How exciting. Please post plenty of pic!

 

Central - from the general online reaction it feels to me as though the SS has been more popular and I think it looks great, the hands in particular, but there was something a touch more modern about the CS and as the face is plainer it’s slightly dressier which is more what I was after. I can’t pretend it’s a big reason but I like that it’s thinner than the SS too as both models are a little on the thick side for dress watches. All just personal preference though!

 

Did you manage to pick it up today ?

 

Welcome to the joyous world of the wonderful Omega Seamaster clover crown! When you're finally sure you could not be more frustrated with it, try graduating to a decagonal Constellation crown and completely lose all faith in humanity.

 

It arrived today, here are some pictures including a couple of angles I had been curious about before. The face of the watch is white, but it’s texture gives it a sort of champagne colour sheen in certain lights, it’s fantastic. Delighted I changed my mind (back) and Omega finally delivered - all is forgiven!

 

Beautiful! How thick is it? Seems kinda thick in the pictures.

 

11.2mm and with the domed casing any thicker and it would start to move away from being a dress watch I think. The SS is 11.65mm and I haven’t seen any live pics yet on here maybe they have been slower off the production line.

 

My SS collection is slightly delayed. Should get tomorrow

 

Collected my small seconds

Fantastic service from my local OB again

Pic spam as some have requested it.

They did a lovely job on the dial, pearlescent almost, speckled, love the applied markers. Omega logo is quite visible as you can see in the photos. Brushing on the sides is lovely and like their museum pieces, as are the extended lugs.

The box is incredible, I’ll take a pic soon. It’s got a magnetic element to it to hold the watch in place inside. So no recess like usual. The magnetic is strong too. Strange to have in a watch box but clearly a sign on this watches anti magnetic movement.

Watch sits high on my wrist due to me have fairly large / flat topped wrists and the leather pin buckle strap is very very stiff. Therefore on my wrist it sits up.

To counteract I’m wearing it ultra tight in the pics to get it to contour, otherwise it sits up off the wrist.

Nice vintage pin buckle like the 1957 broadarrow trilogy piece.

Wind on this master chronometer movement is anti clockwise to advance time. Crown is decent but not as good a wind as some of the speedmasters / CKs

Thrilled.

 

Congratulations! Watch looks amazing. Thanks for the write up and photos. Can’t wait until i get the call that mine has arrived. Enjoy in good health!

 

Beautiful!

 

Thank you

Omega logo etched into crystal is definitely bigger and creates a lovely omega shadow in sunlight

 

Wow very elegant!

 

Beautiful!

 

Not sure how long it’ll last but the center-seconds model is currently available on the Omega website. Someone please buy them out so I’m not tempted.

 

Wny more collections this week? I’m still waiting patiently for my AD to call

 

Waiting for the call as well
