    Good evening everyone
    I am seriously considering this as my second Omega purchase and would appreciate any comments you might have about this model. The only difference to the picture on the one I intend to buy is it has a black dial.
    Many thanks

    To be honest, I'm a speedmaster man. I suppose it depended on price, are you buying new or pre-owned?

    Going to buy new,
    Have looked at the Speedmaster range and they are really nice and I nearly pulled the trigger on a pre owned
    Apollo 11 Anniversary Edition, but as I bought my first Omega pre owned I thought I would buy new this time.

    I just purchased my 2500c 42 PO, and I love it! I have zero reservations about purchasing a pre-owned watch, as you can save a few $$ if you've done your homework.

    Well, there are plenty of Speedmaster models you could buy new. What's drawing you towards this Seamaster? I like its look, but maybe not the heft. Try one on for youself.
    Off topic, but what Aprilia model do you own?

    I like the watch but I do not like the seamaster professional bracelet. But always remember, you are wearing it and if you like it, that's all that matters.

    I really like that Seamaster chrono.. The size is a problem if you have small wrists.. Go try it on and then make your decision...

    They're a great watch, very solid and strong with an ETA 7750 base derived movement, its also one of a small number of chronographs with pushers that are fully waterproof and can be used underwater, nearly all chronographs including the Speedmaster line and most from other brands you can't operate the chronograph underwater without compromising water resistance.

    I own one of the last Generation 1 RSVR, absolutely awesome bike, the picture has a modified fairing and Renthal Bars, but I have put all the original bits back on so it is as it left the factory now.

    Great bike, with enough acceleration to scare the bejeesus out of me. I chose a Caponord due to wife friendly ergos and stay-out-of-jail performance. Odd - maybe it's just my computer, but I'd swear that bike looks like a Planet Ocean resting on a Walther PPK.
