    Just the perfect size for a dress watch, todays offerings have blown out of all proportion, even Omega now have a ladies range of Speedmasters at 38mm. There must be some hulking big ladies out there.

    I love watching these videos. I have my Dad's Omega Seamaster (1959-1962, model 2975, all steel, caliber 28SC, new caliber 501w/ 20 jewels), but haven't been able to find anyone willing or able to repair it. I even contacted the Omega Company and they told me the watch was just too old, so they wouldn't touch it. It runs, but the winding stem was pulled out of the case. I would like to have Dad's old watch cleaned and repaired. Can anyone help me find someone willing to repair the watch? No Omega watch should be wasting away in storage box.

    I've made a video on the 2975 case model as well. Very nice piece. I don't think Omega will take in too many vintage watches for repair or the vintage watch market will continue to rocket. You can always try asking on the Omega forum. I am sure someone there will be able to refer you to a reliable watchmaker.

    In 1982, I saw, liked, and bought for the first my very own watch from an uncle who said it's a solid 18karat wristwatch with leather strap (Omega, easily readable selected crocodile, #s). I wore every now and then and stopped wearing it in 1992. I found it a few days ago and out of curiosity I wore it for a day and wow, it's still working!! I wonder if it's authentic though because nowhere does it say where it's made(Swiss Made??). On the dial, Omega's symbol, below it the word OMEGA, and below that automatic. And further down is the word Seamaster and that's it. On the screw caseback, also in gold, are SEAMASTER, figure of seahorse, and WATERPROOF. Should I get it checked or is it a fake??? Thank you.

    I love your videos. So insightful. I'm looking for the one seamaster for my collection. And running into this video inspired me for the 2922. If you were me and only could have one seamaster which would it be? Could you maybe let me know what your top 3 or 4 would be? And what kind of money would I expect to pay for one in good condition. If I can find one of your 3 or 4, I would like to send it to you to restore it for me. It would be the best watch in my collection. I've seen many seamasters on e-bay, so maybe I will find one to be the king of my collection. Hope to hear from you. Thanks

    Thank you for watching. There are too many choices when it comes to a Seamaster watch. It comes down to personal preferences. I would recommend one from the 1950s or 1960s. But you'll need to make sure the watch is all original and in good working order. You can always visit my website to view all the available pieces. You can narrow down to 3-4 of your favourites and let me know. I can assist you with the best choice to go with. But make sure you are serious about the purchase. Sadly some people will use me to assist them and then purchase from somewhere else. In that case, I would recommend you create a question on the Omega Forums and several specialists there can assist you. :-)
