Opinions please??

It's always said, buy on the bracelet and add straps as and when. I've always stuck to this in the past, especially due to resale value if I ever decide to sell the piece later. I'm drawn to this piec...

Only I (and other watch nerds) could turn a relatively simple acquisition, into a complex mission, with no end in sight..........🙈🤣

Thanks buddy. I appreciate that.

I have used Cousins before for my Bergeon tweezers.

I'm going to pop into see my AD tomorrow for a coffee, so I may see if they have any spares.

Thanks again!

Always wearing one. Will quite often change watch during the day and do some strap changes 💪🤣

Submariner all day long for me! It's the original and it's iconic! Super clean symmetry. It is personal preference though.

Ahh, I identify with your madness! We are a strange lot, that's for sure 🤓

Gray1972 commented on This is madness! ·

I own the Bergeon myself. I'm still terrible at putting bracelets back on with them. I'm OK at taking them off, but putting them back on is still a nightmare! 🤣

I still get my AD to put them back on, even though I have the tweezers 🙈.

I may see if he will teach me next time I'm in there 🤣.

Yeah, they're still in limited supply here from the AD's.

You can buy directly from Omega at RRP. Yeah, I'd go grey market if you can get it cheaper. As long as it's a reputable dealer.

I may go for it myself once I've seen it in the flesh. But I will also look for the beat deal.

Good luck finding your way out of the Seamaster rabbit hole 🤣
