It would, for sure...Eveyone thinks I hate that watch, I don't. You will not find a single post of me saying I hate the watch. I went to the store to buy it twice already and has the benefit that it is pretty much the only diver around that my wife likes. I only had 2 little things to say about it that stand out a little. They don't ruin the watch or make it a bad or an ugly watch and I think by far I have said in the last months more good things than bad about it, but they are just two things that make me chose to get something else on my list first. The first time I went to get it I got the AT instead, the second time I ended up with a Rolex Explorer 1. That does not mean that the SMP300MC is not a beautiful watch, or a great watch, it just means that right when I try it on both times I ended up passing because something else caught my attention a little more. TBH the patina I get, because it is beautiful, I rather there was a version without it but that is not a because it is not beautiful as is (and I ave said that before as well) the balance of the markers yes, i admit, somehow don't quite work (for me) maybe in another life I was killed by someone wearing an SMP300, maybe I am just a little short sighted (I am) but it is what it is. The watch is almost perfect, the bezel the sandwich markers, the dimensions...I just don't like that one whiting about it.
There are plenty of people that dislike the 39mm explorer 1 because of the ratio of the minute hands to the dial as well as the size of the crown...it is on everyones book a design flaw over the 36mm one. I still got he 39mm because those particular issues don't bother me as much. The Panerai Radiomir I have has also a faked age numeral patina...I still got it because I love the overall design of the watch, even at 46mm which is a little off the wall by itself, but I like it...maybe one day I'll get this watch and I'm sure I'll love it as well, but at this moment as much as I want to when i put it on it's not what I"M looking for.
Not sure why that is haunting me around the forum like I freaking committed murder though.
