So I currently own a black dial SMP 300M and a blue dial PO 43.5 but have been lusting after a SMP 300M chronograph. Not really digging the sliver dial version and while the two-tone versions are attractive I don’t think they’re really me, so that leaves me with the black and blue versions.

I love the stark aesthetic of the black version, particularly on the rubber strap but the blue feels like classic SMP. Looks like the blue is a little more vibrant on the SMP than the blue I have on the PO and I suspect would be a better compliment with my black 300M.

Pics below for reference but any pros and cons from current owners? Pics would be greatly appreciated as well

Black looks the crisper of the two to me, but that’s just a personal opinion.
For the non-chronograph, I really couldn’t pick between black and blue.

One of the beauties of situations such as this is that you can allow the deal to make the decision! Between the two there is no wrong answer, so go for the one you can get a better deal on 😎

I tend to make most of my dial color decisions based on how they fit in my watch assortment, unless there is a clear cut "must have"

Good advice for sure. I have far more black in my collection so leaning towards the blue here for variety sake. That said a little leery of it being TOO blue but doesn’t seem like that’s the case.

Have you seen the blue in person? I think it looks great - not too loud. You can dress it down at the beach or wear it with a suit without looking out of place.

But, I agree with everyone so far: both options are great. Sorry, I don't have any personal pics to share. I wish I had the budget for one of these right now. 😁
