Omega Seamaster GMT Great White
Omega Seamaster GMT Great White
About time I'm making this post..
Around christmas jimyritz (Mike) sold his white GMT to me. I got it around january and have used it a lot since that!
I really love this watch!!!
Now, I still haven't posted proper pictures of it.. So, here we go:
And a picture of my current display collection:
Now, I have a video presentation planned as well. (In the style of my Longine video if anyone remember) But before I do that I have to get it serviced. Change the click spring and a general service.
Plans (dreams) for the great white:
Original oyster style bracelet
Omega Mesh
Hirsch Leonardro brown strap on deployant

Re: Omega Seamaster GMT Great White
Thanks Mike, I'm very pleased with the watch!
The collection is still quite humble.. Hopefully that will change over time.. And when I start working and stop studying..
But hey, 4 mechanical swiss watches before I have turned 22... I can't complain!

Love it, and I am surprised by how much I seen them around the forums. One of my favorite Omegas.

The rectangular is a Armani dress watch. I could sell it if you really like it. I don't wear it much anymore. Got box and papers.polaco23 wrote:the great white and the rest look fantastic!

The vintage on the right is an Omega Suverän. Not very much info on it.
It's made somewhere around 1939-1943, It's believed to have been sold exclusively in Sweden and a percentage of the sales was to support the swedish military forces. But this information isn't confirmed as fas I know.

Re: Omega Seamaster GMT Great White
Nice, how do you approach them? Send them an email? To where? Can only find a contact form on their webpage.. I feel so helpless filling out those contact forms....
I was thinking:
I'm going to Switzerland this summer, wouldn't it be awesome to deliver the watch for it's service?

Re: Omega Seamaster GMT Great White
Nice, I might have to persuade my travel buddy into spending a few hours there.. Or just have him place me there and let him take a drive..el presidente wrote:You can drop them an email,but if you are going to switzerland stop by costumer service at the factory.Great and helpfull people working there.rousp wrote:Nice, how do you approach them?

The problem is that it's a bit rusted inside and it's not watertight at all.
So my watchmaker told me that I probably shouldn't wear it in humid weather.. So it's not very wearable...

Re: Omega Seamaster GMT Great White
This Omega is (in my opinion) one of the best ever created. So readable, functional, lumey, handsome, versatile, and rugged.
Congrats on getting a really fantastic watch.
