A lovely looking thing, but too straight up '57 Omega Seamaster 300 for me.

What does that say on the dial Eddie? Looks like Conquistador?
Brushed CLs? Is so, then like that. And if the lugs aren't overly long, like the Omega, then Double Plus Good.
Bezel doesn’t work....it needs to be narrower and without the insert. Presently it just looks like a Ranchero with some spare parts stuck on. (Harsh maybe but honest feedback is better than a*** kissing)
Way better than the earlier version with the controversial lugs however I agree that version A is a bit too close to the Seamaster 300.
I do still like the case, lugs and bezel on this one though. One thing I would bring from the previous version B is the blue hands.
Very, very nice but again, a bit too close to the Seamaster 300 for me personally. Haven't you ever considered remaking one of the old Smiths divers?
I’m 100% liking this....

Me likey the whitey
Very nice.
Black 3, 6, 9 and 12 on the cream dial, with blued hands for clarity?

Ps maybe a white second hand too on the black dial version?
I love that, Eddie.
If you have to undertake any changes, please make them minor as I think it looks superb.
Nice watch but I will pass on anything dive watch related. I really like the field/military genre.
Looks good 👍
That’s a good looking watch!
I’m strangely drawn to the white/cream face, especially if it did have heat blued hands.

Apologies if this is a daft question, but can someone point me in the right direction to explain the significance of the reverse numbering on the bezel.
Ta.
Love the look of the watch.
Most elegant, has a movement been decided upon?
As said, it's lovely. But it does look like a straight up copy of the current 57' Omega SMP and that's not something that attracts me to your watches.
Also, 48mm lug to lug rules me out. But then, I'm aware that I'm a bit of an outlier.
Love the dual/hands/lugs/bracelet.
Not keen on the bezel/ insert.
I've always wanted a watch with perpendicular lugs.
This was a project with Kemmner 6 years ago, before Omega did the re-edition but Kemmner said he couldn't do the bezel. It's a pity he couldn't because I'll not be doing it now that it's a current mdel for Omega.

Gutted! But this would be straying into the realms of copyright infringement I guess?

I like it. I know it's a tall ask, but please some how add a jumping hours feature. The Omega Seamaster version has this, and it allows the watch to be used as a travellers watch. A watch like this, done well, can be a "one watch to rule them all" type watch that you can wear everywhere, including travelling and vacations. Also the watch should have an antimagnetic cage ;-)
I would buy the Omega version of this despite the cost, except I don't like the coaxial as that has serious design flaws. If you made this with an antimagnetic cage, and a jumping hours hand (and preferably with the date that jumps forward or back too), I would 100% buy it.
This for me.
Whilst the Conquest from Eddie looks fine, it is a copy of an Omega and there are any number available on eBay for less than £100.
Perfect would be something, on the assumption I remember opening times etc, that was a reissue of a Smith's original.

Looks great, but not sure about the white numerals on the cream dial. Would prefer black numerals, or maybe the white looks better in real life than the rendering.
Damnit! Got very excited looking at the first post! Eddie, you tease!
