15703 out, 15710 in.
After a few years of ownership of the 15703, and long deliberation, I made the change. A bit goofy financially, but I'm loving the display back and the (less interesting but arguably cleaner looking) matte dial.

Omega Semaster Pro 2500
Now that the 8500/8400 calibers are in use, does anyone thing Omega will discontinue the older Seamaster Pro 300m with the 2500 movement? I happen to like this watch because of the solid case back the thinner profile. Jeremy

Fathers Day gift
I just recieved my 2nd Omega Seamaster. The first was a PO but it was sold last year. SUnday I reciebed a 2256.80 45mm Seamaster. I love the blue dial and 45mm size but...it's quartz. Oh well it still looks great and it went RIGHT INTO the pool yesterday. Here is a crap cell phone pic until I can get more up. I would love to hear from other 2265.80 owners.
