Creamsicle Question

Hello!

I'll start by say hello to Omega forum members! I started my Omega journey with black dial 300m around 2019.. Then traded for Blue dial Planet Ocean 42mm.. and then traded my perfect blue dial PO for a Creamsickle today! 😁

But I have to say, I'm sooo freakin confused 😩. When I took this pic at my AD several years ago, I was under the impression the bezel color was like coral red or maybe blood orange as they say. And in 90% of Omega pics I see, it seems like it's coral red color as well



But what I received today in normal indoor light is pumpkin orange bezel insert color. I guess for me, really for me the only reason I fell in love with this watch is my perceived "coral red" bezel color (besides the highly legible white dial.)


I honestly was so shocked when I opened the box that I thought It was a mistake lol. My GF told me the colors make her want to 🤮 basically (she was veryyy disappointed in me for trading the blue dial PO which she loved). I spent the last 6hrs of today trying to figure out how I made such a big mistake.

I obsess over details typically. I've bought and sold well over 100 divers on ebay for the past 2 decades. And I've never had this big of a watch blunder. I'm floored with trying to understand why Omega uses blood red orange bezel pics (or I like to say coral red lol) when in reality it's pumpkin red?

I guess I'm just here to make sense of it. And yes, I do understand it isss called a Creamsickle for a reason 😄. This was suppose to be an amazing day for me but turned into disappointment. Thankfully, I have a really good TD and will have the option to send it back. I guess my big question is - did the bezel color change ever so slightly with generations or is this the real color?

Thank you, and apologies for this sounding like a rant. For what it's worth I LOVED my other Seamasters and plan to buy a heritage when they finally add a datewheel..! 😆

the first pic I posted was a mistake. This is the pictured I took at my AD when I bought my 300m. I DID NOT BUY THIS ONE THO. And it's quite easy to see how it can be mistaken for having red color bezel insert IMO.



This is one of the pics I drooled over for years basically lol. I totally talked myself into absolutely loving the red bezel insert color with white dial. And this was my Dealer's pic for what it's worth too:



So to sum it all up, as confusing as my thread might read lol...I basically wrongly assumed the Creamsickle had a coral red bezel for years and was in complete disbelief earlier when I learned it was in fact pumpkin color. 😵‍💫
