New SMP real-world photos
These are starting to land. Photos taken from WUS posts.
I’ve never been a skeleton hands fan, but I kinda want one. Black dial please.

i really wish they'd do one of these (or the previous gen ceramic bezel models) as a no date.
the hands are much better on the wrist than in pics btw...

Re: New SMP real-world photos
These are growing on me. Even the sorta weird looking grey/silver dialed one. Cool that the prices are pretty reasonable from what I recall, and from what I've seen these actually started showing up before they were promised... on both counts a refreshing change from the shitty mess it has become trying to buy a new SS Rolex...

Re: New SMP real-world photos
Still not really feeling it. I've never had a problem with the skeleton hands, but I don't like the way they've done the wave dial in this version (the old, pre-ceramic wave dial was a better look). I'm not overly fond of the changes to the HEV. I do like the newer, less pointed crown guards and what appears to be a larger crown.
I also wish Omega would return to the Speedy style bracelet for this watch. I appreciate that the SMP bracelet is unique to the model, but it's starting to feel a little dated, even with the newer, flatter links.

^ my guess is we will see a modern 2254 variant in a year or two. Same dial, but 2254 style hands and markers, Speedy style bracelet.

agreed on the bracelet, until i wore the ceramic for a while on the bond bracelet with adjustable clasp.JBZ wrote: ↑Thu Sep 13, 2018 12:01 pmStill not really feeling it.

most comfortable bracelet/clasp combo i've ever used, and i thought the 300 master coaxial was tops, until i tried this combo.
Re: New SMP real-world photos
2254 remake is a must, just a matter of time
Re: New SMP real-world photos
I’m liking that blue a lot. Wonder where these will settle out at price wise. 3k used?

That's an odd shaped crown at 10 o'clock.
Re: New SMP real-world photos
I've worn the Bond bracelet (not the newer version with the adjustable clasp), and I agree that it's very comfortable. I just think it looks kind of dated at this point.jtbenson wrote: ↑Thu Sep 13, 2018 1:13 pmagreed on the bracelet, until i wore the ceramic for a while on the bond bracelet with adjustable clasp.JBZ wrote: ↑Thu Sep 13, 2018 12:01 pmStill not really feeling it.

Re: New SMP real-world photos
I want to like it... never warmed to these bracelets. I have figured out that the fact that it doesn’t taper bugs me the most.

Not an issue if the guy that's wearing it is also dated.

Re: New SMP real-world photos
Don’t like it at all, the waves, the tapered HEV and something I had t noticed until now, the change in the bracelet to flat links. It looks all wrong to me on a Bond bracelet.

It’s lost all of it character, everything that, love it or hate it, made it what it was.

Agree with you on the bracelet - it's flatter literally and by way of impression. if I get one of these it's on rubber as a sport(ier) piece.james80 wrote:

Edit: I just realized what the new bracelet reminds me of - the bracelets I've seen on cheap SMP replicas... I admit I haven't seen one in person but that's been my initial impression.
