The SM looks great on the tan leather strap. I tried it on with it and it sets it off beautifully.
I need to stop reading this thread or else there will be a seamaster on the way at some point....
They must have been given the railmaster straps. Did you get the mustard nato which went with the RM or the brown one for the SM?
The NATO i received was a mustard color.
Perhaps a swap of straps was made between a RM set and my SM set at a customer's request in order to make a sale?
A nice mix of classic and modern. Give the RM a go on a leather strap, it really changes the feel. I'll probably give the SM a go like that next.
Did anyone here buy theirs new?
I bought my Seamaster new from an Omega Boutique, full price. I knew it would likely be available for less on the secondary market, but I really like it and didn't mind paying more for it up front. I'll be buying a Railmaster at some point but likely on the secondary market.
In London, I don’t think so. I know the boutiques had 3 or so around Christmas time but they were all gobbled up....

I think all three watches are excellent, the level of detail that went into the reproduction is impressive.
I have wondered why the Speedmaster, in particular, wasn't more popular, given that this is really the only way to get anything close to a 2915 for a "reasonable" price. My thinking is it comes down to two issues, first I think some were turned off by the fake patina. Second, I think the lack of connection to the space program makes this one a little less desirable by some.
In any event, I am a fan. The closest I will ever get to being able to wear a 2915
Currently at Chrono24 there are 26 sets of the Trilogy. I was astonished. 26 out of 357 I think in total. Either a lot of flippers or really many consider them a fail boat as the thread suggests.
