    Incoming.... my new MilSub..!











    Limited edition of 150 Omega Seamaster watches made exclusively for the Royal Navy Clearance Divers in 2008 as a private purchase for members of the regiment.

    Spent a happy hour talking to the ex-RN diver this afternoon before a deal was struck and we shook hands.

    Omega... it's the future!

    :D

    A long way short of Rolex MilSub values :wink: but great potential for the future!!

    I have not been aware of any "Regimental" Omegas coming up for sale on the open market, although I imagine a number have changed hands privately. I paid a "significant" premium above the retail price of the equivalent civilian model, and I certainly didn't begrudge the former RN diver profit on what he paid. The tales he shared with me were worth paying for alone!!

    :D

    Is this model any different from the civilian model specs wise?

    Very nice piece, not sure how much you paid for that but a couple of years ago i was fortunate to be present at an SBS boxing night and fund raising event in Poole, they had commissioned a limited edition of Seamasters, i think thats wha they were, not sure how many but they had the SBS frog symbol emblazened on them. The auction piece was watch number 007 and i remember our boss put up 20K and the bidding still went on. Not sure if any of those have come about yet.
