I like it very much and have the Spectre and the regular version. For the regular one, it's much better on a NATO. The braceet is too shiny. The Spectre bracelet is much better as it's brushed. But the 300 on a grey black Omega NATO looks fantastic and is IMHO one of the best diver out there

I tried the Titanium on Titanium model and I was surprised (and a bit turn off) due to how light it felt - almost a cheap feel to it. Its price tag however was nothing cheap! 馃槻 Is definitely a very photogenic watch! 馃憤
I have the titanium and I agree with you I regret it

The titanium really is extremely georgeous but wears like two watches on top of each other.

That is a good description

That's interesting, all the red about the Titanium feel. I haven't tried it on but I can see how it would be an odd feeling as it is described.

I think the PO is a better looking watch.

The SM300 dimensions though are more manageable than the PO. It is not nearly as big.

The SMP 300 is a nicer looking watch that sits at a nice height off the wrist unlike the PO monster Sherman tank. I hope one day the 300m has the 8500 in it, then it should be no thicker than an aqua Terra date model which is not as thick as the PO or the AT day date.

I have the SM300 SS and agree with @friendharry that it looks much better on a Nato strap. With an Omega OEM strap it completely changes the watch: it become classy, elegant and understated: closer to a JLC dive watch and more interesting than a no-date Sub.

This is the only modern Omega I have, and it is an excellent watch with the right mix of vintage feel and modern features.

Wow. I saw this 2x over the Summer. Once in Europe and once in NYC. Was never really impressed with it.

I would never call it bulky and blingy, I own the Spectre 300 MCO now it is so comfortable on the wrist.

imo, perfection.

I tried one on yesterday and really liked it. Wears smaller than a sub, but felt heavier to me. I liked the titanium version a lot, even the weight, you would forget it was there. Also went to a small GTG yesterday, one of the guys was wearing it across the table from me and the first thing I noticed was the PCLs.

I have to agree I think the SM300 looks awesome on the Nato strap (and i'm not a fan normally). I had it on the bracelet initially but thats in the box never to come out now! RE: titanium, I agree. I tried on the 42mm PO titanium and my very first thought was 'cheap' which you associate with it being feather light, weirdly however, it felt good on the wrist and not so light!?

I've had the standard SM300MC for the past 4 months or so and love it. Though my PO's and AT still get plenty of time in the rotation I've really enjoyed everything about the 300.

Agreed. Maybe will blow part of my bonus on one. The more I see them on NATO straps the more I want one.

A question on lume. I noticed above it is blue and second hand is green but my Spectre 300 appeared to be all green when I looked? Bought from an Omega retailer btw.

I have had mine for almost 4 months now. I really like it, and it gets the majority of my wrist time these days. Comfortable, and I think the perfect size. I wouldn't want anything bigger. (my wrists are 7-1/2").

I went in thinking I would buy the titanium with the blue face, but for some reason, I liked the standard black dial better. I haven't tried it on a nato or other straps yet, but may soon. I like the pics above.

Maybe you have to turn the bezel to activate the "countdown" feature to set off a bomb or something. Q Branch didn't teach you properly I guess.
