yes bos, if you look closely the aquaracer has better attention to detail mainly on the dial and case back.

the seamaster have some flaws on the dial, like the lume applying is off the line and the printing isn't as god as the aquaracer.

the aquaracer's dial is perfectly flawlessas as well as te caseback.

i prefer the aquaracer bracelet, feels more solid and better finished, but the seamaster's clasp in unbeatable.

also the aquaracer wears larger, both being 41mm.

again, with omega you have a more prestigious name and a chronometer movement.

Hey Wilfredo, how are the scalloped bezels on both watches? Are they easy to turn with dry/wet hands? Can you compare it to a coin edge bezel like, for example, your 8926OB or a scalloped 8926? (grip factor, not quality, of course.)

I have always felt that this model is the quintessential Omega watch. Congratulations on acquiring one. :001_smile:

the omega scalloped bezel turns easily, at first was a little hard but now its perfect, the coin edge bezel have much better grip, my invictas are easier to turn than the seamaster and the aquaracer.
