At this point, not seeing a lot of reason why one would pick this over a Planet Ocean 39.5, which has the same movement but is a step up, and can be bought LNIB used for around $4K.
I was going to ask what the hell hes wearing, for a second I thought older AT, with the rio swim lane strap.
But it’s a two tone NATO, and no idea with the face yet. Probably the Rail like you said.
*edit, picture attached of the RM he’s wearing.
I still don’t understand why omega didn’t put an applied logo on this. I didn’t notice that it didn’t have it at first, but now it just sours it for me every time I look at it. And the way the bracelet connects to the Watch should have been implemented better in my opinion.
If the intention of the new shape of the helium valve is to up the watch' diver's credentials, how about ditching the scalloped bezel? That thing is downright impossible to turn when wet or when wearing gloves. Looks great though 😉

I disagree...the applied logo and markers were one of the few things I really liked about my 2254.50...one of the few things that made it more told and less bling. I still don't get the fascination of the "non-AC dial mod"🤨
I prefer the applied logo as well, and i used to be really hung up on that when considering the different seamaster models. However, nowadays, I find that the pronounced difference between applied and printed is really mostly only noticeable in pictures. Day to day life you can hardly tell. Just my opinion of course.
For me, the scalloped bezel was one of the pluses, granted I never tried turning it with wet gloves. The design is the flattest rotating bezel and is responsible for the wonderful low-profile case shape. Compare that to the towering coin-edge bezel of the other Seamasters past and present
