    My personal preference is the 300, it's new technology with a "vintage look"

    300MC all the way. It's the one watch I don't ever plan on getting rid of.

    What size PO is that??? Looks way to small.

    It's all personal preference, and as a PO owner the 300mc is one of those "if I could have one watch watches."

    It checks all the boxes to me. Clean vintage but not old looks. Can be dressed up or dressed down, they really hit it out of the park on that one.

    seamaster 300 looks elevated, that's why it looks bigger.

    The PO is 43.5mm I tried on the 39 very small because the case is big and it makes the dial look very small

    I like the sm300 quite a bit, but I own a PO (2500c).

    +1 for 300 master coax. It is a pretty chunky watch on the wrist, and I am thinking of dressing it down with leather or NATO-like strap. It does tick more boxes for me than the other

    I own the sm300. I prefer it because of:
    1.) Historical background.
    2.) No date.
    3.) Symmetry of the dial (PO looks to me like they punched a hole in the dial where the "3" was.)

    I own both but if you have neither I would go for a PO.

    Durability
    better water resistance
    60 hour power reserve (this is a biggy in convenience)
    Modern looks.'
    See through back
    Co-axial
