OT watch experts Omega Seamaster Diver 300

At least post a photo of the watch so that the people of the OT can judge how trashy you are. And put “Paging Broke” in your title if you want a real opinion.

Which particular one? As a matter of taste, I don't care for the skeleton hand wave dial models, but ref. 233.32.41.21.01.002 in my opinion is one of the best looking luxury dive watches not in the Submariner range. I have a Planet Ocean ref. 2201.51 that just got back from a service that has been a really good watch. It also features a coaxial escapement and has been remarkably accurate over the years. I don't love the look of many Omega dive bracelets, but the reference I mention above has a great looking one, again in my opinion.

I'll also suggest that if you have the ability to check it out in person, you might consider a Tudor Black Bay Heritage (41 mm/14.8 mm thick) or Black Bay 58 (39 mm/12 mm thick) in that price range as well. The current Black Bay design is a nod to the original Submariners. As for a source, I typically prefer to buy from a vetted pre-owned dealer or private sale from someone I can trust or authorized dealer as opposed to a gray market source, but that's just me.

i called out Obtuse once thinking no way the watches he said he owned were real. He quickly set me straight

Dude knows his stuff

Are you looking for a pre-owned? Try Cape Town diamonds

Between 2 and 3k I’d look for a Sinn. They have tons of interesting designs. Even inside of those designs they have variations, this is a 756...just an example.

I've owned one. It's a good quality watch. You have to make sure it's not the small version. And you could pay less than $2500 used.

Keep looking... and buy local.

It's a nice watch.

In the sub 4k category, I would lean toward a Tudor Pelagos or Black Bay 58 over the Omega. That's just my preference though.
