Omega Seamaster Great White!

[@adaz2525]

I love this watch and am proud to own one. I don’t wear it as often as I should but enjoy wearing it when I put it on. Had a routine service in 2018 and it keeps excellent time around +2 to +3 seconds.

[@gregosaurus8916]

the design is just timeless and done well. good to hear you still wear it once in a while. wear yours in good health!

[@charles-griffin]

How much did it cost to service?

[@zalsentzer]

Great piece. I've heard that the dial texture on these old Seamasters is achieved with an engine turning mill, not laser engraving like the new ones.

[@albertoponce8796]

I have this one, the crown is small but is not a big deal for me. You are right about the Lume, is not great. But over all is a great watch, is tough and is becoming a classic. Thanks for your video!

[@gregosaurus8916]

thanks for watching - wear the great white in good health!

[@montys8th]

I have the regular black dial version on right now. The lume on the 2534.50 is the best I've seen from Omega. Don't know what's going on with the lume on the big whites.

[@gregosaurus8916]

True, had the electric blue before in quartz and that had great lume.

I love this watch and the explorer 2 id im so torn between wich to one to get

[@gregosaurus8916]

if the new explorer 2 (42mm) and you have the wrist size for it, and can get it for a good price, then explorer 2.

[@droptuned83]

Its beautiful, I love it.

[@gregosaurus8916]

thank you!

[@dowayigu1277]

I start wearing mine today, always my fave😘

[@gregosaurus8916]

Always a classic!

[@sciencewithcharlotte7677]

...another con - sadly, the hour wheel on mine has failed. Seems to be common to the caliber 1128. Once I have it repaired, I will replace the watch with something that I can't break so easily.

[@gregosaurus8916]

yeah read that I the forums too. and I'm sure the repairs are a pain.

[@sciencewithcharlotte7677]

@@gregosaurus8916 two months' painful at this point. His latest quote: " I'm trying everything I can to not need to replace your mainplate, because Omega does not offer the non-Co-axial mainplate for the GMT anymore". New hour wheel led to new crown, which led to that quote. Bit of angst here.

[@redmonmariano1091]

Where did you purchase this watch? Are you selling it?

[@gregosaurus8916]

it was a long hunt for that watch, but was able to get it locally. passed it one now to a fellow enthusiast. good luck with the hunt!

[@csarswatches]

With the GMT mania in the last couple years Omega would get a Home run re releasing this watch!!!

[@gregosaurus8916]

I hope so. Ive been waiting for a re release of this seamster line, the one with sword hands. if it happens, I hope its not going to be thick as the present models.

[@DennisC_X]

Would you take this over the 2254.50?

[@gregosaurus8916]

love the 2254 - had the electric blue dial before. Love those models since the more seamsters are just too thick now. But the helium escape valve always bothered me.

[@danielavery6725]

No cons

[@albertoponce8796]

those things you say are a pain, not really , I own one one like this and I enjoy it a lot.

[@gregosaurus8916]

The watch is simply just too stunning that it outweighs all of it.
