Quick question regarding the thickness of the watch.......
Will it comfortably fit under the cuff of a long sleeve dress shirt? |

Great write up op. I've wanted a Seamaster (blue) since the Brosnan era. With the way availability is on other models, I've been looking into this more. This thread may not be safe for my wallet

Ha! I know that feeling. The older we get, the faster time passes. Why not keep track of the time looking at something you love? In other words: do it! :)

Got the rubber strap a couple days ago. It’s lovely, fits well and very comfortable.
Some quick shots: |

No problem at all. You have a quality problem. Assuming you haven’t pulled the trigger already, try both on, one will eventually sing to you more than the other. With both being readily available, don’t rush to make a decision.

Took a couple quick shots today, whilst wearing it at a kids theme park. I am still in love with this watch. Definitely a solid all rounder.

Congratulations! It wears extremely well and the wrist shots attest to that. Plus there a ton of strap options!

Great write up, and love the follow up! I recently purchased the white dial version, and had the same thing happen where I bought it on the bracelet and they included the strap. I've had it for just over a week and have kept it on the bracelet so far mainly because it's way more comfortable than I thought it would be!
It looks like you've had yours on rubber for a while; what are your thoughts on the difference in how it wears and overall comfort level compared to the bracelet? PFA |

@CollinVon
i have both the bracelet and the rubber and its so hard to choose which is more comfortable. the bracelet gets some criticism for not being tapered and for having a large clasp but i dont feel that its uncomfortable at all, and i love the quick easy adjustment capability whilst still on the wrist. anytime a watch is coming on or off a wrist is when there is potential for drops, damage etc...so its nice to put it on once and then easily adjust as you go thru the day the rubber is supple where it needs to be and reinforced and rigid where it needs to be. it is first class and i think it speaks a lot to the design and dna of this watch that Omega took the time to engineer and develop this strap. There are people who buy and ONLY get the rubber, so its needs to be of a certain quality and design aesthetic. you cant buy a submariner on a factory rubber strap, so that speaks to the intent of Omega on this, they took the time to make this strap quality and not an after thought i have purchased an aftermarket rubber strap from a reputable brand that wasnt cheap, and while the quality on that strap is top notch and i think worth every penny that they charge...the factory strap is just that much better. worth the premium, and it is a PREMIUM$$$ if i wear the bracelet for a few weeks i miss the light weight and for me the careless nature of the rubber while working at my desk or hanging my arm out the window of a car, the rubber is soft and wont damage my cars or be damaged itself from my desk, keyboard, other chores but then i wear the rubber a few weeks and i miss the luxurious and premium look and feel that i think comes with the bracelet. I really dont understand why it gets knocked for being uncomfrotable, there is enough articulation in the links by its design architecture that it very comfrotably wraps the wrist and in my opinion never feels bulky or blocky i believe i have read every thread there is to read about rubber vs bracelet on this new seamaster and my comments here fit the trend of being non commital, both are excellent. at the end of the day the only mistake someone can make while purchasing this newest seamaster is not purchasing on the bracelet. the rubber can be added for quite a bit less than the bracelet down the road, and like i said earlier, i went aftermarket first and that honestly would have been more than adequate, but the factory rubber is a cut above and im stubborn |

I completely agree about the bracelet and the quick adjustment clasp. I have found myself using it multiples throughout each day as my wrist swells and shrinks at different times. I have relatively flat wrists so the lack of taper and the clasp size doesn't bother me at all. I was originally only interested in the watch on the rubber, but the SA at Omega convinced me, just as you said, that the bracelet would be a much higher price if I ever wanted it down the road. Thankfully, he was able to include the rubber strap with the purchase, so it was definitely a case of best of both worlds. I suppose the big takeaway is that I am grateful that I seem to have made the right choice by having both, and I should invest in some quality tools to be able to make the switch back and forth between the rubber and bracelet as I see fit. Historically, I do love quality rubber straps for my divers, but I am enjoying this bracelet far more than I thought I would. Thanks again for such a great response. Cheers! |

Effin GORGEOUS. This is the one I want as well. And I've been saying it since the watch came out and since I was able to inspect it a few times (my best friend owns one): The Submariner has ZERO, NADA, ZILCH on this Omega. Sorry. And to think you can get it at an AD immediately and with a discount is just another reason why it's better than a Rolex.
Good luck and wear it in good health. |
