I do like it, but not sure on the Bezel. I think the original 43.5mm edges it!

the intent of this bezel was in part that it is “fingerprint proof”

as for lower legibility, that’s never stopped anyone from buying a FOIS or Tokyo 2020 as just a few examples ::stirthepot::

Looking at the all blacked out version, it's interesting as I think about it amongst other blacked-out things (knives, pens, probably other stuff not in my orbit) because with this watch, I suspect it's offered for those who want to wear a conversation starter, and a lot less about giving a nod towards the tactical this-n-that paramilitary dudes. This is a big time flex piece, in a super nerdy way, maybe.

It would be interesting to hear the impromptu conversations started over this watch in social settings. I suspect Alcubierre warp drive discussions might dominate. 😉

Not my cup of tea. Too tactical, less practical - Ha

This watch streams luxury. It might look like a foot in twenty years but today, it's modern and high end.

Personally, that is right up my alley. Absolutely beautiful piece. I would inclined to swap the rubber for a black alligator strap, however.

but then that would be shiny. looks like this is all about matte finishes.

I would pick this up if I had the money. In fact, I'd get a black black speedmaster to go with it.

I'm my head, I would feel really cool, but I assume everyone around me would be wondering who the dork is with the weird unreadable watches.

I do like the tactical look, but if tactical looks compromise on usability, I don't really get it.
Still looks pretty damn cool - but I wouldn't buy it at any price though.

I wish they'd bring all SMP300s down to 40-41mm. Too bad.

The bezel reminds me of the Rolex Yacht-Master 40.
This is one hot looking watch.
