    That one is so nice.

    This one is related, but not the same type of emotions involved...

            The black/black seamaster is a favourite of mine, very well executed. One of these watches that is difficult to photograph and looks better in person. 👍

                    @Anesthetist I know, but there are a lot of twilight scenarios (no, not the greasy vampire ones) where the lume does not kick in enough to make a black / black or black / grey watch readable.

                    My Seiko Shikamaru is a nightmare, even though I expect Omega to use a better lume on a 10 to 15x as expensive watch.

                    On the toppic of the Seamaster PO, that thing realy is a beauty. It wasn't the most reasonable decision to buy that beast, but I will certainly not regret it. 🙂

                      I could live with the black / black seamaster quite happily even with a compromised legibility point of view.

                      I really like how they have made the wave textured dial shine on the raised facets.

                      A very interesting watch. It is one I have been debating over for a while to add to the collection.

                      Without owning one it would be difficult to comment further on the 24hr legibility of the piece.

                      There is no 'I' in team …............ however there are five in 'individual brilliance'.

                        I am also a huge fan of the all black Matt ceramic Bulgari Octo Finissimo. Another watch where the legibility could be seen as compromised.

                        That particular finissimo has highly hands and hour markers to make the dial both subtle and readable.

                        Maybe I just have a thing for black black watches. Luckily these watches would not be a sole piece in the collection.

                          My “sapphire sandwich” Speedy which I bought in 2019 - to celebrate the birth of my son - before Omega revamped the available movements (and massively hiked the prices). I feel like I was lucky to have bought one when I did!

                            I was in Melbourne a couple of days ago, and the Omega boutique had the new Speedy with the white dial on display. It's a very pretty watch.

                            White Speedmaster

                            There was also the Paris 2024 Seamaster, which I liked more than I expected.

                              @Graeme I really like the new white dial Speedy, ticks a lot of boxes particularly the manual wind and display case back work really well together with no rotor to block the movement display. Would have been keen to see it with a steel bezel rather than black anodized aluminum one fitted.

                                Agreed on all points. The bezel on the SMP leaves me cold but both of these feature lovely dials.

                                Think it, be it.

                                    Had a big birthday last year so my beater is now a GMT. Current state of the small collection, but I am lusting big time after an Ultraman Speedmaster

                                          The Seamaster 300 "summer blue" is a very attractive piece I find. I'm not in the market for a dive watch at this time, but if I were this would be a strong contestant.
