    Had a few Tags and always wanted an Omega seamaster chronograph but until now it was always out of my price range. But it was worth the wait the watch is beautiful and I can't stop looking at it 20160714_173929.jpg

    So what about a complete review of your purchase experience and the watch itself?

    Well I did a lot of pondering before I bought the watch. As I couldn't make my mind up with the blue and black dial. And I wanted to make sure it was the right choice. I went to quite a few jewelers I even thought about getting the standard seamaster ceramic but after trying them all on I knew it had to be the chronograph.As I just like a busy dial and the black chronograph just looked right I did try on the 44m version but I have got skinny wrist and it looked to big on my wrist I have only had it for a couple of weeks and the build quality and time keeping for an automatic is excellent. I am so pleased with my purchase and with omega giving a 4 year warranty gives you a bit of piece of mind.That I'm sure I won't need with this well made watch.Pictures does not give this watch justice.

    An excellent choice; my first Omega was the previous iteration and it still gets quite a bit of wrist time. Enjoy!

    How does the comparison to TAG feel. Have a few TAG watches, last was a 35th anniversary Monaco but nothing since.

    My tags were aquaracer automatics they were both good watches but I always wanted an Omega but they was out of my price range the omega time keeping is a lot better and the bracelet feels better made

    My tags were aquaracer models in which my latest one is in the jewelers as we speak getting the crown and tube replaced as it stripped the thred.The tags are good but not impressed with the crown failing just after 2 years old.But regarding the Omega I have always wanted one,but they have been out my price range I haven't had the watch long but the build quality is good,and the time keeping for an automatic is really good so I'm happy at the moment.

    Congrats on your new purchase. I'm not normally a chrono fan, but had one of these on my wrist last week as I passed through duty free at Gatwick. I nearly pulled the trigger too!!

    Surprisingly it's a chunkier watch than first meats they eye, it's nearly double the thickness of my SMPc.

    Wear in good health!

    I did try and
    I did try on the standard seamaster which was nice but I like a busy dial and I knewknew if i bought the standard seamaster I would be wishing I had bought the chronograph.
