That kind of sucks that there's no rubber option for the watch if you want to switch off the bracelet but don't want a NATO.

I am not a fan either. I can't put my finger on it, but its like there are too many textures going on. On a small surface area like a watch, too many textures can feel cluttered really quick.

It doesn't have an instantaneous wow factor for me like the Planet Ocean had when it was released. I don't know how much I like it....

I kinda dig it. The throwback "Americas Cup" design hommage, the Skipper Blake connection, the old school 90's-esque vibe irrationally reminds me of older Rolex ads in the national geographic mags. My only issue is that the main draw (the bezel) does not look as dynamic as the stock pics make it out to be. Looks more flat with the ingraining a bit lost in the metal however it could be just that one pic. Curious to see more pics IRL

Wow, another look for the SeaMaster - nice, interesting piece, how's the size? Is it 42mm, 13mm thickness?

Agreed - I don’t mind a NATO but would be a last preference for me. A shame as I quite liked it when I tried it on but that lack of change up would probably stop me from purchasing.

Not my cup of tea. I prefer the ceramic bezel

You are exactly right. I owned that watch. I may buy this one as well

Little bland. Prefer the current white dial with black ceramic bezel.

Thanks. Curious is it bad photography because the photos looks so wash out in the review that it actually makes the watch looks less visually appealing. Need to see it for myself irl.
