Do that ...
Dr.,
It's worth a trip to the AD / Boutique.
If you grab a plane, quickly, there is a cocktail to present the Master line this evening here in São Paulo.
I cannot attend (still with my painful surgery recovery) and you can have a drink on me.
Just to motivate you, two more fresh pictures without the "Torquemada SS Bracelet":
The "engine" is great, for an industrial movement: Amagnetic, two barrels, good finish. Co-Axial, of course.
Cheers,
Nilo
Arrived! Seamaster 300 Master on the wrist
Team, Could not wait. Persuaded my wife to drive me to grab it. Initial feelings: Gorgeous watch, with a very modern movement and, bonus, with s Liquid Metal bezel. Bracelet, very nice but with a huge bling factor (polished center links). Already got a ni...
Congratulation, Nilo! :)
I had the chance to see this one recently. I really liked what I saw! :) The one I saw, here together with two older sisters welcoming yours. Best Blomman ...
The one on the right side ...
Sings to me. The left side (no politics), I had one eons ago, and ... Feels too fragile for my taste. Back to the present times, the SM 300 Master, shows how Omege is playing nice on the renditions game. Similar but with an industrial top movement, nice c...
You had one Lollipop and let it go?! Oh, please, please...
Don't tell our British friend.... As for the watch - I have given myself a Omega embargo until I find the right Speedmaster for me... Best Blomman
I don't think it had a lollipop ...
You know, those rusty pieces are never 100% correct except that on the exceptional rare cases where the previous owner passed away exactly on the day that he got from the A. D. And the piece was locked on a time capsule for the next 50-60 years. Cheers, N...
Congratulations!
That is one very nicely done Seamaster, staying true enough to its heritage.
I don't consider those watches ...
Richard, A simple rendition (SM Master and Geophysic). They are inspired on the old design but they modernize the movement, dial etc. They bring to us a true XXI century technology "dressed" with the original design. Cheers, Nilo
I will do ...
I need to borrow the vintage (I love to call those "rusty") one to compare. Cheers, Nilo
Do that ...

Congrats, Nilo!
Your new Seamaster looks great on a strap! Looking forward to reading more of your impressions. Cheers and here´s wishing you a Speedy (pun intended ;-)) recovery. Alex
A great pick-up Nilo.
Congrats! Your pics. show the true character of the piece. I tried both the SS and the Ti and I would probably also pick the SS. Looking forward to your review. cheers fernando
Dear Nilo: Congrats on your new SM 300! I know as per your previous...
... posts that you were eagerly waiting its arrival. I´m happy for you that you have already got it, and I´m sure it will help to better support these days of recovery from your recent surgery. The watch looks magnificent, and I agree with you that these ...
Your analysis ...
Abel, About the Vintage x Modern is perfect and summarizes my line of reasoning. Several poins makes me to stay away from vintages as much I can resist: Lack of a true certification authority that assures that the buyer is getting the real thing. Being a ...
Thank you Nilo and Nicolas! My pleasure to share my point of view, and surely an ...
... interesting issue to discuss at HoMe some day! Cordial regards, Abel.
Most guys keep their hospital discharge bracelets . . .
. . . as souvenirs. Only Hombre finds a way to celebrate in style! :-)
My souvenir, in this particular case ...
Is a scar and a hole on my bank account (to be filled by my health plan). Cheers, Nilo
Congrats, Nilo! I was just looking at this watch yesterday evening...
My local AD recently got one in stock. The dial is a home run -- perfect. It's so strange that Omega decided to go with the polished bracelet links rather than brushed -- seems like one of those decisions that one lone person at the top made even though e...
Yes yes and yes again
Congratulation. You have a winner on your wrist. Modern rendition but great execution. the leather strap yesssss. Wear it in good health. Bill PS get well soon!
Thanks Bill ...
Yes, it's a great watch. About the surgery, I went to the Dr. today and I'm good to go. Full trust on Monday. Cheers, Nilo
Wow - looks amazing......
It's always trick when a brand hommages one of their iconic timepieces. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. This one works, and works quite well for me. Truly a marriage of the best parts of the original functionality and "look" with the best tec...
This and the JLC Geophysic ...
Are the "Watches of 2014", IMHO. I don't consider each a reedition but more a homage and a well done ones. Omega is a company to pay attention for next year. Cheers, Nilo
Congratulations, Nilo, on your new acquisition.
I just picked mine up on the 6th. It's still in the box. LOL I, too, was thinking of replacing the bracelet but am not sure what to go with. Was thinking of a nato, then leather, then croc or maybe rubber. Gotta get it outta the box and wear it soon. :-) ...
Rubber seems to be a great choice but ...
The 21mm lug space is a limitation. I have some rubber straps here and I may try to shave it from 22 to 21mm. Or Wait until Omega releases one for it. The existing Omega 21mm (HB-SIA, as an example) may not fit (and cost "the ransom of a King"). So far, I...
Great addition Nilo!...
And way to go with the strap over the too polished bracelet :-)) Best, -- Richard.
