I always a fan of ceramic watches as I had a Rado full ceramic watches and it shine like the first day I bought after 1 years of daily abused. Hence, I decided to get a high end watches that made out of ceramic. My initial shortlists are Panerai 441, Omega DSOTM, Omega GSOTM. I did try the Grey side, although the grayish metal and the platinum dial is cool, but I feel that it looks a bit dull without the jeweler store light. I noticed that the Panerai 441 case back and buckle is only made from titanium, opposed to Omega’s crown, pusher, buckle, bezel are all fully made from ceramic.
FYI, DSOTM launched in Baselworld 2013 with a ceramic buckle, it is the first production Omega watch with a full ceramic case. However, in November 2015, the original DSOTM is actually update with a ceramic/titanium deployment claps with additional about RM3k price. The one with buckle still on sell though. I decided to get the deployment claps to reduce the possibility of dropping the watch. A broken case DSOTM will cost 7k USD to fix.
Most ceramic watches have a single finish over the entire case. I am impressed that omega is able to manipulate both brush and polish finish. It is very difficult to make brush finish on a ceramic case due to its extreme hardness. The tachymeter is engraved with laser and the scale is filled with chromium nitride.
The hands is made out of 18k white gold and the strap is nylon cordura. Initailly I was quite reluctant to accept its cordura strap. However, after trying it, instantly thrilled by it. It fit nicely and comfortable on wrist and portray some stealth and tactical look. It would be better if the red stitching is on the front side of the cordura instead of back side. The case do sparkling shine under indoor mall’s lighting which is what I after for.
The large case back window definitely draw my attention when I first saw it. The decoration is up to my taste. I just look at the case back frequently than the front, LOL. DSOTM is equipped with Co-Axial Caliber 9300 COSC certified. Although some speedmaster and seamater do have the similar movement decoration, I just feel that the black ceramic and the larger window just make the movement more pop.
I bought it from Lisbon, Portugal with pretty good price with additional free OEM leather strap compared to the price I surveyed in KL
PS: A guy from my tour group passed the custom easily with his 3 newly bought Tag without any inspection at the custom.. However, my Omega got a detailed inspection from the custom, they checked the box, warranty card, certification, serial number, and resit of the watch.
Here are some of the photo with Omega throughout the trips.
Happy Collecting,
TWS.

Congratulations on your new piece from a fellow DSOTM owner. Would like to know what is that strap on the watch in the 5th picture? It looks like a silicon strap to me. Is that an OEM or an aftermarket strap?
Where to get the OEM silicone strap? And how much it cost?

Hi, that is not OEM strap, not silicon... It is Italian NBR rubber from a brand called Bonetto Cinturini... About rm200 online
All PM sent.. notify me if haven't receive

Congrats on your new catch. I have tried on the DSOM in KL which comes with a nylon fabric strap as compared to the leather one shown on your pictures. I agree fully on your comment this watch wears very comfortable on the wrist.

Nice Piece :thumbsup: . Do you have problem when trying to pull the strap out of its current "hole", I found the "red circle" part will scratch the side wall of the strap. :Scolding:

Just tried changing the length of the strap for the 1st time a few try just now. The 1st time trying, the strap is still hard and yes the "red circle" part did scratch the side wall of the strap. Luckily the scratch mark on my strap is not obvious as compared to your glossy leather strap. More careful on the 2nd and 3rd try and the strap now feels slightly softer and I manage to change the length of the strap without the scratch

That is the ceramic deployant buckle from DSOTM that bundle with the watch when i bought it, it fit perfectly with the rubber strap.
If not mistaken, the the ceramic deployant cost 416 euro. There is also an alternative titanium deployant that cost cheaper.
