and as it's likely not a chrono, thickness may not be a worry. My 9300 titanium Seamaster PO fits nicely on rubber (though on small wrist)

 

Not sure what I am more excited about... All the Basel announcements or watching the 'for sale' sections explode as people clear house to buy new toys.

 

Must admit.... that is just fabulous!
If only that bezel was juuuuuuuuuuust a li'l bit narrower.... but still....
My first modern Seamaster!

 

... nice!!! except that clasp!

 

Clasp seems a scratch magnet. Besides, these days more creativity would be nice...no?

 

I would agree

 

Price is released, and the confirmation that there is a sensible option on case/bezel material. The only outstanding question for me.. what is the thickness?

 

Smaller than my Speedy! What is the case thickness!!??

I like this a lot....

 

Spot on Trev. I'm one of those... I don't like the new regulation in Formula One either
Yes, everything was better in the day...almost
But mostly I'm hard to please. And with this new "2913", Omega is walking a very fine line (for a SM300 purist like me). Yes, I could just leave it alone and don't buy it, but I'm just compelled to comment on it and that's what this forum also it about, right? One likes the mother and one likes the daughter. I like the mother
After seeing the latest pictures (those from Omega that is!) I would also take the daughter, even though she seems a bit larger and thicker than the mother
But I still don't think that a see-through or gold/platin/diamants enhancements belong on a toolwatch/diver. It needs to be simpel, purposeful og to the point. And yes, I know no one uses them as a diver anymore and it's a brand/image thing, where you have to show of that nice inhouse movement bla. bla. bla. ...
But tell me... where do Omega put the Seahorse now? Is the Hippocampus going to die once and for all ..?

 

i'm already setting the stage to put a deposit down. this gave me goosebumps like the DSotM last year -- but this one is attainable!

 

Definitely want one now.
