I don't know, breaking that 5K price point is somewhat significant.

I thought the price was too much at 4k (without discount). 5k+ is just ridiculous, but if people pay it, might as well charge it.

Doesn't seem that long ago when it was at the 4K point...

Many non WUS look to Omega when they can't get a Sub.... and since you can't walk into Rolex and buy a sub I don't blame Omega for taking advantage of having actual stock....

Indeed. That's why I largely tapped out of watches. The fun:value ratio went lopsided in the wrong direction for me.

Agreed. Glad I have what I have now, but I've slowed WAY down.

Yep. I see some of these are still mid 3’s used/like new, at least on rubber. Might be the time to do it. Would be a nice compliment to my Sub.

Honestly I think it’s still a great buy at the updated price. Should still be able to snag a discount to get it to mid 4’s. They hit above their weight imo. Need to get a blue to compliment my white.

Picked mine up a ways back.

Worked out a trade plus cash with Rob at Topper's; he's great to work with.


Solid watch.

I’m also in the camp that still finds Omega a decent value. Heck, they don’t drop as much as they used to on the pre-owned market, which is likely due in part to Omega discounts being reduced and quality improving.

I realize Rolex is the ling-term value leader, but I found the white dial Seamaster to be a stellar piece. To do it again I’d have kept it. Now I’m considering the Nekton no-date Seamaster.

I actually think the Seamaster is a good value. Great watch and collared favorably to a sub for a lot less and it’s obtainable

Even with the increase a lot of watch for the money.. Lot’s of great choices— you need to go “gold”…:)
