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 va...

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
