New Seamaster Diver 300 - Nekton

[iang27]

I managed to eventually adjust the strap so can now wear it. I think I need some new screwdrivers !

It looks great, excellent quality, bracelet is a little creaky but an oil bath will sort that out.
Fitted some ventureshield protection film to the clasp as after having a Gen Seamaster I found it scratches quite easily. You can barely see it and stops any potential marks.

Here's mine. Can't wait for it to arrive.

If you're worried about having issues switching out to the rubber straps, you can probably get your TD to do it for you.

They had the curved spring bars so they switched it out for me real easy instead of me having to purchase it or bend it with a spoon lol.

Mine is on its way back to me, noise free, and decoration free. Delighted. Should be a reliable watch now

Navitimer was kind enough to permanently “loan” me his Nekton. Thought i might like it... turns out i love it. The bezel was my main concern... didn’t want something too flashy. IMO its just right. Posted on general forum already but here she is on a lovely double pearl stingray. Me likey...

Looks great Alpha Dog Omega and I love the strap, where did you get it?

Good seller/craftsman. He does straps of all types and materials. This one was $150 because it’s double pearl. If the special center section of the hide is not being used they are cheaper. I’ve ordered 3-4 from him. Only one wasn’t just what I expected - but it was still good.3-4 weeks for a strap to arrive.

Oh, same seller is HoangDidDat (funny funny name IMO)... on etsy if you prefer that platform.

Thank you for sharing this beautiful Beijing edition of the Seamaster. I am so in love with this watch! It will be released the next month so fingers crossed for VSF... I think they will rep it pretty fast

Just received the watch this afternoon. The movement is crazy noisy. Gotta get it serviced immediately..

Any idea when the blue dial Beijing 2022 version may be released ?

Yeah this is beautifuuuuul. VSF take my money! (as long as it's a good rep) I hope they get the bezel and lume markers color right.

Anyone care to estimate how long it will take VSF to come out with this? They moved pretty fast on the Nekton

Well this watch will only be available in Jul 21. I’d say if they really do rep it, maybe end of the year? I want them to hopefully get it 95% right on the first try like they did with the Nekton!

Looks really nice but too big for me at 43.5mm

Yup, agree with you, I was all disappointed when I saw the size... Too big for me also.

I love the dial and hands of this new Seamaster but personally don’t care much for the bezel. I prefer the bezel from the standard ceramic case model.

I’ve been wanting a Casamigos Planet Ocean rep for so long. This definitely comes close, must have for me

Anyone knows if there's an XS/S size for the rubber strap? I have pretty small wrists and even using the last hole in the strap, it's still loose. Would loathe to have to swap back to the bracelet.
