I love vintage divers, love the simple not so sophisticated kind of case design. They are plenty vintage divers around; I don’t really like blancpain 50 fathoms design,
not so like super compressor design….
Hm…. Seiko leh? Too many ppl been collecting Seiko divers, I like it but don’t really feel like collecting any more Seiko divers….
I prefer something very raw, straight forward cutting case... At 1st I was looking at omega ploprof… the sm600
and the modern sm1200.
Both price beyond my affordability now.
Soon my attention was those homage watches, zixen trimix 2000m caught my attention,
helson sharkmaster also attracted me….
Then I was thinking of why not + some $$$ to get the VDB
and Enzo Mechana,
both fitted with vintage movement (rolex and omega(ENZO)) on the very raw cutting case, I love it, but both are not cheap….
After all I ask myself if I were to pay this price, better I get a better condition vintage omega. So after some study online and chit chat with frens…. My attention was focus on the Franken watch, an omega from all nos movement, case and parts…. From one of the omega appointed official service agent in Australia, W****co.
Many of our mwf members hv handle the famous sm300
and baby ploprof120.
Like I said above, my love is on those with more basic cut case design. So I prefer the
SM200,
even better look with the plongeur hands. But the price of all this isnt cheap…. So I been searching for the pre owned.
Last week, found 1 locally, with some hard bargaining…. Hm… got it at last
It came with a modern omega box
Unboxing
The watch on the nos omega mesh
But without the extension for diving… it will cost another rm400 to get it! Since I don’t dive…. No need!
