...I went by Bachendorfs today to pick up a strap that they threw in with my latest Panerai purchase. Planned on running in and just running back out. Well when I ran out I had a second watch with me.

Got a very handsome discount on a watch that I have always liked so I figured what the heck, it is a fun watch that I will use as my beater. I used to own the white dial on a bracelet, this time I got the black dial on the rubber strap, the Seamaster GMT.

No pics yet, but I have always liked this watch.

I used to have the white dial, I have yet to see a white dial watch that I really really like, except for the VC overseas chrono.

I love the bezel on this one too. I just got it for what I will wear it for, a comfortable wearer that can take alot of the pool and work outside time this summer. I am very happy with this purchase for sure.

Thanks guys, not sure how much wrist time it will see, but I know I like it, so I made sure to get it. Did not buy this one with any intention to move it, just have a pool and beater watch. Very happy with it.

Some quick pics, I will try to capture this dial better real soon.

She looks GREAT Daren!! I have never owned a GMT before, but after hanging out too much with Mr. GMT Sam... well... I kinda want one.
Congrats bud!

SLRdude · 14 May 2006, 02:38 PM

Pool and beater watch???!!!????
That's what G-Shocks are made fore mate! Not Omegas. :-) (even though the Seamaster is more than up to the task)

JJ Irani · 14 May 2006, 03:41 PM

That's a beauty, Daren...congrats!!

The GMT-Seamaster looks good in black as well as white. Good value for money!!

mamas · 14 May 2006, 06:03 PM

i think that the omega GMT is one of the best value GMT dive watch out there for the $$$$
i used to own the white dial one a while ago but also flipped it..

Yes agree Mamas and Daren a very nice very underrated GMT watch.Great pictures Daren, the two tone bezel with the black dial and red T/Z hand works well.

Thanks Peter.

Not a big fan of Omega in general, but I like that one with the black face. Nice D!

15 May 2006, 11:46 PM

Daren, you do realize the number of straps you could get for the price of that Omega?????

Nice score. I guess we all need a 'beater' for working around the house.
