That’s a harsh comparison. Overall quality and accuracy it’s on par with any modern Rolex iv owned

One thing i noticed is the rubber is quiet thin - was expecting it to be chunkier and wider - costs £235 for it with the buckle if you wanted to buy it in addition to the SS bracelet

Got the black earlier this week and love it. I wish the bezel numbers were a fraction smaller though.
Still keep putting this back on though!!

I tried the black dial/black rubber model on at my AD last week and I was surprised at how nicely it fit on the wrist. I've got small-ish wrists (between 6.5-6.75 inches), and I thought the 42mm case would be too large, but it was fine. I think the rubber helped it stay comfortable. I'm not a fan of the SM SMP bracelet, so I would go rubber.

Might keep an eye out for one on the grey market, if I don't find a 2201.50 PO first...

By then omega would have 12 new limited edition models lol

They don’t have any stock though. All they do is get your money then barter with eu dealers to get one.

Looks great, I can’t wait try it on especially with rubber strap.
I can wear a Sub comfortably on my 6.5” wrist so it’ll be interesting to try this 42mm SM.
I felt the Pelagos was slightly too bulky for me though.

It sits flatter and lower than a sub from what i remember

Tbh it felt great on - seen it a few times now

Just waiting for my local AD to give me the call and see what discount I get offered :)

Have to admit. After seeing the new models in person, I prefer the previous version.
