    After having been on "The list" for almost 2 years now for an Explorer II I finally gave up and got the white dial Seamaster. I have been eyeing it for months now but held off as it would effectively fill the same space I intended the Explorer to. I have to say that I couldn't be happier. My Planet Ocean is a bright color and slightly heavy, and large for a daily piece. My Submariner is slightly too small in my opinion. But the Seamaster is absolutely the perfect size and weight for a daily wear. I couldnt be happier with how this watch looks and fits. I am tempted to call the AD to take me off the list entirely. Aside from a shipping delay from Fedex due to the current storms the experience was also everything you hope for when spending this level of money. To anyone on the fence for this watch...get it. You wont regret it. IMG_0344.JPG

    Congratulations - that’s a great watch. I’m getting more and more tempted!

    Will you order the rubber strap too?

    Nice choice....many would say it is a better watch than the Explorer.

    I dont think so. I prefer an actual bracelet. I tried it on the Rubber strap and it is quite comfortable, but just not the look or feel I prefer. Apparently the rubber strap is extremely hard to get on its own right now, so if you want both you should buy on the rubber and order the metal bracelet separately just fyi if you decide to get one

    Technically it is better in many ways from what I understand. I am honestly tempted to not even get the explorer even if finally offered it. I like the idea of this watch being half the cost, and if anything ever happens to it, its easily replaced. Unlike the explorer which I would no doubt worry about wearing far more

    Ha!! Sadly there is, but I am definitely not "Worthy" enough to be at the top of it. I got offered 3 different black dial Explorer's this year but no Polar. I am honestly just disgusted with Rolex at this point. I dont like feeling "Blessed" to spend that amount of money. Buying an Omega is a much more gratifying experience. Someone actually treating you well for spending 4 thousand dollars with them

    Looks smart. Omega got my cash too for the same reason but an explorer 1. Shame my wrist is too tiny for these bigger 42mm cases.

    I still find difficult to understand that business model. In any event, your Omega is more attractive than the Explore II.

    I love this story. Its like the guy who had a crush on a high maintenance blonde and then married a smart and beautiful brunette. (No offense meant to either)

    Congratulations! Looks amazing. I’m curious, what’s your wrist size? It looks like a perfect fit.
