The real issue here ....... Omega scaled the case to 38 mm
Mar 22, 2018,11:43 AM
hi everyone....
I am very excited about these... But I was also excited about the Alaska Project along with Chuck Maddox ...and once we saw it we both did not buy...( had them on order).
ok back to the new Seamasters...
The original was issued in 34 mm std size and they made a smaller amount in " Jumbo" 36 mm size.. still with 18 mm strap width.
The new issue is in 38 mm and I dont know the strap size... the devil is in the details here... need someone to post wrist shots.. This is something that needs to be held to really get to the bottom of it.... and how it sits on the wrist....
Good Hunting

That indeed is a beauty

Seems that the hour hand got the same size as the subsecond hand on other version, lol! π But idk, I prefer this one cz it's easy to differentiate between the minute and hour hand now as sometimes I got confused with mine while reading the time in a glanc...
Wait for it....

personally i like the subsecond subdial version. IMHO the hour hand seems too short on the other version - or is it only me ?! Best, mahesh.,
I agree, visually it seems too short....
By: Blansky : March 21st, 2018-14:31
But so does the minute hand, but I wonder if this is just an optical illusion due to the minute markers being so close to the center of the dial instead of back where we are used to them. Obviously just a design choice, but the dial seems sort of βoffβ. ...
I think these two watches are brilliant...

....my only complaint would be the engravings on the case back crystal. Does anyone know the process for purchasing these watches? Pre-order? Boutique only? Thanks.

I prefer to have a solid back rather than laser etched sapphire back that obstruct the view of the movement
Yeah!
By: JFT : March 21st, 2018-22:23
Love everything about it!
Oh no... They ruined it!
By: JFT : March 22nd, 2018-04:23
Was hoping to see the one like in the video and shared press picture then look what it is live in basel (credits from IG) They still can't stand to not ruin it! The only thing that need to be elongated is the hour hand not the second hand... Oh why....? H...
