Tbh I am ok with the price, I feel it is reasonable for the finishing and quality but there are some grumblings on the increase for the recent releases.

i think datejust 41 generally hold value quite well but does not hold as well as sports model.

tat said...getting a SS datejust 41 now is as difficult a task as getting a sports model...

popular dial colours like black & blue have long waiting lists..

anyone owned the seamaster pro 300m in white? does it look nicer than the other colors (black and blue)?

I only saw the blue and black in reality, never saw the white before, but in online images, it looks pretty...

What colour is that dial?

I've seen and tried on the white Seamaster professionals at a couple of Watches of Switzerland and have been very tempted. I think they look great with the contrasting black colour.
Very much personal taste in regards to versus the black or blue. I honestly think all 3 variants look really good.

Blue/black have different feel from white. White is more sporty, black/blue is more classic.
You can go to few grey dealer to see the whute version, they have stock in their shop. I remember saw it at the grey shop at far east plaza L5 last week.

Thanks for the replies Bros... I have a concern regarding Hesalite model which you might think unusual, perhaps can chime in to help me decide...

As I have read, Hesalite scratches rather easily.. even when you take good care of it... and i think somewhere along the line, it might reach a point where you can't polywatch anymore and it has to be replaced.

Now, only omega makes the hesalite that fits a moonwatch, and god forbid, one day it may stop supporting the current moonwatch model, or maybe even go out of business. If that suay suay happens, I'll be stuck with a watch with a bad crystal and no option to change.

On the other hand, I know sapphire is very scratch resistant and taking good care of it, it may never need to be replaced. So even if omega go bust, no problem.

But then I really like the look of hesalite over sapphire. The milky ring is a little too much for me.

Hmmm, am I being too paranoid, lol. Or are my fears unfounded?

I had a hesalite once, polished it almost every other week cos I OCD (and my job at that time required a fair amount of elbow grease). Polywatch really works wonders though. Like someone mentioned before, U buy a luxury sportscar you will also wax and polish it monthly, it brings some satisfaction.
