Blansky
2907
I've only owned the older version, and the texture doesn't really translate to a computer screen.
I think a person has to see them both in the light and move them around to determine which they like better.
One thing I've always wondered are either of them really texture or are they just a paint pattern (as opposed to guilloche for example). I've never been sure because I've never had the crystal off.
Which Textured SMP Dial? 🌊
We all love texture, which oftentimes adds visual depth and keeps things interesting. One ceramic, showcasing the brands newer style. The other aluminum, representing a nostalgic throwback to the 90’s model. Both appealing. Which one for you? *image borro...

Hope all is well Blansky!
Agree 100% with the preference to try before you buy. I have found that oftentimes a dial looks completely different than the same one you see on a computer screen. I’ve owned the 90’s version, both blue and black. And that is a good question, I am not su...
I have this one and the texture isn’t noticeable unless you hold it up to the light.
Photos make it look more dramatic than it is in the metal imo.
Thanks for your comment agyzace! Omega was smart
To introduce a no date version. I understand it’s sells well, and I am seriously tempted due to the cleaner dial design
Larry, hope you’re having a great weekend!
Personally I like the look of the Omega mesh and it pairs nicely with the aluminum wave dial. Although I have not tried the mesh on yet. The traditional SMP 300 bracelet is superb and I give it top marks for comfort
Thanks for weighing in my friend!
Yes, there is something about the look of that one that instantly brings me back (in a very good way) to the 90’s 🙂
I prefer aluminum.
The nostalgic throwback is more to my taste than the modern “cleaner” ceramic. Best, Emmanuel
Most appreciated quattro!
Those are exactly the words that came to my mind when owning the ceramic dial; Clean & Modern. The waves are thicker and deeper on this model. It is also quite shiny. I was enamored with the green ceramic wave dial for a period of time. Omega got the colo...
Right one for me, please!
It’s not only the texture of the dial, but also the domed crystal the lack of date, the chapter ring, and that lovely mesh bracelet. That all makes the newer the one for me! Best. René
The lack of the date makes me prefer the right one…
At the same time I know that Omega’s mesh bracelet, even though I prefer it looks wise, sits very poorly on my wrist 😊🤷🏻♂️
Hi KMII!
Very interesting about how the mesh bracelet wears. That is too bad since it looks great. I have never tried it, but that is good to know! Thanks for sharing your experience! Experience tells me the other SMP bracelet is extremely comfortable. Do you thin...
Definitely try it first 👍🏻
I tried it on one of the Bond models and as much as it looked lovely it could not bend according to my wrist shape and then wore very uncomfortably. If it works on your wrist, it’s definitely a nice solution. As for the other bracelet, I believe it should...
Possible solution?
