New to Omega!
Got a question guys! I'm in the market for an Omega, and I can purchase them through the exchange on base. But, I don't have a whole lot of knowledge about them. I do know that I don't want a quartz. So, is the model 2254.50.00, Sea Master Professional 300M date chronometer an automatic? I can get this watch for $1719.00 USD! Is that a good price? Please let me know!R/Woody

My 116520...
Reading more about the watch I'm wearing..making me think of just keeping it a little longer..prices on all SS Daytonas are on the upward trend..
