What do you guys think about the recent Seamaster releases?!

[@truthserum9157]

I couldn’t agree with you more, I just got my SMP300M in blue Sunday 4 days ago, I’ve been checking the accuracy every morning, so far it’s running a little under a half second per day fast, I’m astonished by the accuracy, I don’t baby my watches I wear them all the time to do all sorts of work, what good is a watch if you can’t wear it all the time.

[@Philtalkswatchesandmore]

Absolutely! Especially these are tool watches! Congrats on your pick up btw👍🏻 the blue one is a classic! Did you get it with bracelet or a full blue look with the rubber strap?

[@truthserum9157]

@@Philtalkswatchesandmore- I got it with metal bracelet, all my watches have metal bracelets, I like them like that.

[@Philtalkswatchesandmore]

Lovely! Have a great time with it💯

Two points! I’ve had my white SMP300 almost a year and I absolutely love it. It makes me smile when I wear it and I wear it for all occasions! The definition of a go anywhere do anything watch.

[@Philtalkswatchesandmore]

Absolutely! Glad to hear you feel the same way! I’m packing for my next trip right now and guess what it’s the Seamaster again!

[@martinkaplan1805]

@@Philtalkswatchesandmore the only thing I worry about when traveling with it, is if it’s appealing to thieves, or do they pretty much stick to Rolex. What do you think?

[@Philtalkswatchesandmore]

It depends on destination I guess. Safety always comes first!

[@TheBrah808]

​@@martinkaplan1805definitely flies under the radar when you throw it on a rubber. Took it to cebu without any issues.

[@evh4611]

LOVE my white dial Seamaster. Wear mine on a rubber strap though. The bracelet is a big chunky for me

@casual by Nature sounds great! Weather is best during that time around here.

[@seanpham67]

I still would buy it. It looks kind of quirky and nerdy but in a good way. I would go for the black dial, because I’ve already got the Aqua Terra 38 blue teak dial. The watch looks awesome on you. What is your wristsize?

[@Philtalkswatchesandmore]

Great choice! I’ve always wanted an Aqua Terra too. My wrist size is 6.5 inch from most recent measure.

[@TheBrah808]

The chrome dial is dynamic. I got mine for 4300 on bracelet in 2023. I have worn the seamaster 300m e everyday. My poor speedy gets zero wrist time.

[@MrAmexx83]

Actually 0 to + 5 seconds is wrong. If you look at the test results they mention about the difference between measuring points. The delta. Lets say for the sake of the discussion… watch is -1 secs on day one. One day later it is at -3. The delta is 2.

[@Philtalkswatchesandmore]

Thanks for the info!

[@willielee7262]

Thanks for sharing! May I ask your wrist size?

[@Philtalkswatchesandmore]

I have a 6.5 inch wrist 🙏🏻

[@khazelnut]

⁠@@Philtalkswatchesandmore The watch looks pretty big, the lug to lug span across your entire wrist. You sure it's 7"?

[@FelNiode]

Own the same as yours, change it its oem rubber strap, wears perfect.

[@Watchmeifyoucan]

Nice video ❤ For anyone looking to buy an Omega, I would rather suggest to save more and get the 60th aniversary edition … as that is a must have in 2023 and only after that I would go again for the white dial!

[@Philtalkswatchesandmore]

Thanks man! I agree, that nostalgic dial with the phenomenal case back is pretty undeniable.

[@Watchmeifyoucan]

@@Philtalkswatchesandmore if you want to check out I happen to get it :) proud owner of that nostalgic dial :) made a video about a week ago.

[@Philtalkswatchesandmore]

@@Watchmeifyoucan Oh yes! Will sure check it out later today👍🏻

[@pierr97430]

If only the 60th edition had the date .. that’s why I bought the classic blue SMP

[@Watchmeifyoucan]

@@pierr97430 If you work according to deadlines each month than a watch without a date causes less stress :) so I tend to love them :)

Got one too! Love it!

[@lancewood1410]

I would if it came in a smaller size to fit my small wrist,under 40mm would be nice.

[@Philtalkswatchesandmore]

Wouldn’t be surprised to see one as downsizing is the trend right now !

only if Omega made a bracelet tapering from 21 to 18 or so. And replace sharp edges

[@Philtalkswatchesandmore]

Tapering would be awesome ! Not having problems with sharp edges personally🤞🏻

... Having bought the blue coloured dial back in November 2019 when the brand new 25th anniversary SMP 300 was just released I bought it back then for just £3600.00. Now today the very same watch will cost you £5500.00! Back in 2019 I could of got a Planet Ocean for that very same money of today. I know there's inflation etc but I knew pound for pound I was buying the Omega smp300 in 2019 and they was basically giving it away! There's no justification any more going up by almost 50% in almost 4 years? I do like your white one though very nice pal.

[@Philtalkswatchesandmore]

Thanks for your comment! I know right…these prices are going out of hand 🥲 can only bargain for more discount at the AD.

[@Mega-zi7ys]

But aren't you glad the prices went up rather than down? The pieces you have will have more "value" to you. 🎉

[@Philtalkswatchesandmore]

Thats just inflation in general 🤣 but the watch is always adding value to me as I walk thru life with it!

[@Mega-zi7ys]

@@Philtalkswatchesandmore as am certain our grandparents were saying the same thing... there's no justification for watches to cost 3,000 usd back then...

[@Philtalkswatchesandmore]

@@Mega-zi7ys Absolutely. Just gotta stick with what's comfortable to yourself.

[@cristiabc1310]

To big for your wrist and too overpriced in my opinion. A 40mm version I would consider too. Green dial is awsome.

[@jbeeches1]

the sound is bad

[@ddeboy002]

no... not until they fix the dial to work like a rolex.

[@Philtalkswatchesandmore]

What do you mean?

He means the bezel action 😅

[@thegorn]

Terrible watch

[@Philtalkswatchesandmore]

Had bad experience with it?

[@thegorn]

@@Philtalkswatchesandmore The watch is overly-fat, the bracelet doesn't taper, the bezel is ungrippable when wet, the movement has a weird beat rate, and is priced stupidly high for what it is.

[@Philtalkswatchesandmore]

Check out my video on the Citizen Fujitsubo. Might find it interesting!

[@tricster4u]

This is your opinion, i had Rolex 14060 and Rolex 16613 and both werr mile behind this watch in terms of quality and price tag. I own Zenith El primero perpetual calendar, A JLC reverso and a Breitling Navitimer and i like Omega for what it is, its a tool luxury watch, thats why it has the escape valve, thats why is big and thats why the bezels works hard because under water the pressure is high and you need a tight bezel. I like Omega for what it is, if i want a dress watch i take Rolex as versatile or JLC Reverso, Cartier Tank and such...
