New Seamaster 300!
Its been almost a year since I moved to Korea as an expat and I wanted to pick up something special for myself. I went to the Shinsegae mall in Seoul with my mind set on picking up a diver (I have been looking for one since I sold my 5513 Sub last year), specifically a blue dial one. I was hoping the Tudor boutique would have the Pelagos FXD...but it wasn't to be. I did put myself on a list for when they get their next shipment (the associate said hopefully in Jan).
I really was tempted by the blue dial black bays...but they just didnt click with me. Then I walked into the Omega boutique...and they had this in the display case. They had just gotten it in a few days prior and was the only one they had. I almost bought one a few years ago when they were first released but never followed through. I tried it on and ended up buying it on the spot. Love the sandwich dial. And the reduced lettering makes the dial look much cleaner. I am not sure about discounts given on Omegas these days...I was able to get about 8.5% off, which I thought was pretty good, especially given that I barely speak Korean! Now I am on the hunt for the perfect replacement strap. While the bracelet is one of the more comfortable ones Ive tried, I am not a fan of metal bracelets. Anyhow, very happy with this pick up and hope to enjoy it for years to come! |

Yes sir. How was the customer service at that branch? The young lady who worked there was not very friendly last time I visited.

Cool Omega!
I have seen photos of that watch on a Tropic strap in Navy, and it looked perfect to me |

The person I dealt with was a young guy. He was super nice and enthusiastic. There was a young woman there as well but she was helping someone else.

Congrats, great watch!
I love Korea, we go at least once a year (in normal times). I’m jealous that you live there. Enjoy the beautiful country and the beautiful watch! |

Congratulations! Any reason you didn't get an omega strap while you were at the boutique?
