Don’t know if it’s sacrilege but I’m contemplating a Forstner 1450 on it, or an alligator print rubber strap. Not quite getting on with the mesh. The watch itself is lovely though. The level of jewel-like finishing is a massive step up from my original SMP for the early 2000s.

I received this piece earlier this week and absolutely love it. However, on the lollipop seconds hand it looks like the short end almost points upwards at a slight angle. Not sure if this is perceived effect of the domed crystal or whether it is bent in reality and if that’s intentional. For anyone who also has this piece, could you confirm if this is the case with your piece too?

You mean the smaller lolipop counterweight?
Mine looks straight:

Yes. I’m struggling to get a good photo but it almost looks like mine is pointing slightly up, and I can’t unsee it

Not a great pic but uhh yea I think I agree with you. That looks very bent upwards.

Your phone might not have this option, but I used "Pro" mode on my phone, set it to manual focus at the closest distance, and then just moved my camera around until the shot I wanted was in focus. Easier than fighting autofocus on phone cameras.

Unfortunately an old iPhone so the best shot I can get. Thanks for the comparator. The angles the photos are taken at are slightly different so I’m hoping there’s still a chance this is just distortion due to parallax. But I’ll probably have to take it to a boutique to check out.

I wonder how the waitlist is doing these days. Saw one available at an AD in Greece this week.

I wish that were the case in the USA. Placed an order a few days ago and was told 18-24 months.

I asked to be put on the list at my local OB like 2 days after release and still haven't heard anything. At this point I've given up on the JB 60th and EW 321. It's cool though.

Dropped by the St. Louis OB this past week picking up my speedmaster and they have one in the display box. Was offered it cash and carry on the spot. Passed on it as I have an original 2531.80, was just too similar, plus like the patina mine is developing. The guilloche dial is a thing of beauty the new seamasters are missing with the laser cut waves IMO. But also have a Great White so a little more partial to the dial myself.

I got mine. When I was put on the wait list, I knew the sales guy and General manager. Between now and then they got a new GM and my sales guy told me that he runs waitlists like Rolex by favoring frequent customers. When I called the Boutique back in November of 2022 he told me that at that time I was third. When I talked to him in 2023 they only sold two that year but this year’s picking up for them.

I got the call June 27th, but I was out of the country and obviously missed my chance for that one but I followed up with them last week and my sales guy got back at me today and mentioned that he had one for me.

Congrats. I almost pulled the trigger on one the beginning of this month. The OB in NY where I was visiting had one, I was on the fence & glad I waited. I just picked up the new 321 (late 23 model) but grey though but for less than a new one would be. That was my ultimate grail.

I had the chance to pick up one as my OB sales person called me to offer me the watch. I'm not a fan of the Seamasters in general so I ended up passing. It sucks for me cause at the moment my only interest is on the Snoopy and the 321. They want you to spend more money just to be considered for those.

Beautiful choices either way, I personally gave up on getting the watch last year, but I’m happy I finally got the chance. I just needed to have it because of the wave dial 2.0 for sentimental reasons, my dad got me into Omega and eventually gave me his seamaster but like DOJAM mentions, they started to gravitate to customers spending more money. This is why it took them a while to finally reach me.

FWIW, emailed my OB (europe) and asked if could see/buy one in a few months and they said it'd be waiting for me, so they are available now.
