    Hello all and greetings,

    I will make it straight forward a possible.

    If you could only have one,wich one will you choose:

    Seamaster 300m diver (2018 model with wave dial) or seamaster 300 master co axial(retro style).

    Thank you :)

    If 60th was an option then I choose that one over master co axial hands down.

    I bought the SMP. Didn't regret it for 1 sec. Much more suitable as a daily wearer

    The SMP or the 60th LE SM. The SM300 MCA wears too deep for me due to the unnecessarily fat movement. A pretty thing to be sure but not as nice as the others on the wrist in my experience. The twin barrels thing seems to have been a bit of a dead end.

    42mm 2500 PO or the Spectre edition 300mc... but that’s me.

    Simple answer but not an easy choice. Master. On the other hand......

    I have both.
    Too early to tell at this point. I can say, while I like the looks of the MC more, the new SMP is the real deal.
    Beeen diving many times in the MC and three dives last weekend in the new SMP. Love both. The SMP is, I truly believe, gonna be the Sub killer for anyone who really wants to take a watch like this in the water, and not just own as a status symbol. It says what the "pre-maxi Subs" used to say, for me: an announcement that quality is important and I bought the best watch for the job.

    SMP for me. A near perfect watch, and I agree it’s a Sub killer.

    It's not even a fair fight.

    You say that but of the two I would honestly take the one on the left (in fact I did). The SM300 sits too damn high.

    I agree. Price not as issue, I also prefer the 60th anniv LE Seamaster, but considering the price difference, SMP is the winner for me

    My vote is for the diver, but the last generation.

    [​IMG]

    I compared it to the 300 master last year, and the 300 was just not as appealing to me in person, even though I went in intending to buy one. I’ve since compared it to the new 300 Pro, and while I like some aspects (the movement, date window change, bezel), the dial and new HRV kill it for me.
