Here's a very nice Omega Seamaster Professional 300M, Model Ref. 2531.80.00, dating by serial to approximately 2007. This is the automatic full-size 41mm model. Watch only, no box/papers.
Definitely not a safe queen and shows some mileage, with scuffs, scrapes and dings throughout as pictured, the most notable being a ding at the edge of the 1:00 lug. The sapphire crystal appears perfect and the bezel, which has faded beautifully, is almost blemish-free (a very light scrape at the 28 marker) and turns decisively. Date changes without issue, although it sits maybe a half-millimeter above centre which I understand is not unusual for its age.
The close-up pictures highlight the case defects but on the wrist this Seamaster Pro looks very nice and clean indeed, and wears very comfortably.
Timekeeping has been excellent to my observation. The movement was checked over by my watchmaker, Shane Ede, on June 2, 2022, adjusted and given a solid bill of health. Winds and screws down smoothly.
Has not been pressure-tested and the seals have not been changed as far as I'm aware, so I would not suggest swimming or diving with this watch until those things are done.
Bracelet (1503/825) fits my 6.75" wrist comfortably, with one additional removed link that will be included. With the added link, should fit up to a 7.25" wrist. Additional links if needed are easily sourced online.
Specifications are described below in the screen shot taken from Omega's site for this legacy model.
$2,850 shipped to your door. Thanks for looking.
