Omega Seamaster

Here is another photo of a dive watch that I took in the London Science Museum. It is an Omega Seamaster.

I like this watch. I wonder how expensive it was when it was first purchased and whether you can still buy a watch like this?

Yes you can still buy a watch like this; actually there also is newer model which is even better. Depending on which movement the watch has (quartz or mechanical) it will cost in the region of 2000 pounds!

Yes I thought the watch would be expensive. I somehow seem to like expensive things though have learned in recent times to be more frugal ;_0

I'm also trying to be more frugal, it's so easy to get carried away :(
