I had a weak moment.....

My son’s Planet Ocean stopped yesterday so I took it in to the AD to send in for service today. My wife was with me and bought an ankle bracelet. When she tried it on she said, “it fits so I have to buy it”. I tried on this watch and repeated the same thing to her and she said, “get it!”. So I did!

Nice! I really like the new Seamasters, I hope Omega sticks with the current design.

Usually Rolex reduces 1mm to correct a design but Omega increased 1mm to correct the designs. These new 42mm Seamasters are rocking! It's no brainer and easy choice to buy these!

At first I was a big fan of the grey dial...but that white dial has really won me over.

Congrats!

Really pops, suit you well with the white dial and your skin.

Well your weak moment led to a great decision. Best looking SMP, in my humble opinion.

So far I really like the rubber. All my other watches are bracelets and I haven’t had much luck with rubber but I tried this on and it felt great so I got it.

I try not to put this watch on too much either. It tickles at my appetite every time as well. Congrats on a great watch.
