I'm guessing not really. The SMPc with the smooth dial are easy to find and there probably 100's of 1,000's out there. It's no more of a collectible than the generation before the SMPc.

Wasn't really a fan of ther 6 o'clock date at first, but now it's better that way for symmetry.
Wave dial is iconic. Welcome back. Thought these did have a display back? Unless something changed, the ones at Baselworld did. As a bigger guy, glad they went from a 40 to 42mm. All in all, the two tone on a bracelet is a stunner. The gray wave dial on rubber is great too. The Sedna gold on the black is mesmerizing. I think the reception is going to be better than the initial reviews. |

Its a good looking watch and at a great price
Im suprised this hasn’t had any attention on here, i know its a rolex/tudor forum but given how many omega owners there is on here i would have thought this update to the seamaster would have got more attention. I for one think this is a great looking watch, the wave dial is a stunner and the rubber looks quality. Never been a fan of omega bracelets but i am lookimg forward to seeing this watch in person |

I'm interested to see one in real life as well. Glad that they left Basel because if we can't see a watch released in a year until the next year presentation it's pointless.

I like almost everything about this new one better... except that the waves don't appear under the writing on the dial. I think that this would have made it a 10/10 update.

I still feel the first version was the best of the planet ocean. I am thinking now that 45.5mm was a bit larger although it is easy to read... from across the room. |

Well, REAL enamel is crushed colored glass that is rebelled on a surface.
Enamel paint is just paint yes. But it also comes in many grades- the Home Depot rattle cans are the low end and the paints that used to be used on cars is the other end. |

No idea just answering the “enamel” question.

I’m looking forward to someone posting a good review. I’m very interested in the new SMP 300 blue with rubber strap. Overall I think Omega’s new updates on this model are positive.

This is a solid release. I never liked the 300m partly due to the scalloped bezel and the skeleton hands but this watch is an absolute knockout. I’m honestly struggling to pick holes in it. I read the omega forums and all I see is people moaning about a half millimeter increase in the height and width. The waves look great and I love the ceramic. Sapphire caseback, micro adjustable clasp and date at 6 are really nice features. Dare I say this ‘could’ be a genuine Submariner contender? The features would certainly suggest so.
Can’t wait to try one. It fits really well in between the PO39.5 and 43.5 and provides a proper versatile every day watch. The dial would also go really well with my dressier AT teak dial. A note on the enamel, I watched a video saying the bezel is lazer etched then filled with enamel in a similar way to the liquid metal technique. |

Confirming that my boutique informed me that the blue versions are trickling I.
Black could be within the next few weeks. Very excited.
