Hey guys.

In my collection I currently have a new SMP 300 white dial on rubber and a previous generation waveless blue SMP300. I keep the white dial on rubber, the blue waveless on NATO. I need something in steel.

1. Steel case steel bracelet (prefer brushed steel not polished)
2. No chronograph
3. Has date function
4. At least 40mm
5. Under 6.5k USD

What do you guys think? I was thinking an Aqua Terra or Planet Ocean. Leaning planet ocean because of the brushed steel bracelet. I'm hard on my watches and I'm afraid I'd ruin the shiny polished finish on the AT.

What do you all think?

Thanks

Under 6.5k you can afford most of Omega models..😀.. So tough decision for you. I would go for a Planet Ocean model..with Orange bezel..

I like the AT better since you have two divers. You can easily brush the polished links.

With what you have, I would go with the AT so you have an option for dressier occasions.

Question is whether u can handle the thickness and weight of a PO. I can't, nor the aesthetics.

AT.
You've got two divers already. Need something more formal or dressier in your collection.

maybe globemaster on bracelet 130.30.39.21.03.001?

1. Steel case steel bracelet (prefer brushed steel not polished) √ (brushed)

2. No chronograph √

3. Has date function √

4. At least 40mm
~ 39 mm mathematically, however it is visually bigger than the speedmaster professional 42mm on my wrist

5. Under 6.5k USD
~ full MSRP $7.2k at OB but possible within your budget at AD discount

i liked that globemaster in many aspects but did not pull the trigger because it "looks" too big on my small wrist, on the contrary i feel comfortable with 42mm speedmaster professional all time, weird? but true story
