Incoming Seamaster 300 Bronze Gold

Last weekend while on a getaway to Texas, I managed to visit Bernard Watch Co. in person and take a look at this preowned Omega - I have had my eye on one of these for a quite a while. Did the deal, and FedEx just delivered.

Flawless process, wonderful customer service, and the packing and shipping was fantastic. The watch is 99% like-new, basically unworn as far as I can tell. Bernard Watch even set the time to US Eastern time and it was still running when I unpacked it. (Love that!). I can totally endorse Bernard Watch Co. Great to work with.

A few pics below of the unboxing and the watch:



Outer box is a bit smudged, oh well.




The watch shifted a little inside the box during shipment, but it was fully protected.

Nope. Proprietary alloy will slowly patina to a color that’s just a little darker than the raw metal. At the end of the day it’s a 9k gold alloy as much as it is a bronze. If you look at how old, vintage 9k gold will kind of darken and patina a little, that’s the same idea.
