However, having worn it a few times, I have to say that I absolutely love it. The bezel is something else, it has a different character in different light and it's just so easy to wear having previously worn an Omega Seamaster Professional as a daily. It goes perfectly with my suits (I mostly wear blue or grey suits) and equally well with casuals. Now I have it in rotation with my two Omegas and Tudor sub, and it's a real occasion when I wear the blnr. I intend to keep it a while, until I'm ready to upgrade.
