^^^Hi Neil
What are your brief views on the overall watch ? Are you considering buying ?
As you may know, I got mine while being on the waiting list for the Rolex OP 41.
I've not seen/handled many Rolex, I wonder when/if the OP becomes available, will it be a significant enough step up in quality, to warrant trading in the Omega ?
Regards Steve
Steve it is my favourite of the Seamaster dive range - due to the bezel, dial and the point that it doesn’t have a date. I have handled others in the range but am not keen on the ceramic bezels or how loud some of the dials look.
Of course like everything it comes down to personal choice, particularly when making comparisons between very well made watches from very good brands. I have always taken the view that to give a valid comparison between watches the person giving the view should at least have tried on the watches in question. Otherwise they are in danger of giving a view coloured just a teeny weeny bit by prejudices about a particular brand.
I was prompted to try it on as I had seen one for sale at a good price on another forum. I didn’t buy, as I don’t like to buy watches that I haven’t tried on. If (when) the new owner flips it, I may go for it and buy the OEM rubber strap, as for me it felt too heavy on the bracelet. Again just personal choice. Out of interest what goes it weigh on the bracelet?
The correct answer to the question you asked, is the one you have arrived at above - keep the SM when you get an OP.
