Omega Seamaster 300 Professional - Gorgeous
Condition - 1 Year Warranty
Today's auction showcases
this superior Certified Pre-Owned Omega Seamaster 300 Professional
watch. It is one of the so-called James Bond watches, so named
for when this model of Seamaster 300 Professional appeared in
the movie 'Golden Eye' (1995).
This midsized blue bezeled late ‘90’s
Seamaster watch is the exact model worn often by President Joe
Biden, who has worn it for more than 20 years - it seems to be
his most often worn watch.
Stylish and useful, this midsize
James Bond Seamaster is well-suited for those with average to
slightly small size wrists. At 36mm without the crown and guards
(40mm with the crown) it is a nice size that fits in well with
emerging trend of smaller watches.
Its
large luminous hands and hour markers against its deep blue dial
make it easily legible at all times and of course the rotating
bezel and helium escape valve are designed for true diving uses.
The Seamaster was originally designed to be water
resistant to 1,000 feet.
And it features a caliber 1538 Omega quartz movement
with quick-setting hour for easy changing of the date and time
zone.
In its pre-owned form, this
Seamaster presents an excellent value, providing greater quality
and attention to detail than is often found in watches in this
under $2500 price range.
We were fortunate to acquire it in
such gorgeous condition. It has all of its
original parts and presents as a 9.7 out of 10.
The case presents
as mint. The bezel insert presents as mint and retains a strong
blue color. And the dial presents as mint.
A Master Watchmaker has performed
any needed servicing, and we have meticulously detailed it making
it ready for immediate enjoyment.
Included with
the purchase is a full one-year warranty on the movement and its
function and a custom printed Connoisseur of Time Certificate
of Authenticity.

watch on the official Omega website. And here is a link to Omega's official page

Our
Selling & Shipping Information:
- 100% satisfaction guarantee for all of our watches. If
you are in any way unsatisfied with it, you are welcome
to return it in the condition it was sold anytime within
30 days for a full refund of the purchase price. Our goal
is to exceed your expectations throughout the buying experience.
We hope you love it!
- The water
resistance of vintage watches can no longer be guaranteed
and is not covered under the watch's warranty. We don't
recommend getting a vintage watch wet - and really don't
recommend showering or diving with it - even one that
was originally designed to be waterproof.
- We have
extensive international shipping experience. In the last
12 years we have safely shipped thousands of high value
watches around the world (to over 70 countries!).
- All items are packaged very carefully and mailed in large
reinforced shipping boxes appropriate for high value items
so you don't need to worry about your watch arriving safely.
Wait until you see how big the box is that your watch
is coming in!
(Please do remember though that while we do our very best
and have careful procedures and quality control inspections
- we will again fully re-test the proper functioning of
your watch after you pay, right before we send it to you
- from time to time
some courier workers don't handle packages the way we
think that they would want their own packages to be handled.
Watches are ultra-precision instruments, and the timekeeping
of most is governed by a small spring that is only about
1/8 the thickness of a human hair.
The vast majority of our watches arrive safely and problem
free. However at times vintage watches
and their hairsprings can be sensitive to rough courier
handling or just having a difficult trip to you.
But even on a bad day there's still good news... We offer
a full one-year warranty on virtually every watch we sell
(unless occasionally specifically stated otherwise), so
if anything happens to it in transit or goes wrong anytime
in the first year, we will gladly repair it for you at
no charge. Yes, even the older vintage watches. So sit
back, relax, and dream about the first place where you're
going to wear your new watch!
- Our official
warranty in many ways mirrors those of a number of the
watch manufacturers and covers the proper timekeeping
of the movement. It does not cover things like abuse,
being dropped, crystals, bracelets, crowns, case parts
etc. or water resistance. While we are the sole determinants
of what qualifies for warranty work.... even if you have
a problem that you don't think will qualify for coverage,
tell us about it anyway. We are here to serve and just
might be able to help you.
- Winning bidders must fully pay within 48 hours of the end
of the auction. After 48 hours the watch will be relisted.
- To be fair to all bidders, we make it our practice not
to end an auction early.
- Because of the high rate of lost items and number of fraudulent
payments, we do not sell or ship to Indonesia or Africa.
_______________________________________________________
