First Omega!!!

So far I’m very impressed! I’ve loved the SMP for awhile, but it wasn’t until the new iteration (2018) that I knew it was definitely time to move ahead and purchase. The strap is a much welcomed feature. So comfortable.

Nice example of a modern classic. Omega made the best divers

I'm a fan of the new white dial also, maybe I feel my 2nd Omega for the collection coming on!

I was having a hard time deciding between the white and black dial. I like the looks of the white slightly more, but thought it would appear larger on my not-so-large wrist.

Congratulations!

I never thought the day would come that I would own more Omega than any other watch, but, my 4th Omega will arrive tomorrow.

After getting my first Omega just about two years ago, I've fallen in love with the brand. The comfort, fit, style and quality are superb.

Which 3 Omega do you have? I’m hoping we’ll see pics of your 4th tomorrow!

Beauty.

Dare I say more refined and proportionally designed than a modern sub date.

I’d say a fair comment. My only minor gripe would be the lack of taper on the bracelet.

Having said that, i just say that every time I see a two tone blue dial SM300 I’m stopped in my tracks. I can’t say the same for the blue TT sub.

I got rid of my sub c and got this. I much Prefer the proportions of the SMP. The lugs are perfection and on the rubber strap wears the same (or smaller) than the sub.

That is exactly why I went with rubber.

That looks great! Have been buying Rolex and considering a Sub as a new diver, but this one has me thinking Omega. Are these discounted at AD?

I don’t think they discount in the UK stores but offer 0% finance.
