Reply With QuoteGreat watch, but goodness, do I hate that Silver dial! Glad you like it!
I found my self picking up a new seamster one that I had initially dismissed of hand with out trying it on my wrist. I initially had purchased a black seamster which I sold on the forum after a few weeks. I found the back beautiful but rather boring and same same as my other watches.
Fast forward 1/2 a year and I was shopping for an aqua terra and my wife asked me to try on a silver dialled Seamaster. I initially went no thanks, however I tried it on anyway. It was lovely and I loved the little details on the dial and watch, I think it looks great on rubber so have ordered one form my AD.
So after all that here is my new Seamster 300m in silver. So far very impressed but need to slow down watch purchasing; having a new born is not helping with so much time off.

Great watch, but goodness, do I hate that Silver dial! Glad you like it!
I was the same with the seamaster, initially dismissed it due to the wave dial pattern. However in the metal it looks fantastic and the wave dial really adds to the watch. Ended up getting one off the forum a couple of months ago and love it. Its my go to daily wearer.
It has to be worn to be appreciated, I will add some more photos, it’s out for it’s first outing whilst I go to look at a new dark side with wife.Originally Posted by MrGrumpy
This really is a lovely looking watch in the flesh but when I tried it on recently the dial reminded me of the Pampers clock. Now I see that in all the new ceramic Seamaster dials.

I stopped at this comment :
"I was shopping for an aqua terra and my wife asked me to try on a silver dialled seamster"
My missus has no interest - and cannot believe the amount they cost !
Looks great in the grey I must say!
Cheers

Wow its quite big! Bigger than I thought! What size wrist do you have?

Congratulations! Just goes to show that trying in the flesh really makes a difference.
Two questions:
1. Is the hour hand shorter on the silver/blue version than the black? It looks shorter.
2. How is legibility compared to the black? It looks less clear in the silver (including the date). I used to own the black, I love the look but caseback annoyed me.
I have the blue dialled version of this, and absolutely love everything about it. The silver dial would be a VERY close second choice for me. Enjoy.
Lovely in silver, I tried on all colours and can confirm on the wrist it is stunning.
I'm not sold on this colour combination and much preferred your black dial. But I do respect what you mentioned about being bored of the black dial, at one point my entire collection were black dialed. The combination of silver and blue is certainly different so if you like it then must make it exciting to wear, it's nice to break away from the norm.
I should add I've never seen one of these in the metal so who knows, maybe I would love it in person. I never thought much of the Great White GMT(always thought the bezel looked overpowering in pics) until I saw one in the metal for the first time, then couldn't stop thinking about it and had to go back and buy it!

Mate, you need to stop buying quantity and look for quality. All this Omega and Tudor tat is a waste of time and money.
I don't happen to own either brand, but Omega and Tudor are hardly "tat".
Your opinion. Thank you.
Stunning comment. Rather unnecessary.
Started out with nothing. Still have most of it left.
Have the blue dialled one and never considered the grey dial, but it does look rather nice I must admit.

Wow. Just when you think you've read all the pointless comments you possibly can, along comes another!
Hey Skip, do not be so sensitive!
How come? These are mundane watches. The OP has several Tudors of increasingly boring spec. Now he adds a bland Omega. Just what I see.
Saying "All this Omega and Tudor tat is a waste of time and money." is rather silly on a watch forum. People on here buy watches of all price levels because they like them. I don't like Tudor particularly but others do, I happen to like Rolex, some don't.
Can't you find someone poorer than you to impress with your superior watches today?

Mate, money is not the object here.
Fine.

I have plenty of other tat brands that I buy; I just don’t post them on here for this very reason. The watches I have purchased and posted are the ones that I am enjoying most. Shall I keep adding to my Rolex collection for my enjoyment I do but I avoid posting those now. I don’t fall for they hype of Brands too much. I do enjoy JLC, PP and Cartier amongst my other tat brands.
Money does not equate better to me anymore, I will try and add better quality watches to my photos:) This is a watch forum and it takes all sorts.

And in English?
You really are a prize berk!
You just met the owner of the hotel sitting at the bar.

Ignoring the squabblng - come on guys "calm down - calm down" -
Shoppy - I like that version quite a lot. I agree it does need to be be seen outside the garish shop lights to be appreciated. It makes a refreshing change from the usual black (or blue). I did own the TT version for a bit but have ended up with the ceramic cased all black dial.
Thanks for sharing!

I think you’re right about seeing it in the real world. I’m going to have a look at one next time I go to the AD and compare it to my blue one. The lighter dial is beginning to look better the more I look at it.

Maybe consider what the rest of us see when you make these displays of extreme dimwittedness.
Making comments to put others down simply for your own ‘sport’ is rather pitiful.
Shame on you Skyman, I thought better of you.
You are welcome. It begs the question as to which watches or brands are "non-tat", in your opinion.
I find it's the case with almost every watch I buy or view.
10 years ago I loathed the sub, now I love it in no date form.
Likewise I used to yearn for an IWC vintage Aquatimer 44, but now it's easy to big for me.
Same with cars, houses, films, music etc
And mine, I would never call Omega and Tudor tat, my dad once told me that if you can’t say anything nice, better to keep quiet.
What a crass remark.
Errr yes it is. You insinuated that Omega and Tudor are “tat”.... Tat = “items which you think are cheap and of bad quality.”
You then went on to say that both brands are a waste of time and MONEY
Both comments unnecessary and a bit dickish IMO..
Not that keen on the new seamaster personally but that grey dial is definitely interesting, and the watch is of no doubt quality.
On a side note, a LOT of biting on this thread to a fairly innocuous comment. Everyone has an opinion.
Innocuous? To me it was down right rude and disrespectful. I’m sure it could be forgiven if it was a one off, unfortunately it’s not.
My apologies to the OP for having to stick my 2 pence worth in.
As I say, everyone has an opinion. Some things are best ignored IMO
