Hi Marc. Hope you start making more content. Miss your stuff and don’t really watch the Pontiff much any more. A fan from Chicagoland!

[@steelsteez6118]

Andy Hunter 😢...miss that guy. Always gave solid advice. You are one of the VERY FEW that knows that name. You must have been here since the beginning.

[@marcgoldbergdogtrainer]

Yes I’m OG and Andy was a friend.

[@tes77a]

Great to have a new video from you 👍

[@richardoeser5643]

We need an updated state of your collection episode! Love watching your stuff. Been following you for years! Interested in seeing what’s came, what’s stayed, and what’s gone. Thanks Marc!

[@Bruthah]

His collection is always changing. He can’t stick with any watches for any appreciable amount of time because he hates himself and isn’t comfortable with who he is and the constant changing of watches reflects that. I would bet his personal life is a train wreck

[@Aaronozard]

Where have you been.....good video ❤

Good to see you again and great video

Glad to see you again Marc 😎🏆

I always enjoyed your videos Marc

[@evh4611]

Miss Andy. He was great

[@disheuresdis]

300 fauxtina vintage is the clear winner in my book. Good video Marc!

[@ameza357]

If they would tone down the wart and taper the bracelet, the 300c would be the clear winner and a top contender against the big brands!!

[@marcgoldbergdogtrainer]

I totally agree. I also don’t like the skeleton hands because they don’t hold the lume well. But great dials!

I love the HE valve! I wish it was even bigger! Jk I don’t mind it though. But I love how so many guys get their panties in a wad over it. 😅

Miss your videos! Any planned for release?

Marc!!! I'm sitting in a lovely café in Gallerian, Stockholm, and I'm PAINTING THE SKY!!!!!! 😄

Great old school watch channel video. Good to see you post Marc. It’s a nice piece. Too big for me though.

[@michaelfierman3256]

Note to Marc: the new 300 bezel is not ceramic.

[@bigguns8044]

I believe the version of the 300 heritage without the lolipop seconds hands is ceramic, am I wrong? Regardless the one he has is not ceramic.

Hardened aluminium bezel on the heritage model

[@nartlambaz]

I have both . The Seamaster 300 professional I have is the 43mm ceramic case titanium bezel versions. The Seamaster 300 heritage is the black sanwich dial one .

Miss your content, Marc.

[@Neil.C57510]

Nice 👌🏻

[@jayowen4526]

Love this!! So out of the Seamaster line, including the Aqua Terra, which are you choosing?

[@simonotoole4437]

Definitely prefer the SMP I find it a much more interesting watch although I would definitely like them to add a tapered bracelet to it👍

[@MauriceDay-em1xy]

The heritage SM doesn't have AR coating on the outside. Only on the inside. Another advantage from my view

[@flaviusjurj6960]

I have not seen you in a while. You look 10 years younger with a beard. 👍

[@TwentyOne_Five]

He should try dyeing the beard. He’d look just like Don, Jr. Lol!

[@bnick25352535]

Changing anything on these two watches will put them in price brackets i dontbwant to be.Both watches are beautiful,reason i bought the Seamaster diver 300 blue and saving up for the Seamaster 300 next.

[@TwentyOne_Five]

C’mon mark. Time for a vid.

[@thamadflava]

I've been eyeing this exact blue Seamaster Heritage for c. 2 years now, and on a recent trip I've made a mistake of trying one on at an Omega boutique. Why a mistake? Can't stop thinking about it every day ever since ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[@marcgoldbergdogtrainer]

I know what you mean, it’s gonna be hard to send this one back.

[@gavinBsussex]

If you own a Rolex Sub or Sea dweller then putting on the SMP 300 with the 5 link bracelet and non taper, then unfortunately the Omega does feel a bit less refined. However the bracelet is its thing, its part of its look and heritage. and if you really hate the bracelet then you can buy Omega's Milanese mesh strap or the rubber, both of which are excellent ( i have my SMP300 on the mesh and its great). I can never understand why so many people rant about the HE valve or the scalloped bezel, or the bracelet - these are its unique features. Why do they want an Omega to look like a Submariner? Just buy the Sub.... i like that the SMP has those features it makes it so distinguishable

[@nedflanders3769]

I have the SMP diver 300/m in black wave dial. The bracelet is a hunk of metal even on my big old 8.3 incher. So I’m thinking about getting the OEM rubber strap.

[@steves8322]

FYI black or blue dial seamaster 300 has aluminum lumed bezel but the new gradient dial 75th anniversary blue is ceramic bezel

[@scotchewatchesandcigars]

I am trying to start a Chicagoland watch meetup group. Do you know any other people from chicagoland in the watch community?

[@steelsteez6118]

10:23 I think you should buy it and keep it. Looks good on your wrist. While I love the sub, on your wrist , this 300 looks better. Dont know if its the vintage vibes or not. Maybe the slimmer bezel. I dunno, the shape of the watch along with that bracelet just compliments your wrist shape more .

[@scotchewatchesandcigars]

Marc would you join my meet up group. Scotches Watches & Cigars.

[@RolexDanny]

Hey whats up with moneypenny ????

[@mobydick3895]

Can you just imagine what increase in sales Omega would get if they took that hideous Helium escape valve off the 300 ??? !!! Whys they don't try it has got to be the work of a hard head somewhere.

[@steelsteez6118]

it's not HE valve that will make a huge difference , it's the bracelet that will.

[@dimitrisaltanis4451]

The SMP doesn’t have ceramic bezel dude 😂

[@mitchmatic8029]

So ironic the vintage is more modern in wearability and function than SMP. Have SMP current iteration in Black. Think I would go Planet O over 300 Vintage.

One warning: Exquisite Timepieces is sending lots of secondhand and even new watches on tour to YT’ers like Marc hete and Random Rob. That realize that those watches are being handled,used and abused all the time. And the YT’ers are functioning as sales reps for Exquisite Timepieces.

[@bigguns8044]

Wart and tiny useless date window are my two dislikes of the 300m professional

[@marcgoldbergdogtrainer]

I don’t even see the wart anymore. Never had a problem with the date window, but that bracelet…

[@bigguns8044]

@@marcgoldbergdogtrainer I have no problem with the bracelet,actually I like that it doesn’t taper.
