New Seamaster 300

[Ghost0481]

The numbers on the bezel of the black one should be lumed and not only the numbers of the dial. Instead the numbers on the bezel of the blue one are not lumed in the gen as @chrisat correctly observed

Ahh, thanks … that was my fault

Whats wrong on the bracelet in your opinion?

I think the strap doesn't taper correctly from the lugs to the clasp

Puretime doesn't show the bezel numbers glowing on the black one.

In first example i've seen, bezel is unidirectional.

Sorry, i've typed that in wrong in message above.
Bezel ISNT unidirectional, instead it IS bidirectional*

Seems like there may be some discrepancies with the first batches

To me it looks as if Puretime has uploaded the identical lume photo for the Black and the Summer Blue. Theonewatches even uploaded the identical photo for the caseback for both watches (the Poseidon caseback from the Summer Blue), they only replaced the photos where you can actually see the face of the watch and all other photos are identical.
I guess these TD photos are not very reliable yet.

Ah that makes sense. If someone gets the black delivered with a lumed bezel, I'm in

Do they wear very small. Is some of the wrist shots they spear pretty small. I have 7.25 inch wrist, I can easily wear 44mm Rolex SeaDweller but I’m wondering how this Seamaster 300 Heritage wears comparing to 41mm Rolex Sub?

I saw these models in the AD yesterday and indeed, they do look kind of small. Something I wasn't very keen on. Matter of taste I guess.

The black one seems correctly lumed on the bezel too in this picture

Yes , it’s confirmed! Also the black one has the correct Glas case back! The only thing which is different to the gen is that the bezel rotate in both directions …

I wonder if it's hard to convert it to unidirectional by yourself? It's a little sad that VSF makes such small mistakes (that no one will notice, but you keep thinking about them).

I think they have matched the main parts very well and close to gen. Nobody will recognise that the bezel is rotating bi-directional instead of uni. It’s a very good rep from a beautifull watch ..

I know, excessive perfection makes no sense

My smartphone struggles to capture a real view of this watch. When I find some more time, I will take some photos with my DSLM.

Thus is a bit truer with the colors:

Nice one! would be awesome (but Not Like gen ) with a green dial …
Got mine with black dial in the way …

This is so promising, but I really hope they do the navy blue version (not summer blue). That would be my dream rep.

 

[superflysocal]

So the summer blue version doesn't have a clear caseback?
