Curious...

I had high hopes for this piece!

Price vs value and the black onyx dial has too much glare and looks like a shiny black dial .. I do have a black onyx dial rolex day date and a Laurent Ferrier and they scream luxury and uniqueness.. however GP looks normal .. [nt]

For sharing your thoughts and observations. I was interested in this piece because of the Rolex Onyx dial. It’s so sexy, for the lack of a better word. I was hoping the GP one would have the same type of quality of the Rolex one. Thanks again.

The hands look flat and thin and cheapen the overall look of the watch

At least based on the picture.

Tried comparing this offering to the Octo Finnisimo. That one doesn't have anything going on the dial either. This one at least has a proposition. [nt]

I much prefer the "normal" version with the hobnail dials. [nt]

Your photo convinces me more...

than the marketing photos. Thanks for the photo, Horology75!

Not convinced, either. [nt]

Thanks for posting ! Is there still a plastic sticker on the watch ? that makes the dial seem flat black instead of a glow/shine black ? [nt]

 
 By: Ron_W : September 1st, 2020-11:22

No plastic on the case [nt]

I think its a limited edition. Is there a 38mm version. And is it luminous.?

 
 By: geross : September 1st, 2020-22:08
Asking. And curious. 😊 Geross.

Yes it has a green lume . Will send lume shots once back home ... I don’t think they make it in a smaller version or size [nt]

 
 By: Horology75 : September 2nd, 2020-00:32

So you bought one. That's good. I'm happy with mine.

 
 By: geross : September 2nd, 2020-00:34
Although not black Onyx dial. Cheers. 🍻 Geross

Sorry for the confusion as I was referring to the Omega Seamaster Bond edition . [nt]

More for others. :-) [nt]

i kinda like this one

judging from the reactions here seems to be a miss, but im strangely considering it. the photos do make the markers look a bit tinny and cheap, not sure if thats just the glare from the picture. i wish more companies did more variations on dial material l...
