Is that blue to gray the only difference between the civie vs military (besides the caseback)?

If so, what's the chance that Omega decided to sell a civie model after seeing the buzz about the military one, as opposed to this being a pre-planned roleout?

The military model is still pretty awesome. This civie one feels different.

Seems to be, unless I've missed something. The blue stands out a bit too much for my personal tastes, but I'd still wait to see it in person.

I think it is not so much the colour difference which is giving the buzz about the military version. If the colours were swapped, people would still be hankering for the military version!

Looks okay, but I could do with a lot less writing on the dial

Everything about this piece is perfect to me, except possibly the thickness, but I do definitely think it's great that it's automatic. Will have to see how it sits on the wrist to know whether the thickness is actually an issue or just fodder for more internet moaning.

it is only a GMT feature if you set the chronograph running at exactly the right time and leave it running constantly. Not very practical

Ha, well, I've used this feature on my GSotM a handful of times now 😬 To your point, you do have to start it at midnight or noon, but it works pretty slick for flights and, at least for me, it's not an imposition to do it on travel days since I'm always wearing my watch and always looking for reasons to mess with it.

On the flip side I've yet to time anything with it ... but I'm only a month in.

Yup, pretty sure I'm a weirdo now.

I read about this one and thought I'd love it, but the subdial distance from center looks super awkward, like the moonswatch. 2 sub-dial Speedmasters look odd to me anyway, but the spacing here really ruins it for me.

Colours shouldn't work together but they do. Agree the hesitation is the thickness. Will see how it sits on the wrist.

Was able to try one on earlier at the OB, lighter than it looks due to the bracelet design.

I thought it was nicer on the wrist than on pictures.
