Hello Xavier.
Firs of all congratulations! U're getting the real good watch! Omega rocks!
now choices choices choices.....
I will explane my experience with buying an Omega. Long time I was waiting to be able to purchase this beautiful thing. The watch in my mind for all the time was Bond full size. Of course automatic. Then I saw a new version of SMP. 22545000. I really loved that watch and the sword hands. This watch was beautiful, but something was just not for me there...but at that moment i didn't know. So finally I could go and buy this watch!!! Oh that was a great day! I came in to dealer in VA and just said, yes I'm interested in 22545000, and the women there said "Oh, U did your homework" :-)))U know exactly what u want. And I was holding it on my hands, putting to my wrist for final thought....BUT SUDDENLY....I asked to show me 22558000. OHHH!!! That was exactly what I wanted!!! I cannot explane ho happy I was that I saw a blue dial!!! It was somehow reminding the bond because of the dial colour and at the same time it was that new look of new smp!!! once I put it on my wrist I knew that is what I want!!!! I knew that is the watch!!! The big big difference is in the bezel i think! It is stanless steel, and it makes the watch look different than usual dark colour bezels. It looks more classy I think. Also the colour of dial is so nice! I usually like black dials, most of my watches are black. But this time by getting blue dial I got couple options, because during the day, it is blue, when you're not under a spotlights which usually dealers have in stores the watch dial looks completely different. I will suggest to grab the watch and go outsiade and look how the colour of dial will change, that exactly was what I did. I asked them to go outside and to see the dial colour in normal lights...ohhh, it was much much darker than inside of the shop...and at night it looks exactly as a black dial! no difference whatsoever. If you sitting in the bar at night the watch looks as a black dial, but with the stell bezel!!! The contrast is so nice!!!
Sorry it took so long, but I just wated to share my experience with getting blue dial SMP. I hope it'll hel you to choose the right SMP for you!!!!
Good luck!
