·Still awaiting news from my AD about getting my hands on the black no date. Who else has been able to snag one thus far? Any thoughts on the rubber. Ordering on the mesh and having the rubber as well
Possible new 300m spotted on Daniel Craig

·Were you able to try the short mesh?
It should make a big difference if your wrist is smaller than 18cm/7”.
Then again it might just be an expensive activity if the watch just isn’t for you anymore.

·So I got my new "Daniel Craig" Seamaster yesterday. While it is basically a black Bond 60th (which I also have) I like it. Here are some pics for comparison. I bought a regular rubber strap and I have an extra "Bond" type bracelet which I might try. I bought it with the rubber strap and folding clasp - I have the Milanese bracelet with the Bond 60th and I can't stand it, so I skipped ordering it with this one.

·Thanks for posting pics - I've been hoping to see some, particularly with the black rubber strap. Post more if you have them! Great collection.

·Mine arrived today. I'm not a big mesh person, so I went with the rubber strap and also ordered a Forstner contemporary flat link bracelet, which I think will be excellent. This is exactly the Seamaster I wanted Omega to make... (although I would certainly welcome a new version of the 2254.50). Should be a total strap monster and has a great "tool watch" look and feel...

·The old (original style) waves are really cool. Of all the features they could bring back, that's a pretty neat one.

I remember when they got rid of the waves for a plain dail and was very polarizing, around the same time the first ceramic bezels were being released. The waves were brought back shortly thereafter and have stayed ever since so think it was a New Coke moment for Omega.

I really hope Omega takes the interest in the retro inspired classic waves options and incorporates them on the next generation SMP models. I imagine they won't look exactly the same, but to me that wave pattern is the definitive iconic part of the SMP and the current gen ceramic models don't quite nail it, for me.
The black no date model is my favourite SMP in generations.

·And here it is with the Forstner contemporary flat link bracelet (and their new adjustable clasp). Until Omega offers a similar flat link bracelet for the SMP 300M (similar to the Heritage 300, which I have and love, but is 21mm lug width), this will be how I wear it. Super happy with it.

·I don't normally like the Seamaster professional on this type of flat link but my gosh that looks good

·Took a fresh look at my pics from the OB when it was released and I gotta say the Gray one is really it ... definitely in the consideration set for next year.
Also, FWIW, the mesh fits great on me, just gotta get the right size which, for my 6.5" wrist, is the small. I don't understand the complaints ... these are really no different from any Omega deployant clasp strap, ie rubber or leather.

·I understand the complaints. I wrist watch is as close and personal you can get with a piece of steel. Watches are a habit, you get used to wearing a specific watch over many years and suddely you change to a diffrent strap or bracelet. No wonder the wrists say no. Besides the mesh looks too thick and clumsy, that probably adds to the persived discomfort.

·It’s funny because my local AD hasn’t gotten the black one in, but they did get the Gold/titanium one. That one looks extremely gorgeous IMHO

·I gave up on the mesh bracelet when I rel
Agree, though the white dial variant comes closest I think, partly because it manages the trick of appearing solid white at times and then revealing the more subtle wave pattern.
But these new ones definitely get the waves right. I'd buy it on the rubber though. Had the NTTD in briefly and did not Bond with the mesh.

😉 I saw what you did there!
