New Sea master

Greetings all -

Just bought a new Seamaster that I have been lusting after for 6 months. I considered a grey market, or used on Ebay. Just came back from a cruise to Nassau and decided to pay full price at AD Little Switzerland. They offered no discount but did throw in some diamond earrings (1/2 total carat) for my wife and no sales tax. I could have saved about $1500 on a grey market or excellent condition used, but concluded the the higher price was worth it with the full factory warranty. I also ordered a rubber strap on the Omega website. I am thrilled!

You’ll also really like the rubber strap. I have the same watch, also bought from an AD, with both the bracelet and rubber strap plus a bunch of Omega NATOs.

It’s an excellent summer boat watch.

Congrats, definitely a great choice and you'll have the memories of the cruise to go with it!

Congrats -- I love mine, though I wear it on rubber or NATO's exclusively these days. Still think it's one of the best white dials around.
