Project 300

I'll make a comment as an owner of a WatchCo that while the watch is nice, AFAIK they do not test for WP and there is no warranty for this. If anyone plans on using a watchco for diving, then make sure to have it tested first.

Considering that you know what you are getting from Bill, the ability to customize and the warranty, I think it represents an excellent value. My 2c

Hope these helps:

Hey these are nice do you have any side views you could offer as well?

+1 I'd like to see Bill make this one as top notch as he can with a fully CNC'd case top grade movement etc.... and price it accordingly. I think I'm in the minority on this outlook however.


For what it's worth here's the latest from Watchco's sight on the Omega Seamaster 300 price:

Stock: ome0005
Omega Men's Seamaster 300m Diver Date Automatic Wristwatch, New Old Stock
Circa: 1960s

Calibre #: Automatic Omega 562
Movement ref: 23039958
Working Condition: Yes

Condition of dial: MINT, New Old Stock
Notes: 100% original Omega
PRICE: $AU3500

$3,500 AU $ at .855 exchange = $2,992.50 US Dollars

Hey Bill if you can make a top notch CNC'd case, insert, and top grade movement (2892) for $1,500-$1,600 I'm in.

If you want a watch that you can't really depend upon in the water any more, that would be difficult to have repaired and serviced, and costs almost three times as much, then by all means, go right ahead.

For the price announced, I would most certainly prefer a Watcho SM300. And it is something that I already can see and buy. Consider this, Mr. Yao.

Love those pictures. I'd be willing to pay a bit more for a 1mm thinner case + 2892 movement.

top movement for me-I dont mind the 1k price or even a bit more-I can always sell this most awesome milsub :)

[Artonthewrist]

Hi Bill

A suggestion: please curve the date window cut out like they appeared in the 1960s. The modern day Watchcos are unauthentic is this regard. That its, the Watchcos they have an incorrect square window date cut out, which is not period-correct. Here's an example of the original vs the incorrect watcho date window cut out.

I see Precista have just re-run a few more of their version- the PRS 14.
