I am basing this on the photos I see of the Seamaster. I think having some numbers on the face look better.
The funny thing is that this is exactly why I bought a PO and not the new 2018 diver. I can just read the time faster and more accurately from the PO and it has also a more "modern look" ... at least for me.
Well after looking at the Rolex Submariner which also has the circles, my opinion has changed and I feel a little more positive on the Seamaster. I decided I would like one in black and one blue. Lol. Thinking more seriously about the blue.
