That looks great Juko .. I just posted ...*PICS*
In Response To: Seamaster 120 f300hz came in this morning.... ()


Hi Juko,

That looks like another Beauty that you found there. Is it another from Keith ?

I just posted an advert for this watch on my website. ( Click on the pic for a larger version )

As to your question :- I wonder why you don't see these watches more often?

Look at the prices mentioned in the above advert & the following advert.

As you can see f300 watches were NOT cheap. ( more than the PloProf, Speedmaster, 1040 Seamasters etc etc.) Given the higher purchase price & "reluctance" to try new technology & the fact that they were replaced by "Pure" quartz or LED/ LCD watches within a few years, I can see why Omega didn't sell too many of them.

Isn't it also remarkable that f300's are now cheaper than all of the previously mentioned models ?

Nevertheless, I like your watch Juko ( Steve mentally notes to start looking for one of these ).

S.
