: Does this mean that replacement parts or
: service will be more difficult?
No. Only the dial is different. All other case and bracelet parts are exactly the same as on the similar Seamaster models that will still be available! The movement itself is used in numerous different Omega watches including Deville and Constellations.
: Was there a lack of demand for these models
: or just a natural retirement.
Omega told me that the blue-dialed steel models are by far the most popular of the Seamasters. I believe they are retiring the less popular models to make room for the newer models they are adding.
: I am about to buy a white faced watch, should I now reconsider?
Get it while you can! You should still be able to get parts for all these watches for decades -- without regard to which are discontinued or not.
So if the white dial is what you like, go for it while you can still get it!
