Not with the "master" movement, of course.
My observations after a very short examination.
Great construction, outstanding case/dial and a movement that is one of the top chronograph movements ever.
My only gripe is that under certain light conditions it suffers from poor visibility of the hands.
Cheers,
Nilo

What will be your first/next/last Omega?
By: nilomis : September 4th, 2014-05:02
Team, Post here what will be your first/next/last Omega. Two days back I put an order for the Seamaster 300 Master. First time that I do this (put an order) but I could not resist this watch. (Picture from Omega site). No date (Amanico's disease), ultra m...
Why, oh why . . .

Tropic seems to be an option and ...

It so happens that I have one on my strap inventory. Vintage, of course. But the Seamaster 300 Master lug width is 20mm and my Tropic is 19mm. About NATO, I'm not a particular fan of those but I also have some. Let's wait and see. Cheers, Nilo
Very hard to get one ...
By: nilomis : September 4th, 2014-06:44
In good shape. That's the reason that I got the Speedmaster FOIS (First Omega In Space). Perfect re edition, including case and lug width. Got a Shell Cordovan strap that is perfect to it. Need to post some pics, along with a "Strap Addiction" post that I...
I will do...

Go to borrow the original vintage from a dear friend that has one and compare. Thanks, Nilo
CK2998-1

I have been months after a nice CK2998-1 hope finally can be mine ( of course will post pics if happens )
Yes

Yes Amanico , but you know how we are......never happy and always looking for the next A disease no doubt :) Rgds
Was lucky to find this one a few years back.....
By: Darren : September 4th, 2014-07:07
I only have a few vintage timepieces currently, but this is one I think I'll always have. Next up for me may be my first modern Omega - the very SM 300 that was the subject of the original post. I think Omega nailed it with this one - just perfect. Darren...
That's not luck but ...

Some sort of a miracle. Never had a chance to get one like yours. Congratulations. Cheers, Nilo
How about black/grey sharkskin?
By: cazalea : September 4th, 2014-08:25
If you find the right color, it adds a touch of novelty and sportiness to the watch you don't get with other leather textures (like salmon!) Mike This might be my last Omega unless I get inspired - and the one you have chosen is VERY VERY NICE ...
Sharkskin is an option ...
By: nilomis : September 4th, 2014-08:49
I never had one sharkskin strap. About Omega, just as a cookie advert here, is impossible to not have another. Cheers, Nilo
+1 . . .

. . . and truly, what could be more fitting for a Seamaster than the master of the sea? ...
What was the poor shark ...
By: nilomis : September 5th, 2014-16:39
That produced this skin? Jaws? Now serious. Very cool and matches the SM perfectly. Cheers, Nilo

.....i have a speedy from about 7 years ago.....and 2 months ago I added my second Omega...2914-3. I am now looking for a 2913 lollipop generation but am not having a lot of luck....and am seriously contemplating the same model you have ordered. It was my...

Umm . . .
By: Dr No : September 4th, 2014-11:30
. . . could you ask an easier question next time? :-) Seriously, there are countless candidates for my collection. A few no-brainers: the 2014 DeVille Trésor . . . . . . the 2012 Olympics SM . . . . . . and its 2012 Speedmaster counterpart, the ref 2998 r...

Nice choice ...
By: nilomis : September 4th, 2014-12:06
But not for me. I'm not a gold person, don't know why. Cheers, Nilo
Believe me ...
By: nilomis : September 4th, 2014-13:37
That is much more easy here to acquire a nice first generation Flightmaster (910?) than the SM 120. Cheers, Nilo
I have the same Seamaster on order. But in the end I may decide...

...to change my mind one last time and get the Dark Side instead. I love both watches but have been having a hard time removing that black ceramic watch from my thoughts. Besides, there is no ceramic watch in my collection whereas the Seamaster 300 will b...
Hard decision ...
By: nilomis : September 5th, 2014-03:06
I saw the DSOM, amazing impressive. But The SM 300 Master ... Hard, very hard to decide. Each one has particularities that I love. Good luck. Cheers, Nilo
