at about the 7 O'clock (190 degrees) spot on the edge of the face. I do feel a bit silly now. 😊

Each to their own but I think it looks a little bit Mickey Mouse to me, not at all classy looking. It's got a bit of a Swatch vibe going on there.

I love Rolex but treated myself to an Omega co-axial planet ocean Seamaster, much more classy looking and not for watch snobs. I was so pleased I purchased it at the fraction of the price of the Rolex.

I absolutely love my Seastar 2000 the finish is sublime with the ceramic bezel. 600 metres water resistance is a bit overkill though and it is a bit of big boy too. I love the 3D wave effect on the dial and the way it transitions from light to dark turquoise. The accuracy is pretty much chronometer standard, the same as my old Omega co-axial Seamaster.

I bought this exact model last year and it is all you said but I found the only thing that disappoints me is the clasp, it is made from pressed steel, it would be much better if it had been machined steel.
