What watch do you wear?

Went and tried this on earlier. The stainless steel new Seamaster 300 Master Co-Axial.
This version is £4,100.00. The titantium version with the blue bezel is £5,690.00

I'm not a fan and definitely doesn't look like a £4k watch
I like it, but for me it needs a date on the dial. Which it will never have because of the link with the previous watch from 1957.
There are better photos of it here: http://www.bexsonn.com/blog/omega-seamaster-300-master-co-axial/

Polished centre links don't work with the matte dial imo

You guys already know I'm not really an Omega fan (though mostly the modern SMPs) but that above is darn ugly especially given the price! I'd feel cheated paying 4k for it, let alone the Ti version at even more.

Usually like Omegas but that is fugly

I'm really not liking that Seamaster. Did you try it on down at a beach from a 'bling bling' man? 
Perhaps in the flesh it looks better?

No not even a "Rolex" fan although IMO they make the nicer cases out there and have some of the better crown/clasp mechanisms 
If I was looking at a throwback to a vintage era watch I'd almost certainly go with a red Tudor Black Bay:
And simply throw a middle finger up at the social politics surrounding base movements.
Edit*
But at a budget of say around £500 then Steinhart are very hard to beat and they have plenty of choice in designs.

Tudor is Rolex....for about 80 years it is basically the same watch, same casing, with a different name
The denial goes deep....it's only a matter of time before you get one

Yes I'm aware but you completely missed the point
Yes they're made in the same factory by the same people and to the same quality standards but they are visually very different in style direction. While Rolex models have changed with the times to suit public desire in bling Tudor has''t and strays more into its own style each new model as seen on the current line.
I'm not a fan of the Rolex divers, I never was and never will be but can see why people like them, they're great I just don't like the blingier designs is all. The Tudor divers don't have that same bling.

I never said you are going to get a submariner, I said Rolex, and it's only a matter of time. 
Mrk - What happened to this which last year you were lusting over?

Have you seen the new Heritage 1973? It's bloody brilliant looking!
Spec:
Sapphire glass front and back.
40mm size.
Longines Caliber L688 Column Wheel movement with 54 hours power reserve.
SuperLuminova markers.
Alligator strap.
It's around the £2k mark. Definitely want.

The Pelagos happened^ I knew nothing of Tudor back then, I didn't even hear of the name until some weeks before buying it
And let's face it, that Longines is far nicer than the Omega posted above and it's more than half the cost!

'Tis a lovely Rolex.
I thought it was a Steinhart

Bling? just because something isnt matt titanium doesnt mean its bling ffs
Man of Honour
You do realise bling is also just another word for shiny right? If it's polished it's shiny/blingy.
The Subs do have a lot of bling. Deal with it!

yeah a rolex sub is blingy
ill wait until you get your next new watch and listen to 6 months of how its the best watch in the world bar none
curiously you havent mentioned longines since you got the tudor, which is odd as the hydroconquest was the best watch imaginable when you had it
