Omega Seamaster 300 green face , delays
Any one actually getting these watches l ordered day of release in March and paid in full. Today I chased again and was told , Omega delays due to colour issues with bezel. May be 1st quarter 2023 .
Any one else hear this, or are the watches actually being released and I’m being fobbed off buy omega ? Thanks . |

I did not hear about delays though. I thought I was just less of a priority, which is also very likely.

I've seen it available for purchase in Korea and Singapore.
Sucks that you have to wait so long. Where are you located? |

Interesting. What kind of color issues with the bezel? If they need to fix this at the manufacturing level, it could be awhile.

I put in a request with my AD back in June and got the call 2 weeks ago. I wanted it on the band and am waiting for that to pick it up. I’m very concerned now about the bezel issue now.

Not heard of this - and the boutiques in London have had watches in (I’ve handled both on strap and bracelet).
If you really want one, someone is selling on OF in the U.K. |

That is interesting. Haven't observed any issues with mine, which was ordered online and came in 2 days. I've also spoken to my AD, who's been getting a steady supply of them (3 alone last week) and with an OB that offered me one on bracelet a few weeks ago. So it doesn't seem like there is a delay?

Haven't heard about any issues with the bezel...Mine took about 8-10 weeks to get it. I paid a full-price "down payment" in late July at the Dallas OB, and received it around late September / early Oct. I ordered it on the bracelet, and also w/ the green rubber deployment strap, which is what I have it on, now. Love it - it's a great look!

I don’t see any color problems with mine. I haven’t heard of this issue either. It’s worth the wait. I thought the SMP300 was too large at 42mm and didn’t buy one, but was tempted with the black. When I saw the green, I jumped. I’ve never looked back.

Rubber B makes some very cool straps specific for the Seamaster 300M. You could also likely get an Omega rubber strap from a dealer at a discount. Nato straps are also nice.

Looks like both bracelet and rubber straps are available online. Just got the call from OB and was offered the bracelet version. I asked for a rubber strap as well and they gave it to me free of charge.

I’m wearing my white dial on the rubber with the deployant clasp. It’s divine.

I got notified they are in stock online this afternoon. I'm holding off buying one for now, but good luck if they still have inventory today

I inquired about one in October and the Boutique at South Coast Plaza called me 3 weeks later and I bought it. I have a very small/ modest history with them and was surprised. Paid retail obviously, but they threw in a separate green strap and the deployant buckle which I wear it on now. I don't think the salesman was lying to me either but when I asked, he said they've only been getting about one per month and have no idea why Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I tried one on at Oden Watches & Jewelry in Jackson Hole, WY yesterday. It was for sale and unspoken for. Really cool watch. I’ve already got a Seamaster so not super interesting to me, but they did an awesome job with the green color.

Bought a Forstner bracelet for mine as the OEM steel bracelet is not to my liking but it’s mainly living on the green rubber strap.
