Considering the seamaster 300 diver green on rubber strap. How is it?

Considering purchasing this watch.

Do you recommend it?
How does it compare to Rolex in terms of feel and build quality?
Is it comfortable?

Do you think there will be a waitlist if I go through the boutique?

Great watch and one I have owned several times. I always buy on the bracelet and add the strap as it is the most economical way to do it and it gives you so many options. Several of our Trusted Sellers have this watch slightly pre-owned for about 1k off. A boutique will not discount and they may give you a NATO strap if you are lucky. No reservations on the watch, very cool and a good wear.

I had the white dial. Quality and comfort are top notch. Wears terrific on the wrist and stays nice and planted. My only issue with it is I couldn't deal with the skeleton hands. If you are good with the hands I can't think of any other negative.

One word of caution depending on your wrist size. It is a 42mm that wears like a 42mm, so if you are used to 40mm watches it will seem significantly larger IMO.

I think the green is a special watch. The color is muted in low light but pops in brighter light making it a stealthy colorway. Build quality is exceptional yet some still don't appreciate the older style bracelet; I have no issue with the bracelet and find it very comfortable. I would highly recommend buying it on steel bracelet and adding the rubber strap at purchase. You should also look into the mesh strap which is a total winner imho. I liked my green so much I also bought the summer blue edition which is spectacular. Good luck.....

Agree with a previous comment on the skeleton hands. I wear reading glasses and if I don’t have them on I find it hard to read (blue dial)
If you can stretch to it buy it on the bracelet then buy the genuine deployant strap and clasp, I preferred it and found it easier to use than the standard rubber strap with the traditional buckle. I put the rubber strap on for summer wear and bracelet for winter. I personally found it very comfortable on both and the micro adjustment on the bracelet is great. Like already mentioned the dials pop in sunlight with the laser wave pattern on the dial.

The Seamaster 300 Diver in green on a rubber strap is an awesome choice! Highly recommend it. The build quality is excellent and feels on par with Rolex. It's super comfortable, especially with the rubber strap. There might be a short waitlist at the boutique, but it's worth checking out.

I have this one as well. I purchased it on the bracelet, and I later added the Omega green rubber strap as well. Currently wearing it on the rubber strap for summer. As others have noted, this one is a real chameleon! The forest green looks very dark in most light, but the green can really shine through in bright sunlight. The rubber strap is comfortable and very well made.

It's a great piece. I love the chameleon nature of the green dial color. It looks black in low light but a vibrant green in sunlight. The rubber strap is also a perfect match. I purchased a 2023 on the gray market for ~2k less the retail & just added the Milanese bracelet, which looks & wears incredibly.

Love mine. It's simply beautiful. Dare I say a little sharper looking than my Sub. Great tool watch and wears very comfortably.

I almost mistaken it for the black model at the AD.

That's one of the nice thing about the green, the way in changes shades in different lighting.

It’s the watch I wear more than any other. I really like the subdued olive colour more than the bright emerald some brands have gone with, and I really think it has the best dial of all the Omega divers as it just has the green and white whereas most have bits of red or orange which I can find jarring

For MY prefs I’d say you need a 7 inch for this one, I’ve owned like all of them and then decide it’s too large for me at 6.6. Not sure why I always fall for the trap, like a new dial is gonna make it shrink lol
