SRPE37 perfect budget alternative to Omega SM300 White dial!

I totally love the Omega SM300 in White dial but if anyone wants a budget alternative, this SRPE37 really rocks!

I will post thoughts and pix. I own an Omega Seamaster with a black face that is approximately ten years old. And many Seikos.

I own the SRPE37 and have owned several of the white dial Omega watches. I like the Seiko better for the money and I might like it better taking the money out of it. Only issue is that in certain light conditions at certain angles the dial can briefly be hard to read. No issue though as a slight movement of the wrist and all is good.

Mine should arrive Friday. Sometimes I feel silly about my four and five figure price tag watches. I get a lot of enjoyment out of the three figured watches.

If Seiko keeps churning out these beautiful textured dials, I can forgive the minor chapter ring and bezel misalignment and just gaze at these beauties. I am in.

Omega what? Who? Haha.

Have had mine for a couple of weeks now and I love it! Wears great and the dial is a thing of beauty.

By the time I got serious about it, they were hard to obtain. This scratches the itch for less.
