In Response To: POLL: How many Seamaster Chronograph more... ()

: owners do we have, and what model? For example,
: I just bought a new Omega Sea-Chrono and the
: model number is: 2598.80.00

: Any comments on the watch?
: Impressions?
: Opinions?
: How is working out for you so far?

I just bought a Chrono Diver Ti -2298.80

Pro: Gorgeous and robust, relatively light to SS, Ti color is "less flashy" than SS, unique (though Citizen did attempt to make a SS copy in the Promaster), keeps decent time (+5 secs/day), I use the chronograph to measure my decompression time when diving

Con: It's thick, heavier than most watches, and looks huge on my wrist (small/med wrist), brushed band scratches more easily, can't finely adjust band except for half links which still isn't enough for me (either a little too small or too big), a little pricey retail but I got it second hand at a great price

Overall: LOVE it with no regrets (yet)

It needs servicing this May. Does anyone know the ballpark cost of this?
Thanks
