Great pic! But coming back to the topic of "obtainability" - is there any need of signing up for this one? My OB says nothing of this sort. Seems to me that this one is going to be an honest and easy to get. Am I missing anything?
I was told the same.
In fact, except for Snoopy and 321, everything else seems to be obtainable in reasonable time.

I was told a few months by my AD -- and, of course, "No discounts on this hard-to-get model."

Don't think it should be a big deal to grab one and looking forward to seeing some pix from new owners.

Yep, there’s a waiting list where I go to so in the first few months it might be a little difficult, but after a month or two I expect to be able to get one should I want to.

that’ll work for me, as I want to see some pics from owners first.

That's what I'm expecting: not being able to walk in to just anywhere and see it for a few months at least and then availability will pick up. As always, you'll be at the mercy of your AD (or OB, I suppose) as to whether they order them in and/or keep them in stock. In any case, should be able to order one in.

It’s attractive but the HEV and the date at six does it in for me. I wish Omega would come up with a non HEV version one day.

I won't be so sure about that. Aside from a couple of model I have seen pretty much everything at OB or AD, at least here in SF.

Right, so you can walk right in to your local OB in SF and see the new releases. That's great but quite unhelpful to those of us on the other side of the country where our nearest OB is over six hours away with an AD about half that distance. So again, I'm not counting on being able to just walk into just anywhere and see what I want. Unfortunately, I don't live in a large market. Perhaps I should have been more precise and made my statement personal.

I saw the green SM 300 today at the Omega boutique but to be honest it’s quite underwhelming. Not sure if anyone have it yet?

First batch that arrived at Warsaw Omega boutique in Poland is sold out but after initial hype they do not expect to be unavailable. I saw it in flesh and love it. Waiting for mine. Here in motion.

The closest AD ordered one for me to look at. No obligation to purchase. Said that would likely be the quickest and easiest way to get a look at one.

They really don't photograph well. In the video it looks way too busy. But I have the AT with the deck lines and it is the same thing. On close ups I don't like it but on the wrist and actual wear I Love it.

I have not seen this life yet so can't tell. I like the idea of it though

Cheaper than a Hulk
Best of all, you can actually buy one.

If you're getting it as a substitute for a Hulk...Don't. I have a Hulk, I also have other green dial watches. I didn't get the other green dial watches because I could not get a Hulk.

The logic of... Hey, it's green and a diver watch. you can't get a hulk so this is perfect.

No...If you want a Hulk this is not going to feel good after a minute or two.

I guess what I am saying, in my experience, whenever I got a watch (or anything) as a substitute for something else....it's never quite worked.

This is a very nice watch and a great technical and quality watch. If you like that, get it. If you like that it is close to, but not something else but attainable, then, IMO, Work a strategy to get what you want.

You are absolutely correct. Not only waves are "magnified" (you see them much stronger on photos than they actually are) but also green is not the one that you can see in reality, don't know why 😀.

100% agree - if you want something, wait for it, work for it, don't get a substitute - you will never feel fulfilled & happy.
And this SMP, as I wrote before, has nothing common with HULK apart from being same style of watch - different brand, different green ((dark. understated vs flashy green), different dial pattern (glossy Cr02 with waves vs sunbrushing) - everything (apart from "dive watch") is different.

Looks great. I'm on the waiting list at my local AD and hopefully won't be too much longer

My AD told me they received their first shipment yesterday which contained two Watches.
One on bracelet and and one on the rubber. They haven’t even received any extra straps yet. I got the bracelet and someone else bought it on the rubber only. Seems like they will filter in slowly over the summer.

Thanks for the info. I’ve got to pop into my AD on a different matter next week so hopefully I’ll get an update then. Hope you enjoy wearing yours
