A 2017 won’t be the latest wave dial. I prefer the plain dial but then I have one £3,500 seems expensive though, they were £2920 new and I hadn’t anticipated that they’d increase in value. You may find a discount on a new one…Explosive Newt wrote: ↑Mon Jul 25, 2022 4:19 pm I tried on a new seamaster today. Very tidy and I love the clean shape. They had a navy face one and I’m no longer sure I prefer the silver face, it would look good with a shirt or suit, I think.
Found a 2017 one for £3500…

Re: The Watches Thread
That was the new one I tried yesterday. The heft of it is just right - reassuringly heavy but not overly so.
https://www.chrono24.co.uk/omega/seamas ... 342871.htm that was the one I was looking at. See what you mean about the differences in dial... although I may like it more.
Re: The Watches Thread
Ah, an Aqua Terra. I automatically thought you meant the 300m

Re: The Watches Thread
Is £3.5k more reasonable for an AT?
I like the lines of it much more - I really prefer a more 'dressy' watch. Bare below the elbow policies mean I won't be wearing it at work, so this is something to wear for 'best' rather than an every day watch.
Also, my father has a 1964 Seamaster which has similar clean lines and has always been my inspiration for watches. I don't know the exact classification but it looks like this:
Re: The Watches Thread
I like the Aqua Terra and while I don't have enough knowledge to have a view on the price of that one, it may be more sensible.
The thing I don't like about the AT is that it's branded a Seamaster. That just seems wrong.

"Water earth". Crap name.
Re: The Watches Thread
The Citrine yellow Sinn 556 arrived today from Germany, it's been a fairly lengthy wait having ordered it in April. As with many watches it is difficult to show the detail in a photograph but the watch face has a really high metallic content which should look really good in the sun, unfortunately the overcast weather at the moment wouldn't play ball. The watch is 1 of 400 and 38.5mm in diameter so ideal for those who don't like larger watches. It is also available in blue, orange and green although they have all sold out now.
Re: The Watches Thread
Lovely! The strapon it looks really great too
Re: The Watches Thread
Sinn watches are lovely! Well done.
Re: The Watches Thread
Wasn’t one of you lot who’s just paid over $1m for hitters old watch, was it?
Re: The Watches Thread
That Citrine yellow Sinn 556 is properly smart. Very classy and understated.
Cheers,
Mike.

Re: The Watches Thread
I took out mine (it's a '62 Seamaster) to have a look and to arrange getting it fixed.
It's comically small when compared to some modern watches...
Re: The Watches Thread
Another public service announcement, as some of you may be interested: bloke on the Chris Ward site offering “final reduced price before it’s out up for sale elsewhere”. Almost blemish free 2019 Rolex Explorer 39mm for £7500.

I remember when you used to post bargains, Mik
