I'd favor incremental changes over complete redesign for the SMP 300 at this stage. The current no-date version has a lot going for it imo and already wears like a 40mm due to the twisted lugs. As a case in point, just look at the speedy pro which shares the same lug design. It does not wear larger than the theoretically smaller FOIS. I think it's more myth than reality to say the 42mm SMP 300 and Speedy don't wear well on smaller wrists.

Yet oddly I find & mainly due to the case design, the 42mm of the Seamaster suits me and wears better than a 41mm BB, which itself is just shy of 41mm.
The case structure and lyre lugs help in the regard.
When I owned a Speedy (& I get all the spec regarding its size, bezel ect). But found due to the crystal size it visually appeared larger.
They look amazing on your wrist! Even better in person I bet since phone cameras always distort the proportions. Let me guess, a 17cm wrist or slightly less?
