Well, you might recall my recent acquisition, a mid size Seamaster. After a "polishing spa" treatment, the watch looked good! The thing is, since the first moment, I was worried about the size. In the pics it did not appear smallish in my wrist. However, it looked small compared to my other watches, it looks a bit small overall on me (I am not a small guy) and, when I showed it to the House President/CFO, her first words were "It is too small!". There is nothing wrong with the watch, I love the quality, design, built, etc... It is just a tad small. So, considering all that, I decided to flip it. As I got it for a very good price, with perfect box and documents, I am able to sell it for a significant profit here. So, I started the search again. And, as always, when you search you find. So, let me introduce my newest catch (if everything goes as planned):   Red dot is there!  Was told it is like a torch!  |

Somehow in your earlier posts I missed the fact that the first one was a midsize; even though you had it in there plain as day .Hope the new one suits you better!  |

So very sweet Ral... ...honestly one of "THE" Seamasters to own IMO...I absolutely love this 2255.80 with the Blue Wave Dial (my other love is the classic black dialed 2254.50).Just something so right, so well done with these Omega classics...their design ensures they will never go out of style IMO...I hope to have them in the collection someday!!! And as I've heard...the Lume is absolutely fantastic!!! I have no doubt you will enjoy this one. |

I love the electric blue Seamater and am sure you are going to dig it a lot. If the whole midsize thing was bugging you then I'm glad you made the move. |

I agree with the comments above, sir. Go full-size and you will never look back. The 2255.80 with the blue wave dial is a fabulous look and a genuinely grailworthy watch. The plainer 5 link bracelet is just wonderful on the wrist and much more of a classic Omega look IMHO. I hope you enjoy the new one - we will sure enjoy seeing more pics of it! Cheers and congratulations! IanM hand6.gif |

Beautiful, one of the best looking models from OMEGA and in fact it is close to the one I like the most, the classic older one... Hopefully you'll find the fit more satisfying then the earlier one.  |

What is considered 'mid sized'? I have the Omega James Bond in a 41mm I believe. It fits me well but i do have a small wrist. Those 50 mm are way too big for me. I really do like both choices you made. Omega's are hard to beat. well done |

GOT HERE!!!!! Sorry, bad quality pic, but IN MY WRIST!!!! Looks great, and it is BIGGER than the mid size...  Also, I believe that having this for an Omega reflects that the owner had strong feelings for its watches:  |

Quick update on the watch: it is running well within COSC specs for the moment, which is something expected but appreciated. It wears VERY comfortable, I was able to adjust the bracelet to fit my wrist exactly how I want - first time on one without micro adjustment in the clasp. Could not get it like that in the mid-size one. Need to acknowledge that this is just good luck, as if my wrist was a bit smaller/larger, situation would not have been the same. Although the watch measures closer to 42-43 mm than to the listed 41mm and looks big, it wears smaller, probably due to its relatively low height. So, it slides easily even under a dress shirt. Besides the perfect fit, the bracelet (and everything in the watch) is very well made. Lume is outstanding, at the level of the Orange Monster I had to flip because of "wifey" issues with the color, not as bright for the first 30 seconds, but lasts longer. The kind of lume I was expecting in the Dievas Vortex but did not get. One of the things that caught my attention on this watch, as well as in the mid-size Omega, is how perfect the hands look. There is no spot, dust flaw or asymmetry, even under magnification. Same for the dial. Dial color is fantastic. Objectivity might not be guaranteed on this, as my car has a very similar color After wearing it for two days, I will... wear it tomorrow. I have not worn a watch for 3 days in a row for quite some time now, so I guess this shows something. The main problem I have now is that I am starting to think about a moon Speedy ... |
