Great everyday watch
Really surprised by the bracelets. It's as comfortable as a grand seiko on wrist. There is something about the planet ocean that the seamaster 300m just does not have. Having owned to many different divers from all brands I think Omega offers the best value to price ration. This piece has been dead on for 2 days and I don't really feel the weight and thickness as I thought I would. OMEGA really bridged the gap between its competition with their seamaster line.

The industry has changed
I feel that some brands have cheapened their base lines in order to cut costs and its apparent. Some brands have raised prices while the Rolex market continues to dominate and there is no supply at retail. Omega has really stepped into the quality and val...
Congratulations Ripper! 👏🏼
I think of this model the same as you. It is a very pleasurable, polyvalent and historically inspired design, but with modern great quality. What size did you get? It looks like the 39mm which I’ve been looking with increasing interest. My first gen. 2500...
I got the 43.5
39mm looks very small in person and doesn't have this movement with the jumping hour. I actually love the bezel on yours. If they made that matte finish ceramic for this it would be perfection!
You have strong wrists then ;)
It looks perfect. i have seen that some watch customizers can sand blast and mattify (excuse me if it is not well written) ceramic inserts. I have thought this in case I can buy a 116600 some day. Best. René
This wears really similar
It's 2mm thinner and lighter though. Overall the Omega wears better for me.
I have the 2500 and the Chrono 9300...
Does it bother you (do you notice) that it’s hard to tell the hour hand from the minute hand in the dark on the 2500? ...
It hasn’t happened to me
The lume is so bright that I can tell one from the other. Thanks for sharing your thoughts! René
