The Omega Seamaster 300M 3 Loves and 2 Hates: After 3 Years Away, Is It Time To Rebuy In 2023?

The Omega Seamaster 300M is relatively new in the grand scheme of dive watches without the long history of the Rolex Submariner or many other Seiko divers. Yet the Seamaster 300M has carved out a place of its own in history as the “James Bond Watch.” Ever since its introduction in 1995, it's been a popular choice amongst dive watch fans, and the latest version, released in 2018, has been the most popular yet. And with good reason.

I originally bought the new 42mm Seamaster 300M in 2018 and I fell in love right away. But for some reason i ended up selling it during a consolidation phase late 2019. But now I was able to spend time with it after 3 years away from it. Will it be everything I remember it being, or will it not live up to my idealized expectations?

In this video, I’m going to go over my 3 loves and 2 hates of this watch in an attempt to understand whether or not I should rebuy the Seamaster 300M after 3 years away from it. But for me rebuying a watch comes with its own set off issues that will require your help. Let me know down in the comments what you would do in my situation! (SMP300)
