  • The Omega Seamaster is the watch of James Bond (along with Seiko and Rolex) and now it's the watch of Steve Papa! Well it has been for almost 2 years now but I'm finally making my review on it! So how does this compare to other luxury divers like the Rolex Submariner? You've got to watch and see!

    The mesh bracelet completely changed my opinion of this watch. Before that I barely wore the Seamaster. But now it gets much more wrist time with the mesh bracelet! Omega should be selling this combo as a standard model (instead of having to buy the bracelet separately).

    • @stevepapa
      @stevepapa  ปีที่แล้ว

    • @kraigschess1772
      @kraigschess1772 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      IMO they shouldn't sell this combo as standard... that way, it makes this combo rarer and therefore that little bit better. I'm def gonna pick up the mesh bracelet for my SMP300 soon. My OB sells both the steel (£720) and titanium ones (£1250) but I cant see the titanium one being justified since the steel looks even better.

      I have exactly the same experience with my Planet ocean chronograph. The standard bracelet is slightly uncomfortable, with the heavy weight (250 g). The mesh bracelet is lighter and more comfortable, and provides a completely new look, overall.

    I can’t imagine calling the SMP Bracelet chunky. It’s the most comfortable bracelet I have ever worn! I had an SMP and Submariner. I still have the SMO, BUT NOT THE sub! That says how I feel about them!

    I matched the white dial to the mesh and it is amazing! It’s a great differentiated competitor for the submariner (white and mesh vs black and steel links).

    I had my first Swiss mechanical watch at age 4 as a present from my very special grand mother who taught us how to read, write and read the time well before time ! At 4 years old as I was reading and also reading time fluently. My older brother too. So our special grandmother offered each of us a tiny Swiss watch. It was an automatic but not waterproof, just dust proof. I still have it as a prized memory to this day… So having started years back I then got a Seiko quartz watch during the 70ies as we lived in Indonesia with frequent recreational trips to Singapore… Then an automatic Seiko. Then at 18 I broke into “luxury” territory with a brand new steel & gold square Cartier Santos with all its screws. As a mechanical and computer nerd I was drawn into these screws… Then, then, then after a few Swatches, Hamilton, IWC, a stellar JLC Memovox Tribute to Polaris 1968, I was waiting in the ailes for a titanium watch. Late 2019 the Omega newsletter set my sight on the Omega Seamaster NTTD. I ordered it in Paris whilst abroad then collected it in May 2022. It has not been off my wrist since then. So although I do enjoy other watch brands, especially JLC which I find has superlative class, finesse whilst also being discreet, now that I have an Omega _ years back I knew I had to have one _ and a very light, reasonably thin and special too, I am amazed by the movement regulation / timekeeping which thus far is totally out of this world 👀😳🤩😍🤔🧐😵‍💫. I was thinking to add a Rolex to my little collection but after checking the forums I found out that the issues of their 32XX has yet to be resolved once and for all. This makes me hesitant as buying a Rolex with a potential design defect could well become an annoying and expensive liability once the guarantee period has elapsed… with service required every 24 months or even less.

    I treated myself to the blue dial version two years ago and it is fantastic, I have a 7" wrist and it fits fine. The case, bezel and bracelet are excellent, and with the crystal case back and stunning wave dial the Submariner just cant compete. I love it.

    I have the blue dial version. LOVE IT! I like the newer model much more than the older models. I like the standard bracelet too. It's fine. No need to swap it out for the mesh. I also have a Submariner. Both get about equal wrist time, but if I can only have one, I'd choose the Sub. Fortunately, it's never going to come down to that. Both are keepers.

    I had my heart set on the sapphire sandwich moonwatch after reseasrching for a good 12 months and on paper it is ideal for me. Went into the city for a watch browsing day with my wife with the intent of trying and buying a speedmaster, tried it on and was a bit underwhelmed. As a bit of an afterthought i asked to see the seamaster in blue and it just felt and looked great. Continued on and tried on an awesome Longines Hydroconquest Gmt (whch is great watch for a more affordable GMT) amongst other things and then went to lunch to discuss with my wife. My mind kept on going back to the seamaster (as did my wifes) and promptly purchased it. Im also a larger guy with over 8" wrists and it just fits so well and is so comfortable with the adjustable clasp. Also bought the rubber strap with the deployant clasp to change it up. Great all round watch i can see the bracelet potentially being an issue for some but personally i think its great.

    • @stevepapa

    I've ended up putting mesh bracelets on several of my watches. I've kind of overdosed on them. They've been so popular in the last few years. It's a classic style and I don't think they'll ever go away, but I wouldn't mind if they became a little more under the radar.

    2:30 As an owner of the blue SMP300M, I must say it looks phenomenal on your wrist. It is meant to be worn on big wrists like yours. I see that you got 6 full links (plus a couple of half links) on each side of the bracelet and that certainly helps the non-tapered bracelet visually appear less clunky.

    Bought the black face just over 2 years ago and wear it every day. Love this watch. I have a 7 1/4 in wrist and it doesn’t look big at all. The bracelet is comfortable and the quick adjust is awesome, but I don’t really like the look. I do prefer the Sub’s bracelet style. The only scratches I have are on the large buckle. I’d buy it again.

    This omega looks great . If omega wants to seek growth, it needs to focus on Asian market , this means it has to downsize its iconic Speedmaster and sea master . Most of Asians skip both of them or would sell them because of 1 key factor - size .
    It’s too big to be kept for long term. In the end, all of them went back to rolex . So omega team has to decide if it wants to stay arrogant or work on downsizing

      Been waiting ever since the relaunch of the Seamaster for another midsize 36mm. My guess is that they weren't commercially viable in the long run, though they've traditionally made one for decades since the Bond watch debuted. Hopefully the downsizing trend will influence Omega to do so, but if we're talking Omega in the Asian markets, the Constellation line is among the best selling for their size and styling

    Seamaster 300m is a seriously fine watch. Just couple of things that breaks the deal are: non-tapered bracelet with relatively inferior build quality, as well as clasp, and gap between endlink/case. I'm pretty sure Omega can fix them. Asian consumers don't look favorably on those things.

    Hi Steve. I have just purchased the same watch but on the rubber strap as I dislike the steel bracelet so much ( I had the same previously on the steel bracelet but flipped it as I found the bracelet so hard to get a good fit)
    I then got the No Time To Die Omega on the titanium bracelet and loved the bracelet and fit but in the end flipped that as I could not get to love the fake patina.
    As I first mentioned I loved the black ceramic 300 so much I purchased it again on the rubber strapand would love to get the steel Milanese bracelet to match like yours as it looks stunning. How does one get that lovely bracelet and does it fit easily with the original pins or need new pins etc. Never added a different bracelet before so apologies if the question sounds stupid.

    • @stevepapa
      @stevepapa  ปีที่แล้ว

      Not a stupid question at all! In order to get one, I'd check with your local boutique as they are sold out online. Or I'd check ebay, chrono24, or other trusted sellers. As far as pins go, I had to use different ones.

      This hype with white dial is making me very confused and going back and forth, thinking am i making the wrong decision to purchase black one over the white. There must be a reason why it's popular over the othe, right? Then like you said, when you put two together next to each other. Black looks much better in comparison... Head to head side by side....is there something about this white dial these other people see that i dont see?😂😂😂😂😂 is it the contrast? That all? Or hmmm hahaha, decided to go with black one after your video. Helped to clear my mind haha thanks!

      If you have the proper tools and the patience it's pretty easy. Look into buying a good set of spring bar tweezers to make the process easier than just a standard spring bar tool.

    I’ve owned the SMP300 and upgraded it to the Planet Ocean because it simply fell short of the Sub, which I also own, in several respects. Bracelet is not at the Oysters level. Bezel and bezel action are worse than the Subs. And technically, the Sub is the superior watch, coaxial hype notwithstanding: more accurate (+/-2 vs 0/+5), far longer PR (55 hours power reserve vs 3-days power reserve), more reliable (5-year service interval vs 10-year service interval). The Sub also uses superior materials: platinum and rhodium-plated white gold vs enamel and rhodium-played bronze. It’s a good watch, but it’s no Sub - I’d take the Planet Ocean or Sub over the 300.
