2018 Seamaster 300 incoming

Picked up a new grey dial seamaster from WOS in Cardiff yesterday. I loved the new release at Baselworld but wasn’t sure of the fit on my wrist as it had gone up to just over 42 mmm. The fit was good and as others have noted probably wears better on a smaller wrist than my blackbay. The glide adjustment bracelet is also great. So a quick wrist shot before it went back into the very nice wooden box and then goes under the Christmas tree. Overall, I am very pleased and I think this watch is superb value for money.

Congratulations mate!
It certainly fits great on small wrists.
It fits better than Tudor Pelagos as well.

congrats = I bought the black one and am loving it

I have 3 tudors with the black bay case and this omega wears at least as well if not with the feel of being a little smaller on the wrist - have to say as much as I love my tudor GMT this omega is a nicer finished watch

a pelagos wears a lot bigger - I bought the blue one and loved it but I could not get on with the size of it and so flipped it


a blue grey striped nato would look awesome on that watch and omega web site is a good place to look and see what the watch would look like on one as you can "put" each strap on your watch head virtually to see how it would look - I couldn't resist and ordered one - not cheap at £120 but it is the official gear and you'll only want one


you can buy the blue rubber strap for £220 as I asked at the omega boutique today

on the omega site you can find the test results for your actual watch which is fun


long wait till xmas but congrats on picking up a lovely watch

Thanks, I ordered the rubber strap this morning from my AD, as you say £220 and a 4-6 week wait.

Congrats! I am very close to getting one myself. I have been swayed by the many positive reviews. It looks truely great bang for the buck. But I am undecided whether to go for the black, the blue or this silver dial which is also very nice.

I went with the black nato with white edges for alternate use - from omega web site - pricey at £120 but a very high quality nato and very nicely presented and I wanted the strap that was sold by the manufacturer although much cheaper straps are very nearly as good in quality

they do a 5 stripe blue/grey nato at the same price which would look great on your watch

The value for the money is great. When I wore the watch I could feel the high quality of the watch.
