New Seamaster

[pdraycott]

Hi,

Anyone know when a rep of this may be available?

 

[crick]

am i missing something? i thought it was available? check WBK's section?

 

[Vric]

am i missing something?

Red Seamaster text on the dial.

Thats the new version of the normal seamaster, not the GMT. Red lettering and co-axial movement. Looks better in my opinion, I am waiting for this one too.....BUT PLEASE FIX THE He VALVE!

 

[Panama]

Yeah, fix the He Valve and the Bezel-Pearl. If its done I`m in for another SMP.
ETA 2892-2 would be nice too, but not nescessary. My 2824 runs like a chronometer.


Cheers

Yeah the 8 seems to be a little high, touching even.

I thinks we are so anal about this, but there was a post before of expensive gen watches with really bad date wheel placing. After seeing those pics, it kinda does not bother me that much anymore.

 

[e36wchmstr]

I simply don't understand, how anyone would pay thousands for a gen with a misaligned datewheel; much less how that misaligned datewheel got out of the gens' factory in the first place.

I understand the reasoning behind a rep with this flaw, but for a gen to have a visual discrepancy like this would make me walk out of the store trying to sell it.

Pfft, FTT.

If they can get the HE valve and AR it will be on my list!

 

[vaccum]

I realy like this watch.

 

[Klink]

as for misalign '8' on genuin pic...

heck, what u espek for ony $2000.00?

:lol: :shock: 8)

 

[pdraycott]

Still noone has this watch in stock yet. any idea when a rep may become available?

 

[takashi]

No idea but if you are dreaming of replica Co-Axial movement, your dream may not come true anytime soon

 

[NaviChief]

Some hi rez pics to stir up more craving and demand....we need this watch!

 

[bigdzzz123]

I would buy a new one.

 

[bigdzzz123]

Mabey even two.

SMP really is an amazing watch. If I didn't have the good old stock rep I'd buy the gen. The preowned Bond Seamasters aren't that expensive. You can find a good one in $1K - $1.2K range. This new version has a Co-Axial movement which increases the price and has a lower beat rate (which is a minus in my book). I like the smoother sweep on the old models.

All in all... it's absolutely a classic watch which has stood the test of time.

I don't know what a co-axial movement is and how this may add to the watch complexity...is there any link on this thread where i can leanr the basics about it? (used the search unsuccesfully)
