Small Seconds or Central Seconds, there are two flavors for the Seamaster 1948.
Which is exactly the same choice for the steel versions.
As you can or will see, the main difference is, of course, the weight of platinum case and the color of the indices and hands, in yellow gold for the Small Seconds, in rose gold for the Central Seconds.
The Small Seconds:
The Central Seconds.
If I prefer the leaf hands of the Small Seconds for their shape and length, I must admit that I much prefer the chromatic combination of the rose gold indices and hands of the Central Seconds.
In both cases, you will notice the discreet ( but not mandatory, at least in my opinion ) PT 950 above or under the axis of the hands.
And both are limited to 70 pieces, at Omega wanted to celebrate the 70th anniversary of this reference in 2018.
One month ago, I posted a review on the Seamaster 300 platinum and yellow gold, which commanded a " heavy " extra price.
The same goes for these 2 platinum versions. And to me, at least, it is hard to justify the extra 38, 000 Euros required for them. While the steel versions are fairly priced.
Hence my title and my question. A good bad idea?
And while we are at it, the steel and the platinum versions have a specially decorated see-through case back, which is not really my taste. A solid or a more sober see-through case back would have been better, I think.
What are your feelings, here?
Best,
Nicolas
