I have the same watch on the black rubber strap and considering adding a nato. I quite look of this combo, thoughts?
Yes, yes, and yes!

Congrats, only reason I dont have one is because I cant decide on the color. They are all nice.

+100 this side.............. nearly want to make the "silly" decision to get white and grey.

I agree, I love my white dial, It’s relegated my submariner to its box!

That's hilarious! One vote for the white one....

Stopped by my local AD and this caught my eye. A generous discount and 20 minutes later it’s sized and leaving with me. Just wanted to share my enthusiasm.
Stay safe...

Just curious what constituents a generous discount right now? I’m looking at either this or the gray dial later this month (January) , but it seems to be a sellers market. I really don’t want to go gray market either.

If I offer my AD cash for 20% off list, will they laugh at me? 15%...10%?

I got 20% off mine in July in Barcelona if that’s any help, I didn’t even ask, they offered it without me saying anything.

I was able to get what turned out to be 17%. Post Christmas and year end quotas to meet, might have helped too...

Yeah, I went in to the AD after a very strict lockdown here in Spain and was pretty much the only customer, so I think they were more than happy to be selling watches again!

Ok. I’ll shoot for 20% and be satisfied with anything >15!
Yeah never be scared to ask for a discount ( unless in a Rolex AD where they will either laugh you out the store or try and get you went to a Psychiatric ward).

Y’all weren’t kidding, rubber strap is a game changer. Totally different watch...

Happy New Year!

Do you prefer the bracelet or the strap?

Both are great, but the rubber makes it feel like it’s not even there. Two totally different watches, depending if it’s on the bracelet or strap. I suggest owning both. Just my .02

So wait, you're telling me you walked into the store, and it was sitting there, and you bought it! Without begging the AD to put you on a mythical wait list?

One of the reasons I love Omega...oh and the white dial 300M, which is probably a better alternative (for me) than the polar ExpII.

Very nice, man! Happy New Year!

Crazy concept, huh?!? I could hold it, and even try it on. I didn’t have to buy another watch or alternative piece of jewelry to prove I was worthy.

It’s a beautiful piece and has been spot on for the last 5 days!

I’m loving mine too; and I love the rubber strap. I like the formality of the bracelet but much prefer the comfort of the rubber. And I hear changing from one to the other without help can be tricky!?
