Congratulations!
I’m hoping my local AD can get one in soon for me to have look. Have a gut feeling that it’s going to be too big on my 6.5” wrist.

The nice thing about the end links is that they don't stick out from the case but instead hang down so it wears smaller. It will be more a matter of your personal preference.

Great color schemes. The grey dial has to be one of my favorites.

This watch is definitely a great alternative to SubC.
More dial/bezel combination and available with rubber strap.

6.4” wrist here and I think it fits just fine. I’m very cautious about watch sizing and the proportions of the new Seamaster are great. The short, curved lugs make the watch wear much smaller than a traditional 42mm.

Goes well sitting next to my 2220.80 and 2200.50.



That grey dial is amazing.

Looking into getting this watch. What are the dimensions compared to Ceramic Sub?

It is slightly bigger and thicker than Sub C. I wore the rubber strap model and it felt very comfortable on my 6.5” wrist.

The silver dial almost made me pull the wallet.... Great looking watch in person.

I just did a part ex deal with watchfinder for black dial on a bracelet - very excited and have to say a very reasonable deal with watchfinder both on price of a new in demand unworn model and on what they offered me for my speedmaster mark II

Congratulations!
IMO the new seamaster 300m is a lot desirable than a Speedy.

Get some photos up.

will do when I collect it later in the week - they have to check my part ex before they release the new one

I have tried the blue one on a bracelet at an omega boutique and loved it but full list price from them and no part ex and I did not want to add yet another watch to the collection

needed to wait for watchfinder to get one so I could sell on the mark II and get the omega at least at 10% off list price

I had a ceramic sub for 6 years and , heresy on here I know, but the new seamaster is a nicer watch imo and conspicuous value at one third the price of a sub c on the secondary market - when I bought my coke 16710 I just did not wear the sub c anymore so I sold it albeit at a nice profit which I know wont be the case with the omega but I have a lot less money in play than I did with the sub c in the collection which means I can diversify the collection

not insulting any sub c owners out there but I ultimately did not like the proportions of the maxi case - I do regret not doing a deal with my sub c for a Kermit 3 years ago but we all make mistakes
