The Summer Blue Seamaster 300M Diver is easily in my Top 5 best Blue Dial!

These are excellent pictures, I love how you managed to capture the way these dials seem to almost emit light. I think at least partly it's because the lume emits almost the exact same color that it already is, which adds to and enhances the blue instead of fighting with it.

I look forward to seeing your watch on various straps.[/

Thanks, but purely down to just pointing my phone and pressing a button. Helps that the subject is absolutely stunning though!

I’ve always found the way light plays on the ceramic dials on the Diver 300m captivating.

Finally received the new strap/deployant clasp. It's certainly easier to use over the standard strap with pin/buckle but, asthetically, I'm on the fence. Think I might prefer the standard combo. Time will tell.

Receipt shows it's priced at £325 here in the UK and I'm not sure it's worth that premium over the standard item but, as mine was complimentary, I'm not complaining!

I think it does add a little sophistication though.

Gorgeous. I wish there was a blue rubber strap that fit the SM300 as perfectly as the black 43.5mm ceramic rubber strap fits. It would be nice to have a rubber option during the summer without struggling to make it fit.

I went back and forth on the traditional blue smp and the summer blue SMP a few months back. Went with the traditional at the time.....well guess it grew on me.

 

[ErichPryde]

@KingCobb so you added a THIRD SMP? or did you trade the green? Great pickup.... I heard the summer blue production is now discontinued (but have not verified that).

I am at 4 now.

OK, you may officially have a problem! @hen would approve.

My idea of a great one watch collection!

Since you have both Summer Blue and Standard Blue SM 300 Diver in hand; are the Blue in the Bezel the same Blue or is it a bit lighter on the Summer Blue?

 

[KingCobb]

To me the blues are completely different. Summer blue is a lighter color.
