Checked out the ceramic and titanium seamaster

Post by tyd450 » Mon Feb 20, 2023 3:14 pm

I stopped by the omega boutique today in Chicago and checked out a few watches. The customer service there is top notch! I brought my little guy with me who is 6 and we had a great time.

His favorite out of all of the watches we saw was the blue dial seamaster (see RJ you shouldn't sell it lol :lol: )

The one that keeps catching my eye is the 43.5mm seamaster 300m with the black ceramic case and the titanium bezel and crown ...and no date. It has the same reverse type of black dial that the nekton edition has where the larger waves are matte and the smaller ones are shiny, which I prefer to the dial on the regular black dial 42mm steel version.

It wears really well and doesn't feel bigger on my wrist than my white dial 42mm in steel.

Oh yeah I remember chatting with you a bit about it before I ended up buying my white dial instead. I still love the white but still haven't gotten over the urge to pick up this one too!

Probably going to ping Rob and Topper to see what he can do for me...although I saw some thread about them recently becoming an official omega boutique dealer or something so maybe gone are the days of 20ish percent discounts?

Thanks they were quick and dirty shots for sure, very hard to get anything decent in the harsh boutique lighting

I've heard some stories about chipping from spring bar tools slipping and the horror stories of dropping the watch and the case actually cracking but I figure if I just wear it as is on the stock rubber most of those risks are avoided

A little birdie told me that topper won’t discount online (website) sales of omega now but if you call and talk to Rob you can still work out a nice discount. I haven’t heard whether they will discount Zenith or not but I’m super interested to find out!

Yeah people really get freaked out about that. It’s like just be careful where you’re swinging your arms bro :lol:

I had my friend's on and loved it, it is large but wears well for its size I think
Merde Alors! Et Vive Les Francais! :)

Love that. I didn't know they had a ceramic model of the Seamaster.
