    After seeing photos of the the new SM 300 my attention in the last week shifted from the Aqua Terra 15,000 Gauss to the SM 300. I called up the local Boutique and after confirming that they had one, I prepared myself for full retail but instant gratification. Before I went down for the Boutique experience which honestly I wasn't sure if I wanted, I called some local ADs. They all said it would be next year before they would see one, but could order it for me. This what I expected as I figured the Boutiques would get priority for a while. But one of the ADs called me back and said that after speaking to the Omega Rep one was actually in transit to the AD. I was a bit skeptical but hopeful that I might just get lucky. Last Friday they called to say it had arrived and I went right down to have a look. I immediately felt upon seeing it that it was what I was looking for. Technically and feature wise I knew it was what I wanted, but the visual impression the watch made on me had me sold. I was able to get a 10% discount which I know isn't a that deep, but considering that it is a new model and not widely available in ADs yet I am quite happy with the price. To me it is a perfect blend of a classic visual appearance with latest technical features. I think its size is perfect and looks modern while still paying respectful homage to the early models. image1.JPG

    I saw a blue one yesterday at the boutique. It was also in titanium. I have to say I almost bought. I love the recessed lumes. A very nice watch. Regards. Bill

    Well done on that, discount to boot :) :thumbsup:

    I tried on the Ti and the TT steel and rose over the weekend, very nice fit and finish and it is by far my favourite modern Omega. Unfortunately no all steel to try out but I was quite taken with the blue titanium version. They´ve really hit the nail on the head with this one, although I must add that the TT although looking great didn´t `feel` right on the wrist. But maybe that´s because I have a strong affinity with the original 1950´s version .

    They had a Blue/Ti one too here. I didn't like it as much though the Ti is cool. I actually like the heft of steel though.

    I tried both on. To me the steel felt right immediately. The lighter Ti was cool from a material aspect but SS is classic.
