A close up of the dial with some sun on it.
Amazing, congratulations again!! From yesterday I have shifted towards the blue, I feel it’s special and the last collection had it blue in titanium only. How’s the size and weight? I had the previous version and the 57 Seamster from the trilogy but something didn’t work out for me with these two

I am more of blue person but in this case I think black is better, its much nicer contrast with te yellow markers

size feels real good! It looks a bit smaller in diameter than my other 300 because there’s no release valve. If you had asked me to guess which was heavier I would have said the new 300 so I decided to weigh them. Shockingly my older 300 non ac w the white gold bezel is heavier but it doesn’t feel that way on the wrist.

Pics for comparison.

In order to get out of the dilemma I started looking on the bronze/gold one lololol

Yeah that’s a gorgeous one too. I wonder how much heavier gold is than the stainless models?

It comes with strap only so not much of an issue... I saw this detailed video and they say that it doesn't weight that much, nothing like a gold watch anyway

My issue is that I am not much into brown hues...

Any reason the bronze/gold doesn't have a lollipop seconds hand? That's one of favorite features of the new 300.

For the first time ever, I am going to sell a watch to help lower the price point of this one. Once I have cash in hand, it off to the AD.

Went with the black. Did not see the blue but wow, it's a nice watch.
I went with the black as well and I have no regrets. Here are a few pictures of the new Seamaster in it's element.

i have seen that in person both black and blue. black is always good but the blue is much desirable in person than in photos, somewhat deep with greenish hue.

personally I am not attracted to that blue color things from submariner

Send some photos. There is something special about that large, polished, lollipop hand.

By the way I got the BB58 two days ago so that helped me a lot to go for the blue and not the black! Here they are
