I'm looking for my first Omega. I had tried on the current OP Chronograph in titanium with blue bezel and dial at the AD—an awesome watch! Now the latest Master Co-axial version caught my eye. Love the blue and Sedna combo. Very elegant. Supposedly available the end of this month. Here it is on the more affordable leather strap. The two tone bracelet is a bit pricey and beyond my budget. Yeah, the hard core can scoff at gold on a dive watch. And who would try to read a tiny chronograph subdial underwater? And why do dive watches even come with leather straps? So we're talking desk diver here. On the other hand, Sedna is used on the Ploprof. Who would not call this beast a genuine tool watch? So, maybe at least ditch the leather strap for mesh! I shopped how this would look. What do you think?
Unique. Not sure if the ploprof mesh bracelet is a direct swap. Also odds are if you go with the watch on leather then buy the mesh the cost will most likely be more then the watch on bracelet. You will not be able to buy the watch head alone without the leather.
Buy a WatchGecko mesh for it, they are rather inexpensive but good quality, so if you decide in the end you don't like the look the damage is minimal. I have one on my Globemaster (check out some of my other posts).
@Longbow Your Globemaster looks good with mesh. I was looking at this from http://www.ofrei.com/page1280.html The OP Chrono is 22 mm. Pricey, but OEM and compared to the cost of the watch, not outrageous.
Well I doubt that I would be outraged at the OEM price, but maybe a bit miffed if I didn't like it in the end. The WatchGecko version only costs $62.90. Good luck whichever way you go.
