Omega Mark II reverse panda dial

Hey guys,

Went down an Omega rabbit hole the other day and came across this Mark II with a reverse panda dial. I’m more of a moonwatch aficionado myself but I really liked that MK II version. However, I couldn’t find any more info and all my searches came up with the regular black dial (with some colour variations).

I know Omega has editions like the Marui with panda dials but I don’t think that’s the case here.

Anyone wants to share knowledge…

Omega new SMP steel mesh bracelets – opinions ?

Hey guys,

I’m really tempted in buying the new Omega steel bracelet and switch my rubber strap on my SMP300. The Omega is my primary watch, I wear it every day. I was wondering what is your opinion about the Omega mesh as a “wear every day option”.

Does the mesh bracelets stretch like the jubilee ? Any problems with them I should be aware of (reliability of clasps etc.) What is your general opinion on wearing the mesh to casual / sport dressing ? Are you happy with yours ?

Thanks in…

Omega Planet Ocean 2500D / to service or not?

I just picked up a Planet Ocean 2500D last week, in near mint shape. It is keeping amazing time at just 1/2 second fast per day so I’d rather not get it serviced if I don’t need to.

My question is around water resistance. Since it is the 2500D movement, it was probably manufactured in 2011. I’m assuming it was never serviced.

I have no interest in diving with it but should I assume it has no water resistance or just less than it’s full 600m?

Thanks!

my kid’s birthyear SMP300: my “exit” watch

I have achieved another milestone of becoming a “landlord”, so wanted to treat myself with chump change from my surprisingly hefty tax return.

I have been looking for an “affordable” gada luxury sports watch that i will have no guilt wearing it the fullest for a long term, in rotation with my other watches. After all, my big dent in the wallet mandates i refrain from buying any toys for while.

i ran into this smp300. My kid too was fascinated with the looks of this watch, so i negotiated…
