they are indeed very hot....
got a chance to see both at a recent Omega event in HK.
Liked both, but perhaps with a bit more preference for the petite second hand - it looks more elegant and "old school".
They are good re-edition from Omega.
Somehow the small second hand piece reminds me of the 2012 London Olympic edition.
Nicholas, I hope you get to secure one for yourself. They are really doing well.

Omega Seamaster 1948 Small or Central Seconds? My heart is still waving.
Among all the Omega novelties from this year, there is one or two which is / are pleasing me a lot: The re edition of the Seamaster 1948. I discussed it here: www.watchprosite.com I am impatient to see them landing here and there, and to see them ...
Difficult to decide...
Both have their charms for me. If there’s one criticism, I think Omega could have omitted all text below the 12 o‘cli position and left only Omega and Seamaster. But very good re-editions!
second that
Too much text has been a plague for too long! Imagine a Rolex with just the brand on the dial! That would be some change
Small seconds would be my choice
They are both very successul designs: case volume, lugs etc. But the central seconds has a major flaw: hour and minute hands are the wrong size. The historic model also suffered this but it is a deal breaker for me. The dial texture seems very interesting...
Well for me it has to be the central seconds.
I like the case shape and crowns on both watches which are very vintage Omega and the elongated indices but I generally prefer centre seconds. The only thing I don’t like is the length of the hour hand. It looks very short to me but maybe that’s the angle...
Small seconds..
Because of the hands. The ones on the central secs seem to be a tad short. Leaf hands also probably a bit more romantic than the all business dauphine hands although one might argue that it matches the indices better. It also gives you a sense of the move...
These are exactly my sentiments.
I normally prefer sweep seconds hand but in this case the hands on the small seconds model are much better. For this reason I prefer the small seconds version of this watch. M4

Central seconds for me. Here are some pics from that evening
I was going to post later but this is a good place to share too best regards ...
I like both,
But I would go small seconds. I don’t like how the hour markers extend past the minute track on the sweeping seconds. And I think they should both be 35mm. That would take away some of the chunkiness of the cases.
+1 on both counts
The boat and plane have nothing to do with the watch! Gloucester Meteor and Chris Craft...Strange bedfellows to an Omega that pays homage to the first Seamaster.
Both are very charming
but if i had to choose only one, it would be the small second. because the proportion of the overall dial & the length of the hour & minute hands are better than the central second version. the railway minute track is another thing that i like a lot i hop...
Nice but I prefer the older deville
They are nice but rather pricey. You can pickup a nice deville chronometer coaxial for almost half the price
Small seconds, for two . . .
. . . reasons. First and foremost, the hands of the sweep version aren't aesthetically proportioned - most seem to agree on this point. Second, the script and layout of the small seconds version more closely reflects the original references (like the 2576...
central second for me...
I think the case is thiner and the hands look a bit more sporty in my opinion. Lots of people are criticizing the length of the hour marker but I'm not shocked. I am on the waiting list but can't wait to try them on, I think it will be either love them or...
