Yes that figures.
I guess you have to decide where you get one but I wouldn’t hold out for 20% for a very long time if ever. No dealer will be knocking £720 off these!!

So I want to get one of these. I'm just not sure which, black, blue/grey dial? I am a bit concerned the blue bezel is too blue. LOL. I don't want it to look purpleish in the light. Dark navy would be cool. Hard to tell via pix. I hope to see them in person at the Omega boutique tomorrow.

I’ve tried one on today
It fits OK on my 6.5” wrist although I had to use the tightest hole on the strap.

Just got this about 2 weeks ago and couldn’t be happier. Already have a black bezel Panerai and Batman, so the blue on blue was great. The bracelet for just $100 more is a great deal and I love the rubber and felt it was the right choice for my collection.

just done a deal with watchfinder for an unworn black on steel bracelet

very happy - reasonable discount off list when in Birmingham only the Omega boutique have them and they only sell at full list and only £500 loss on part exchange for a speedmaster mark II that I have had for 3 years and never wear

probably take a week or so to complete the formalities but I am looking forward to adding this one to the collection

Nice pick up. I’m surprised I’m not seeing more of these incoming.

Emson Haig in Lakeside, Essex had about 5-6 in stock. All in different combinations of colour dials/bezel and bracelet/strap. They even had tt models as well.

yep sure am

this was Rudell's in Birmingham and they sell some serious stuff - they had a full section in their shop of omega but no new seamasters - he had a wait list of several clients but had not had one in yet

watches of Switzerland do not have any in the window and even the omega boutique in Birmingham only have stainless on rubber in the window - only bracelet watches are two tone for more money


so still not easy to find in Brum as neither of those stores are very amenable to discounting

I was just in London and saw several versions of this watch at the OB on Bond Street. I haven’t checked out my local OB in Houston lately so no idea if they’ve received any.

Agree. Definitely does not look purple. Not in any way shape or form.

I think Swatch leaving Basel is a good thing... why introduce a watch a year before you can have it?
Wow, stunning with the touch of rose gold.

Tried on the gold / black, blue / gold and ss blue today. Not sure of the blue gold but the others are very nice and very comfortable to wear. Still waiting to see the grey but it’s a definitel buy. I would like to see the rose gold / black dial in the metal too, looks gorgeous in the pictures.

Just seen all 3 dials but not grey dial on strap yet. Black on rubber is very sharp.

I saw these in 2 different shops in Leeds today, I had a close up look at the black and the stunning blue. They are fabulous watches. As for the bracelet, it was wonderful.

Oh, I forgot, normally 42 mm would be too big for my wrist (imho) this wears smaller, I really liked it.
