Well, it took me a while to get over the last fiasco of a purchase (http://omegaforums.net/threads/omg-nos.17803/#post-192391), but I finally did and went back to my trusty AD and got myself the new Seamaster 300 Master. The dial and bezel are beautiful but are hard to capture with all the reflections bouncing off the crystal. The bracelet is quite nice and I would say on par with the Rolex's Submariner bracelet. I just find the CPL links at odds with the vintage look that Omega created with the fauxtina so I swapped it out for a rubber strap from RIOS. Some pics
I prefer the bracelet to be honest, but its all in the eye of the beholder obviously...although more importantly its in the eye of the owner!
I've been lusting over one of these for a few months, it's the first watch I've seen in a while with a bracelet I like. However I think this is one of those watches that suits most types of strap. Congratulations mate.
I'm trying really hard to not like this new Seamaster, but every time I see new wrist shots of it... urge... rising... Congrats!
Another pic with the Rios strap. I love the broad arrow hour hand. Omega should've kept this design element on their Speedies. By the way, anyone have a 3594.50 that they want to find a new home for?
Boy.....that's one BEAUTiFUL looking watch. Definitely on my next to buy list. Beautiful strap makes the watch IMHO.
