: Poor sales. But I attribute that significantly
: to the case design. It really is one of the
: less elegant Seamaster styles they've had in
: a while.

Shame about the case design. I actually like it alot, although I traded the band for that of a mid-size SMP since I like that powerful-looking solid-block clasp.

: The thing to do would be to replace the hands
: with ones off a similar Seamaster model --
: such as the non-skeleton hand versions of
: the Seamaster 120 series.

I thought about that, but all of the SM-120 models seem to have silver-colored hands, which would get lost on my silver dial. This watch presently has black skeleton hands, which is why I though about having them filled. I got this idea from a chat-thread on a similar web site. I've sent a note into Omega service to see if they can help me with this. No response yet....
