Bling Bling And Bang Bang
I bought the black dial Seamaster 8800 to replace the SMP-C I traded away.
Somehow, it wasn't fitting the niche and I moved on to the 43.5 PO, perfect fit.
Despite some reservations about the new design, I continued to check out the blue dial version, it had my attention.
Many reviews out there to read and a number of videos to watch.
I couldn't find dissatisfied owners.
Patrick loves his.
I decided to pull the trigger; thanks again to Rob at Topper's for a smooth transaction and great trade allowance.
The watch arrived this morning.
The last line of a review written on WUS by bber45 stuck in my head.
Bottom line: Lives up to the hype, worth the money, and purist shut your eyes. The New SMP is bling bling and bang bang.
He hit the nail on the head.

Checked one out for the first time at the local AD recently. The markers are pure awesome. I’d have to say the blue beat out the black for me as well
Many will register, few will last

Re: Bling Bling And Bang Bang
I feel like I've seen just about every picture of the blue dial on the internet.
What stands out is how varied the blue looks, from nearly black to a too bright, Pelagos-ish coloration.
It was the moment of truth when I opened the box and a great relief to see how good the blue looks.
Re: Bling Bling And Bang Bang
yeah i would not want that too blue pelagos color... hopefully indeed its darker than that!mattcantwin wrote: ↑Mon Feb 04, 2019 8:55 amI feel like I've seen just about every picture of the blue dial on the internet.

Re: Bling Bling And Bang Bang

My goal for 2019 was to add a blue dial diver.
I can coast for the rest of the year.

Great looking watch. Shopping for the various Omega Seamaster watches has been a challenge for me with all the variations.
