Time to call it out - the OP watch dial comes from the Manhattan bezel school of design - not radical, not refreshingly different, just wrong!
If you saw this watch on OF for sale at, say, $5,500 in stunning mint condition that was sold by an AD in July 2018, which means you still have an Omega warranty for another two years, would you be interested? I doubt it. It's a nice watch but unless the style really sings to you I'd be looking for a lot better discount than 40%. I've been in these situations before, the siren song of a huge discount which still leaves you underwater if you ever want to sell it on the open market. Easy pass for me.
this picture along with the one of the Santos above confirms my opinion. I really don’t like that Omega!
with that lovely watch, why are you even considering the Omega? 😉

I had the ss version for a while. Very chunky. And as much as I was trying, the faux Romans eventually made me sell the watch. Whole other painful story there
Thank you all friends for candid opinions. I appreciate them all. I think its prudent to skip the watch and don't fall into discount greed trap...
If at all I need to spend, Grand Seiko has just launched a beauty at 38.5x10.2 spring drive manual wind watch that will cost me similar amount with greater pleasure..
