A year in the making: Omega Seamaster 300m in Green

Finally, a year and two months to the day after putting my name down, I went to collect the Omega Seamaster in green. During the past 14 months it had become available online, but I do try and buy from physical retailers as much as I can, so they 'get the sale'. Having a few 300ms, I was ready to get something else if I felt it was too much of the same, but when I saw it in the flesh, it was game over. It's a stunning colour, and possibly one of the hardest to do justice to in pictures, so genuinely one you need to see in the metal. The AD had been super proactive and kept me abreast over the past year, I never chased once. Anyhow, a new addition to the Seamaster and Omega family.

Yes 100% pictures don't come close to capturing the colour. It's much more nuanced, I love it. Congratulations 😍👍

Thank you! 🍻 I even wore my black & gold Seamaster to the boutique to see if I felt it was too similar, but it's definitely it's own thing. Perfect for the Summer months too, so it'll be getting a lot of wear.

Thank you! It's pretty under the radar as colours go too which is good for day to day.

That is a long time, but the experience at the AD is worth waiting a while the moment they open the box in front o f you, the famois CALL, it is totally different than buying online.

It was a very long time, it beat my Rolex wait time by almost a year! 🤣 To be fair, I never chased, and was in no rush, and yes, dealing with nice people who put the time in keeping me posted, was worth it.

It was indeed, and there's definitely no urgency on something none of us really need!

I'm blessed with some really great ADs near me, so will always use them when possible.

I’m glad you’ve had a good experience! The one near me (Charleston Sc) is pretty great too. I’ve heard horror stories of ADs unfortunately

I'm glad yours are good too. I hear a lot of horror stories, and almost feel guilty as all of mine are all such decent people.

WOW, love the pictures and what a collection! Enjoy every swept second of it

Thank you! Those are the three watches that stayed on the table. I did try on quite a few!

I had this very watch on wrist a week ago. I was so tempted to buy it. But it's not the right time for me to buy a watch $5K or above. Enjoy it, it's a great piece!

Thank you! There should never be a timeline for a watch imo. It'll still be around whenever is the right time for you. 👍

Not really, I had bought some watches from my AD so he made it happen within a month of me expressing my interest

Crazy isn't it. My AD is in a small town and this was the first one they had been allocated since launch.

Stunning, good health to enjoy, I also love the Santos.

Thank you! Yes, it's a very under the radar watch despite being a chunky one.

Awesome choice! I love mine, the green is so versatile.
