Omega Seamaster 300M Mid-Sz 2551.80.00 Wrist Watch

Question about Rolex

By Rogers - usenet poster


I want to get a Rolex Submariner or possibly sea dweller but I have
small wrists. I had a Omega Seamaster previously and the mid sized one
fit me well. Does Rolex make mid sized watches? If so, what are the
model numbers, etc.? Thanks for any info.!

Rolex Sub's in Stainless are big, thick, heavy, and look like common shit.

Just get another Seamaster, the 120m line are small and thin.
The 300m line looks more like the Rolex Sub, is Much nicer like
Ref# 2231.80 (blue wave face) is Titanium (40% lighter than Steal),
has a super comfortable band and puts the Rolex Sub to shame.

Here is a page with some of the "mid-size" Omega 300m's
that would suit your wrist size and tastes much better.

This site is famous for shitty (fast loading) pictures, so be sure
to look at # own site to see much better pictures.
You can save even more coin by getting a style in Quartz.
(just don't tell the Horology fanatics here I said that)

Rolex is the same mass produced quality level as Omega,
and frankly the Rolex Sub look like shit compared to Omega.

My advice, get a Rolex Sub Replica for $100.
it's such a common simple looking watch that the web is full of them.
Wear the Replica a few weeks, and if you still think it's better than
anything else out there, then go get the real McCoy.

thanks for the info.

i think i agree that Omega is a great value. at nearly half the cost of
a Rolex and equal the performance. also, i really like the look of the
2252.50 as seen here:

better than Rolex in terms of a modern classic look rather than a dated
look. and the fact that i can get it in a mid size which would fit my
wrist much better is a real plus. i think you're right, a Rolex would
look too big and gaudy on my wrist.

i don't think i would go for a quartz model. i just like automatics too
much...

He'll lose less money by buying a real, used Sub at a good price and
selling it again for the same price. (Or even more.)

Rolex does make a 'mid-size' Yacht-Master which falls right between the Date
and Datejust as far as case size.
Steel & gold or all gold with several face colors available.
