Okay, guys, so today I’m talking about this Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean 600m/2000ft watch I’ve been messing around with. I’ve been on the hunt for a decent watch for a while, and let me tell you, finding a good Omega, especially the Planet Ocean, can be a real pain. But I finally snagged one, and I wanted to share my experience.
First off, I started by looking everywhere. Seriously, it felt like I scoured every corner of the internet. This particular model is a classic, inspired by watches from way back in the day, like the mid-1900s, so it’s not always easy to find the exact one I want. There are tons of places to look, but it was not easy to find a legit, used, 100% original one.
Here’s what I did:
- Scouring the Web: I spent hours browsing through different websites. I read a bunch of listings, trying to find something in good condition.
- Narrowing Down: I finally found a few that looked promising. This one caught my eye because it was listed as “inspected” and “cleaned,” which is a big deal when you’re buying used. The seller also had a good reputation which made me feel a little better.
- Digging Deeper: I did some more research on this specific model. It’s part of the Seamaster line, specifically the Planet Ocean, which is known for being super tough and water-resistant. This one’s rated for 600 meters or 2000 feet, which is way more than I’ll ever need, but it’s cool to know it can handle that much pressure. The watch also has that “Co-Axial Chronometer” thing. And I learned that it has a Cal. 601 movement made between 1962 and 1970. I think that is pretty cool. It is supposed to be accurate and reliable.
- Taking the Plunge: After a lot of back and forth, I decided to go for it. The price was reasonable, and everything seemed to check out.
- Inspecting the Goods: When the watch arrived, I gave it a thorough once-over. I checked the case, the band, the glass, everything. This model usually comes in sizes from 39.5mm to 45.5mm, and this one was on the larger side, which I like. It felt solid and well-made, just like an Omega should.
- Enjoying the Watch: I’ve been wearing it for a while now, and I have to say, I’m really happy with it. It’s a great everyday watch, and it looks good with everything. Plus, it’s an Omega, so it should hold its value pretty well.
So, that’s my story about getting this Omega Planet Ocean. It took some effort, but it was totally worth it. If you’re looking for one of these, just be patient and do your research, and you’ll find a good one. It’s a solid investment and a really cool piece of watch history. And trust me, it feels great to finally have it on my wrist!
