Well sometimes I feel like I want the black dial! It is hard to pick among all the color combos.

My SMP White Dial!

The bracelet is chunky and definitely adds weight to the watch, but it wears good. I prefer the oyster bracelet and taper that it has, but as others have said the 300m bracelet is still nice. The micro adjustment feature is super nice as well.

Having said that, I prefer this watch on the rubber strap. I just think the rubber goes perfectly with this watch and makes it sportier and more comfortable. JMO.

This helps with my decision, thanks. I too like the taper that oyster ss bracelets offer. I know if I got a bracelet for mine I’d like it enough, but much prefer the rubber.

I would just get both probably. They are not that much different in price. I got the bracelet and bought the rubber strap separate for $300, which is a lot for a strap but it is worth it imo.

Amazing watch with white dial! I’m seriously considering to get one but I read it has 50mm lug to lug and 42mm diameter and I’m wondering if it will be too large for my 17cm wrist.
What do you guys think ?

My wrist is 6.75”...I think that’s pretty close. Look at my pics to see how it wears, but to answer, no, I don’t think it’d be too large.

Congrats on your SMP. I was ready to write Omega off after buying and selling my first, a Seamaster 300mc. It just didn't work and was a dissapointment for me and not being a chrono fan the Speedy was never on my radar. Then I tried on and loved the Planet Ocean and a slightly older SMP Bond version, which I now own both and find the SMP bracelet very pleasing to look at as well. I do own some Rolex including Subs but they have nothing on Omegas now for me. I'm also looking more at Aqua Terras to possibly replace my Datejust and keep looking at another SMP white like yours. Anyway this is your incoming not my thread but just had to say I'm happy to rediscover the brand. Enjoy your new Beauty in good health!!...

I think the new SMPs are fabulous. I mean I put it up there with my sub. The dial colors and rubber straps are what I like. You get options. I would take a look at them again! Thank you!

Awesome! Interestingly, I am also considering that particular red/white/blue strap (and also the version of it with the white edges — I look forward to your pics

Yes, I will for sure. I'm also going to take a harder look at my Rolex. I've been getting turned off with my six digit ones since I bought a VCO and may make myself sell some. (I have a hard time letting go) but I'm very pleased with and will keep my 5 dgt. Sub and Gmt. Really liking the idea of adding a new white or black SMP. Again, Thanks and Enjoy.

Congrats! It truly is stunning in the white dial version. I picked mine up a few months back and went with the black dial/bracelet version. After i month i bought the strap from the Omega boutique on Bond Street(after being told by my own AD they were 'hard to acquire'!)and it has barely come off my wrist. Omega really smashed it with this one! I hope you enjoy it very much

Tried on the bracelet and rubber one today loved both, ended up buying it on the bracelet and ordered up the omega black rubber strap as well. AD reckons two weeks and she will have the rubber strap in.

Very happy with it, but my gosh the bracelet is chunky! I normally wear a 114060.
But the Omega bracelet I don’t know it just works completely transforms the watch.

Thanks again for putting up the pictures made me go and buy it and I love it

Congrats! Yes the bracelet is chunky and an 114060 was my daily wear before this so it is a big change, but you will get use to it in no time!

I love Barton straps. I’ve bought 10 since discovering them in December. So easy to switch.

Hey WristWatcher, did you receive your NATOs yet? And if so, could you post some pics of the blue, white and red NATO? :)
