: I just saw a close up of the Seamaster GMT Automatic/black
: rubber strap at local jeweler. This watch looks absolutely
: awesome. I'm own a Seamaster Professional Automatic in
: Stainless which I've had a little over two years. I love
: the watch an wear it every day. But....I may look into the
: new GMT. Does anyone out there own one? This jeweler is an
: authorized dealer and is asking $1875. If anyone can share
: their experience with the GMT, it would be greatly
: appreciated.
Having a little trouble lately with my "150th" and being biased therefore concerning Omega in some issues I would stick with the Seamaster you already own. My 150th shares the same dial indicators and hands your desired GMT features. Those big fat tritium indicators lack IMHO a little bit precision and will overfill the dial. They are really cool at night, but it sort of looks like a lamp on your arm ;-). Rolex indicators for example are much higher precision. Each tritium indicator is framed in a steel frame, looks very clean. That's why their dial looks and sparkels better, but the Seamaster kicks back with the wave design. Also my hands carry fat tritium, which doesn't look so fine like the skeleton hands of the regular Seamaster you already own.
Instead of a GMT I would consider a chronograph, since the GMT essentially doesn't give you a real technical benefit, but on the other side the chronographs are more expensive :-(.
Just my 0.02 cent.
Cheers, Andreas
