Fantastic Watch.,
March 17, 2008 The Badger (Fort Worth, TX, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Omega Men's 2255.80.00 Seamaster 300M Chrono Diver Watch (Watch)
I purchased the 2255.80 directly from Amazon, not through a 3rd party. The watch is widely reviewed all over the net and is a masterpiece, so I'll comment only on the specific characteristic of purchasing directly from Amazon, something I debated at length (again, not through a third party, I bought directly from Amazon):
In a nutshell, the watch comes exactly as it would from an authorized dealer (AD) but does not come with the warranty card you'd get from an AD which allows the watch to be serviced by Omega should anything go wrong. Instead, you'd ship back to Amazon. I figured the probability of something going wrong with the watch within the first two years was incredibly low anyway, so it made sense to purchase from Amazon, where the savings was an order of magnitude greater than most ADs. The piece itself was flawless with all correct serial numbers and red dot intact on the caseback.
In the future I would again purchase a fine time piece from Amazon...Read more

Omega Seamaster Pro chronometer 2255.80.00 ROCKS!!,
May 20, 2008 Richard E. Bedi "bediknight" (Denver, CO USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Omega Men's 2255.80.00 Seamaster 300M Chrono Diver Watch (Watch)
Stays to within +1 second a day, even fully wound or near the 44-hour power reserve
limit (although I've seen it unwind fully in 48 to 50 hours, amazing). There is plenty
on the web concerning Omega watches, the Seamaster series, Omega caliber 1120, and the ETA
2892-A2 movement (with 23 jewels as modified by Omega). Not bad for a Swatch Group
watch! Don't let the Rolex's fool you; they're very good, but you get more bang for your buck
with Omega. The 'grey market' pricing through amazon is brilliant, and I have a local
jeweler who can service the watch as if it is under Omega warranty. The clasp does get
a bit scratched up, naturally, and the bezel is uniquely somewhat hard to turn,
but it works well when needed. This watch ROCKS!! and is a nice complement to a good quartz watch, like Seiko or Citizen.
