On bracelet the tentative MSRP was $4850. They may actually have lowered the price a bit.

Noticed that too. That would be nice. Can anyone explain the process of what to expect for when it will hit AD's and eventually grey market? Are the discounts more determined by supply and demand than anything else?

The most recent thing I heard (from Rob at Topper Jewelers) was that the release date has been pushed back to October.

Omega needs to get their shit together. Their competition has released their big Baselworld releases and Omega might be 7 months after the fact. Terrible, just terrible.

You’re right, but I suspect this range will sell so hard that it’ll just about sustain the company.

Bumping this.

I see now on US site that the release is slated for August (some varieties say July...) and that MSRP is $4750. Did this go up while nobody was watching. I feel like it was a few hundred less when they first released it...

Hmmm I thought it was closer to £3000 than £3500 . As the old version is under £3000

Really? And you’ve seen the new stainless pepsi GMT in stores? Expectations of immediate gratification after Basel are a quite unrealistic.

Link?

I can't find anything on the Omega website. It's so poorly run.

I assume there is a good reason it is hard to find. If it was easily accessible, most people who don't know about it (probably a large amount of their customer base doesn't follow Baselworld) would not buy the currently available version, which they still need to sell. But for those of us who are enthusiasts, we can track it down and find it but only with a little effort.

It's been released and people can get it. You just need to pay a premium if you're not a VIP.

I can understand limited and complicated pieces taking months to be released but the SMPc is a mass produced simple 3 hand watch. It shouldn't take until October to release.

Also confirming they are showing up, at least one east coast AD has them (blue, black, and bi-metal), and one west coast boutique has gotten a first few. Hey, I have a deposit down, where's mine ? 😁

To be clear, are you referring to SMPc's or Tudor's?

The new Seamaster 300 Divers (with the wave dial) is what I was referring to

Excited to see some more "in the flesh" photos. Saw the ones on WUS as well, the black looks great!
