I am sorry. 'Useless' was certainly not the idea I wanted to convey. Just was looking forward to getting card since the day I got my SMP.

No apology needed at all. Great to see the true excitement flowing through from a new SMP owner!!

Anyway, I took the liberty of 'shopping your card to reflect the current year. I hope thats alright. If anyone wants, they could use this.

Thank you again! Cheers

Any idea about this piece that was left behind by my dad?

Is fully gold plated and I have no idea how to give it a more modern twist so that I will wear it out.

Is a waste for it to be just lying around.
Any suggestion from the gurus here will be much appreciated!

Wow. Beauty. Can I ask for a link for the strap? I have the same watch.

Here's me thinking, why did I not think of that.. I'd sugest that it is the rubber from a PO. Looks great, and although I own the 2254, I have never been all that impressed by the feel (stiffness) of the PO Rubber. Panerai rubber on the other hand, now that is smooth, and soft.
Regardless, I'm going to try the combo out. Thanks PicklePussy! Oops ? p...possy!" Freudian slip..

Just got my seamaster 2531.80 today and these watches just look amazing!

Hope to join the club and thanks in advance!

I knew one day I would feel it. Regret. And your photo lastshotkid aroused that emotion. I've ever only sold 2, and now ever only regretting selling two! :-d

Looks like you have a nice collection/taste happening there. Nearly as many watches as post though? :-d:-d

The 2531.80 is a dream to wear. Congrats..

 

[lastshotkid]

Thanks Mark and I hope you find a chance to get another one back on your wrist soon.

It's true about the posts though haha =) and will try to dart in a few words more frequently as well.

All the best!

Can anyone suggest how often these watches should be serviced? I was told by some AD around every 5 years depending on use. Thanks!

 

[yande]

That's about right, though longer if it is a co-axial movement.

Great! Thanks again!

Perhaps the only Omega watch that I do not own, (semantics rather than bragging) that I am envious of. That would look so sweet on my wrist. (I'm thinking better? or nearly as nice as? my 2254.50?) hmmmm? Regardless, Second time, I love it! |>

Be careful. There are two very similar looking straps - one for the PO and one for the SMP 300M. Apparently they are different and not interchangeable.

The SMP 300M such as 2254.50 takes strap 98000085

The PO takes strap 98000144

Omega Rubber Deployment Buckle and Clasp Straps

If you look closely there is a subtle difference - the 300M strap has larger holes taking a 10mm tongue on the buckle whereas the holes on the PO strap are smaller, taking a 7mm tongue on the buckle.

Hope that helps
