    I am ready for change but could do with a little persuasion.
    I love having a nice watch but am definitely not a collector, more of a wearer.
    Whatever I have is worn daily for work, play and social.
    I have personally never seen the point of having money sat there doing nothing (several watches in a display case). I have other uses for that cash.
    Anyway, back to the question for open debate and opinions.
    Should I sell my PO and replace with what I think is an almost perfect watch, the diver 300m in black?
    Looking forward to many yes responses to push me forward!

    I would do it. I really love the new Diver 300m. O will definitely buy one one the future. Black or white dial with a rubber strap. Unsure which version.

    I would say do it!

    Maybe both would be a better option.?

    Switch between the two depending upon your mood

    What do you think Happy, should I do it?
    I've really enjoyed this watch but the more I see the 300m, the more I want it.
    I had the original (Bond)b wave dial and sold it with great regret.

    If it’s almost the perfect watch I say get the SM

    I like your thinking but my wife is very vigilant and notices everytime I change and asks " did you manage to sell the old one!"

    If it is ‘almost’ your perfect watch, perhaps you should wait for perfection (if there is such a thing) to come along?

    Haha, simple answer to the wife is.

    I haven't sold it yet but have a couple of people interested. "I'm not going to give it away"

    Try and keep both as they are both great watches, and only having two they will both get plenty of wrist time.

    I like the PO better, by far. The SM300 is a fine and beautiful watch and ultimately if it’s design is more appealing to you then.... I dj t get why you’re even asking.

    but personally I think the PO is a classic that shares more DNA of the vintage diver. I like the markers better, I like the hands better, I like the non waves dial better. I really like the metal bracelet on the PO better than the sm300, by far. If you want to use rubber then that’s a mute point.

    Could the PO maybe be more of a flexible design without the orange numerals? Probably, although I actually love them.

    I think you’ll eventually miss the PO.

    I would go with the SMP. Improved movement.

    I’m sorry, but am I the only person whom does not like “wavy dials”?
