So, I went into Goldsmiths in Southampton this morning just to try on the new Seamaster SMP and see if I liked it and if so which model suited me best......you know, just for something to do on my day off......
One hour later and....

Now I could be in some serious bother with Mrs Jimmer68!
I think my watch buying could be at an end for a while so I might as well include a state of the collection photo
I’ll report back with some initial findings on the new Omega in a day or two but for now tin hat on for when the boss gets home tonight

Lovely watch. My wife is the one who wants me to get a collection of watches and gives me the go ahead to buy whenever I see anything. It’s swings and roundabouts though as we went to my mates house on Sat for my wife to give details of sites/shops/eating in New York as she has been several times and my mates wife hasn’t been before and she goes at the weekend. Half way though going through travel details my mates wife said it would be good for my wife to go as well to help her find her way around- skip 5 mins later and my wife had booked flights/hotel and taxi from the airport and she leaves in 5 days. She knows I’m happy for her to do what she wants and she knows I like watches so why not. Lol
Hey that's a nice blue!
It's blue, right?

love this and really want one to sit next to my original bond.
Any discount on it? Really is nice. Needs the rubber with it as well :)
You could always say is a "test watch"...like a test drive, just to see how it fits etc.
Very nice!!! On my list..which is growing daily😀
Like that watch. The date is better there!

Congrats. Lovely collection. I've seen the Smiths Everest and am intrigued. What's your thoughts as an owner.

Lovely looking watch, congrats on the spontaneous pickup... always the best ones!
Thats the way to do it. Good luck explaining to the Mrs. When I was lucky enough to get a PO mine was convinced I'd bought another Speedmaster.
I had to show her them side by side and eventually she could see they were not the same.

You need a lot more watches, then she won't notice.
Lovely looking watch. I've come close to getting the previous smpc version but the bracelet has put me off.
Just looking at the new bracelet, despite being the same basic design, it somehow looks sleeker and less busy. Looking at a comparison, the new bracelet looks to have wider centre links and a flatter profile? Presumably, if the centre links are wider, the polished links are narrower? They look less prominent anyway. To me, the new bracelet is more visually appealing than its predecessor, despite at first glance being the same design. A clever move by omega I think.
what's your opinion on the new bracelet? Is it a noticeable difference in reality?
Lovely watch Jim and suits you well

I’ve only wore it for a couple of hours, but the profile is flatter and more squared at the edges than previously. It’s very comfortable and the micro adjust is great and really simple to use. I think the bracelet is really quite nice.
Other initial thoughts are that the watch is much more visually striking than you get from the photos and it really is high quality. It does feel a little larger and thicker on the wrist ( which it is)than previous SMP’s and this puts it right on the size limit for me with a wrist just under 7”. It did try it on the blue rubber oem and it felt perfect,so I suspect I will get one at some point

Ahh, sorry... should of read it properly. Please forgive me.
I do wish omega would make the new seamaster in midsize though as 42mm is way too big for me and it's such a good watch.
Lovely looking watch.
I keep looking at these, the size is spot on for me.
I have purchased a few watches from Goldsmiths, what discount do you get ?
Looks absolutely stunning on the wrist... I'm sure you will be forgiven... usually work.
There was the lighter blue version in the window of the pawn shop in the Marlands centre on Thursday. I was a bit surprised, considering how long these have been out, that someone had had to hock theirs already!
What's the PSA ?
Absolutely love mine though I went for the black dial and got the rubber to.

One of these was withdrawn and was being sold at such a price for very specific reasons which I’ll not elaborate on. The other two were via Ryan’s offer which does not reflect the open market. Also sc pricing does not typically reflect market price because of the nature of selling on here. I would not be too quick to assume that based on such a limited sample, 25% plus discount is going to be achievable. 10-15% is more likely

Anyone know the Omega part number for the blue rubber strap? I Can't find it on the Omega website.
Thanks

I tried one of these recently, it may have been the lighter blue version looking at the pics, but fancied it, but then SWMBO appears with the disapproving face on, dealer had a matching ladies in stock but funds wouldn't stretch to a pair, and I have plans for later this year, was still in the window the other day, there was no mention of discount though. Must resist asking.
From experience of my local AD I went in with a friend how liked the grey dial. He was considering it asked if there was a deal to be had for a card purchase today was offered it for £3200 without any further pushing. Not a bad price!

Lovely watch. I am tempted by this or the previous model in blue. I much prefer the crown guards on the new model, but prefer the bezel on the old model. Hmmm...
Love the wave dial! Cracking pickup sir!
Stunning
