Go get that watch! I just picked one up in blue, I was originally thinking black, but ultimately let the wife decide and the OB got a blue one on bracelet. It was the right choice!

This is the first time I have experienced this with Omega....a waitlist for a watch. Took a little over a week to get in once I was on a list and put down a deposit. No discounts on this from the boutique, but did get a free NATO.

The watch feels very well balanced on the wrist, with just the right amount of bling from the bracelet. Bezel looks better in aluminum than the ceramic and I like they thinned it out. clasp is great, small but solid feeling.

Did you have any issues with fitment for the Ed White bracelet on your 3861?

That's the apollo 50th anniversary bracelet, not the Ed White. Ed White is 19mm, so I don't think that'd work.

I used Uncle Seiko hollow end links to make it work.

Yep. I realized that after I wrote it. Lol.

Any issues with scratching against the case from the Uncle Seiko end links?

Thanks!

Not that I've noticed. It fits the seamaster pro as well, but you have to bend these tabs on the end links a bit to get them to work. The bracelet was a little bit of a PITA to get off as well. Not too much trouble but required using a normal spring bar tool instead of tweezers.

Thanks to you telling me where to look, I am now $500 poorer. LOL.

Hopefully, I will get my latest buys in the next week or so.
