Is the Omega Seamaster Diver 300M (Ref. 210.30.42.20.03.001) worth it?

WatchMerit currently rates the Ref. 210.30.42.20.03.001 a Hold. Stable; Bond association supports demand floor.

Any offer between $7,728 and $9,072 is considered a fair price — that's a ±8% band around the median. Below that range is under-market; above it is overpriced.

Full-set examples (box, papers, unpolished) sit near the middle of that range. Watch out for missing papers or heavy polishing — expect a 5–15% discount from median in those cases. International grey-market listings can look cheaper but almost always add GST, import duty and freight once landed.

Every live listing on WatchMerit is auto-labelled Under Market, Fair Price or Overpriced against this band, so you never have to guess.

Stable; Bond association supports demand floor. Collector demand is currently Medium — Healthy dealer supply; mild premium movement only.

Buying new from an authorised dealer typically involves a wait of about 1 months (Widely available at Omega ADs). For most buyers, the secondary market is the realistic route.

Historical secondary-market prices for the Ref. 210.30.42.20.03.001 have appreciated approximately 15.1% from the earliest tracked year to today, indexed from public market data, auction results and Australian dealer trade sheets.
