traffic to Joma shop with a watch they obv gave you a discount on.
I've had this for 3 years
