I have no idea why people keep wanting Omega to make a cheaper Submariner. They also do, its called a Planet Ocean. If you want similar there is Pelagos and many others that are indistinguishable from the Submariner. |

Not everything's about imitating Rolex..... I've collected Seamasters for a couple decades now and have always wanted the proper no date SMP300 with no date. The NTTD was the best option vs the 43mm titanium one..... So I purchased the NTTD immediately. But because of my activities I've always wanted a simple no date SMP300.... This is shaping up to be something exciting in my eyes.

i love the no date look on the seamaster that Daniel Craig was spotted with. this would slot in nicely next to my NTTD and Bond 60th!

What everyone hopes is to have smaller footprint :D
39 - 40mm. Nice comeback of the original wave pattern (like in the 60th edition) |

Even though I own the NTTD, I do like the wave pattern on the dial. The helium valve does not bother me in the least. I can take or leave the date function provided it remains at 6 o'clock. |

Current watch is great. I have been tempted on many occasions to pull the trigger. However, I can’t get over the bezel actions when comparing it to my Submariner. Also, I prefer to get the bracelet, but it’s so hideous. I really like the OEM rubber strap though.

^^^^^THIS^^^^^. Quality of any Omega beats any Tudor, any day of the week. It's not even a fair comparison. And the Omega 8000 series movements for the most part beat almost every Rolex. And I say this as a Rolex fanboy.

P.S. I would also choose a Seamaster over a Tudor any day of the week. |

I think Omega have already given us the alternate bracelet, its the mesh bracelet which is controversial but also unique to SMP DNA which atm is very important to Omega. SMP is their top seller, it has its own ID and is mostly unchanged for past 30 years. That's very hard to achieve and Omega is making every effort to ensure the consistency without mucking the DNA too much. I truly believe what DC wore is either the new SMP or the prologue to it. I think Omega is going back to its original thin wave pattern (Brosnan) with new aluminum bezel which Omega says is harder and carrier deep colours. It will be available in other colours and mesh bracelet will be an additional option. Time will tell if i am right but I think I am close. |

I don't think one needs to be an insider to know that Omega is not going back to 40mm. Omegas wear smaller than other watches. I can see maybe 41mm maybe on the cards but 40 is very unlikely.
The PO on the other hand is another story.. |
