I personally think the Spectre is still the best, but I do like the changes Omega made on the new model. Especially with the lume.

What do you guys think of the new Seamaster 300?

I like it a lot. Gives the look of the Spectre model (lollipop minute hand), but at a lower price.

I'd be very tempted to buy this one. However, the color scheme is very similar to my BB58, so that's the only negative for me. I also really like the bronze-gold version that Omega announced, but that one is too expensive.

I like the dial of the Spectre more. The white numerals are better. The sandwich dial seems like a nice feature but creates fuss. It’s s bit over the top retro for me. Fauxtina square

Less than 4k buys you a stunning Tudor bronze.

Oh. Wow, that's a lot of money for that.

Yes, it's for all those people that want a Spectre, but don't want to pay the Spectre markup. It's interesting that they used the arrow on the bronze-gold instead of the lollipop.

Yes, completely agree on the white numerals. The faux-patina has gone overboard, but it goes well with the bronze-gold model.

The Tudor bronze is nice, but you get what you pay for. In the Omega's case, it's actually 9k gold, not a true bronze. While I think the price is justified for a 9k gold watch, it's too expensive for my piggy bank. Hence I'd opt for steel.

If I were to get this watch, I'd probably choose the blue dial. Mainly because my other divers are black dials.

It’s a nice looking watch, I would like it with white instead of tan lume and coloring. Maybe this will be done on a special edition in the future...

They look like guilty pleasure watches, nothing serious.
