if they were going for the 2-tone look, why not have moonshine gold for the middle bracelet links? this seems like somethings amiss and incomplete. The gold accents on the bracelet would have completed the look.

I dig it

Not for me. I was all in on the Tokyo Speedmasters but this one, not so much. I hope we get a Paris Speedmaster.

Agree completely.

It’s a pretty watch. Looks like a very 1990s piece. Too high at MSRP even with the brushed gold bezel and improved bracelet. Can’t help but think how cooler it would look on the Milanese bracelet.

Gets a thumbs up from me.

Cru Jones · 28 July 2023, 06:20 AM

Really well done, IMHO.

Cassidyanne · 28 July 2023, 11:33 PM

Fugly….. looks like it’s a pre-owned piece from the 70s or 80s.

IR201 · 29 July 2023, 01:09 AM

I'm not into the texture of the bezel

Roddypeepa · 31 July 2023, 05:22 AM

Not for me. Camp as Christmas.

Spoke with the Omega boutique director and put my name down on the interest list. It’s one one of the best looking seamaster watches I’ve seen in a long time

Gladiat0r · 14 August 2023, 02:17 PM

I understand why it’s not universally loved, but I actually really really like it. It’s 2 tone without the overdone bracelet etc. The gold bezel with the rough texture and white wave dial, IMO, are an excellent combo. Can probably put this on a white rubber strap too and have fun with it.

Trogster · 14 August 2023, 02:24 PM

What's the prize for second place?

DoricSpiker · 14 August 2023, 08:07 PM

It’s definitely growing on me! Paris is only a 2 hour train ride for me so you never know. The dial looks fantastic.

It is no longer a Paris boutique exclusive. Check with your local boutique.

For me this bezel looks like it was tinkered in a garage with the cheapest paint.
