Is that a Non-AC or a mod? I think the Non-AC is the best version of the SMP. :thumbsup:

Omega released this exact watch as a tie in with the America's Cup, but it said "America's Cup" on the dial. They stripped all the tie ins off the watch and released it as the 2230, which is colloquially called the "Non-AC".

How are you doing?

I got pretty fortunate picking this one up off the Bay for a really good price. If your searching on EBay, try Seamaster 300. They usually are not marked as 2230.50

Another difference I forgot was the bracelet - it came with the better 2254 style rather than the bond.
