After owning my blue SMP 300 for 4 1/2 years now, still love it, and the bracelet. I think the bracelet works well: hefty and masculine.

[@youtubeuser8436]

I got the white dial Seemaster since 2 years and I love it! It‘s my favourite Seamaster, amd I got 5 versions of them.

[@kopite1892ynwa]

This is the seamaster I have, on the rubber strap. Stunning piece 😍

[@ArnulfVonMetz1]

White dial stunning but black dial is timeless

[@LudokuTarantowicz]

Can’t beat gold polished Roman numerals that sparkle like jewels in the sunlight. Loving the sun ray dial man that pops!AMZWATCH watches. What a beautiful subtle piece.

[@hansdenelzen6645]

i love the Seamasters, have this white one but bought the Omega rubber strap, suits it better imo, also have the blue SMPC with the flat dial, put that one on the proplof mesh Bracelet, looks great and last but not least the best on all the 22545000 which in my opinion is still the best Seamaster to own, did i mention i love the Seamaster divers 😁

[@hemantishwaran5741]

Still prefer the black wave. Legible in all lighting situations and a strap monster.

[@scollyutube]

I have a Sub and blue SM300 too. Like both and are different enough to rotate. I do like the non tapering bracelet, feels and looks solid and definitely identifies the watch.

[@texex9251]

Had the white dial for a year but never bonded with it so I let it go. I do have the blue dial and the NTTD and love both. Omega sells an OEM deployant clasp for the rubber strap on this watch. It is fantastic.

[@Ronald-g3z]

Man, great video! I haven't had the chance to buy one yet, but it's coming! I love the size and heft personally. The white looks amazing.

[@chrisfogarty9775]

I own the Tokyo I think the blue bezel and white dial makes it look really nice

[@tcphoto]

I love my Speedmaster 3570.50 and Seamaster Chronograph Blue dial 2225.80 both have their own personalities. The White dial is next on my list, I like the heft of the case and bracelet in the Seamasters, they are tools and I'll wear the Moon watch if I want a light watch.

[@jimlittle5769]

Still prefer the iconic blue, my first real luxury watch, but the white is lovely.

[@LegalEagle0007]

Great video. The Diver 300m is my favorite watch. I have the blue, black, and green bezel/dial ones. (Big Bond fan lol). I don't mind the bracelet at all. I wouldn't miss the helium escape valve if they ever decide to get rid of it though. I think 42mm is a great size dive watch. I also don't mind the thickness. It's a dive watch after all.

[@coronetmag]

Thank you, Bruce. Just acquired the 43.5mm ceramic Seamaster. The unboxing is on my channel

[@martinkaplan1805]

Couldn’t agree more. I love my white SMP, and haven’t seen it on another wrist which, given its popularity, seems odd. But then again, where I live I see mostly Apple Watches. I put it on the OEM black rubber strap right away,but recently put it back on the bracelet and I’ve fallen in love with it all over again. Go figure!

[@okidoki2952]

Same👍

[@laurablockley1269]

I love the seamaster line. I’ve got the current version in black and the electric blue in 36mm. Every time I look at the current omega seamaster I think it’s the best looking watch and my favourite, compared to Tudor black bays and Rolex subs etc but this current version is the only one they didn’t do a mid size version of as well and I think they missed something with that. Every time, I think it’s the best looking watch, but it’s just a bit too big. Right now struggling with keeping it or moving it on and stashing the money for when they finally release a new version….whenever that may be!

[@jeremydahm2124]

Love the current SM. I have the Brosnon automatic. I believe if Omega could make that watch again with an adjustable clasp they'd sell out. Just over 11mm thin that watch on that bracelet is great with a pinstripe suit or a scuba suit or anything in between.

[@pelimartinez]

I have the automatic electric blue Seamaster up for sale, excellent condition if you are interested. I am a fan of your channel, so happy to making it happen 💪

[@tyranelewis7763]

no need to thin the case. it's a watch of its own. the case thick is great for what the watch is truly designed for. I love the HE valve. it's the character separator from others just like the Panerai has its signature locking crown design that separates it from others. when you see them from afar you know what it is. I own the Grey Dial Diver 300M, creamsicle Planet Ocean and Blue dial Aqua Terra. I am looking to get a Panerai because I have always loved the design of them.

[@endlesseight]

I put a 3861 bracelet with micro adjust clasp on my white dial SMP300 and it’s perfect for me now. Agree with your points, a tad slimmer case, tapered bracelet, better power reserve, and smaller clasp on the next iteration would be great changes.

[@DuncanMacDonald-Korth]

Do the end links from the Speedy work on the smp300?

[@endlesseight]

No, you need Forstner bullet end links which you have to email them to order since they don’t have them listed.

[@DuncanMacDonald-Korth]

@@endlesseightmost appreciated!

[@mariopinder242]

Hey Bruce! I bought that electric blue auto 20 some years ago. I have no plans on ever selling that watch.

[@jhb072]

Hi Bruce. Liked your video. Your content is always thoughtful and insightful. Somehow if Omega can take a step towards refinement they will make an already compelling watch a must have. The one Daniel Craig sported might be that watch. Do you think the traditional five link can have a taper or how about pulling out a speedmaster 1450 bracelet update for the next generation?

[@dissident_mantis7]

Still a fan of the blue. One the g I have noticed is that the white seems to wear bigger due to an optical illusion.

[@j2dlyc]

Got the white dial SMP and the Peter Blake 2254.50 and love both for different reasons. I really disliked the modern bracelet at first, but it’s grown on me a lot.

[@WildManActual]

The NTTD needs to be priced $800-1k more than the standard line instead of nearly double.

[@affegorilla1299]

It’s so good!

[@cyclelife9179]

should i get a used one of these, or a new tudor bronze 43? I want a big daily I can use and abuse! which will look the best down the road

[@Zwikster]

Tokyo 2020 Olympics SMP is the best colour way by far. Same white dial but blue bezel and the hands/hour markers change colour from black to blue in the glare/reflection.

[@newgunguy4176]

@@chrisfogarty9775 Ok. Just drop the gay ass "way."

[@defenstrator4660]

If I bought an Omega this would be the one. That said, I do not want a presentation box. One of the things I like about new IWC s is that they give you a leather watch case that you can actually use instead of a big box that will sit in your closet.

[@Menachem59]

The 8900 movement is not an objective upgrade as you stated. It is movement with a jump hour feature. That feature is at the expense of the quick date adjust, so it's a downgrade there. If you travel a lot maybe you'll like the 8900. If you don't leave your country too much, it can be a small pain. I stay in Israel as much as I can so I went for the 8800.

[@michaelkessler9467]

Never bit the bullet as I’m pretty certain I’ll get bored of it. The dial is too busy and will become an issue. Trust me, I’m no Rolex fan, however I’ll stick to my 16613 & 116613 if I want to wear a diver

[@toneswinger]

My favourite Seamaster is the 300 heritage and i own the blue version

[@excelerater]

I own the White Ceramic seamaster,my only Omega .Pretty watch but clunky and wish the bracelet tapered

[@SaltyWatchCollector]

It's down to the white or the green for my favorite

[@731Woodworks]

I have the black black and love it! So nice! I have the white ceramic on my short list to get next.

[@diegom.8773]

White dial with rubber strap and nttd for me please!

[@FightGenius98]

My favourite is the smp 60th anniversary bond with the blue dial and the mesh bracelet it’s absolutely gorgeous, only issue is it’s overpriced and not as available smh

[@FRonTLinES10064]

It’s available, just ask your Omega boutique and they’ll have it for you in max a few weeks

[@khronokraze]

This was the color that made me consider the new seamasters when it was first released and before it really got super hyped up a little bit afterwards. I sure think this is probably my favorite colorway. Maybe next to that Tokyo Olympic Edition with the blue bezel and accents.

[@vantage789]

Can anyone confirm if the white dial Speedy has the same lucious silky smooth white dial as the white Seamaster? Haven’t yet seen it in person.

[@SergioSanto02]

The speedmaster is enamel only, while the seamaster is ceramic with laser cuts waveform. It's a pretty big difference to me.

[@vantage789]

@@SergioSanto02 Yeah the wave part is obvious but is the rest of it the same?

[@mindfulawareness1]

Previous gen 41mm. Black dial. No waves. Personal taste.

[@krasnaludek298]

The Swiss version costs thousands & Chinese version about $200.

[@prnuvsharma55]

Owned the white and the seaweed green. Kept the green. Great video as always, Bruce.

[@Neptungarden]

The Green Seamaster.

[@martinwilliams9098]

Gorgeous watch ,went into my local AD yesterday to buy the white seamaster but walked out with a Zenith El Primero Will get this seamaster in a few months

[@BruceWilliams]

That is a great duo

[@anthonystevens8683]

I could not agree more Bruce on your preferred choice of SMP300M although I have not worn the other colourway options but I have seen them to have a look. I've had my white dial version for some years now and do not intend to part with it anytime soon. It just works for me. I too would prefer the 8900 movement a little over the 8800 but it is close. If I pick it up after a week or so it is quick to set the date on the 8800. At one point I pondered selling it to get the white dial with the blue hands, bezel and markers Olympic model but I'm pleased that I kept my model as it goes with everything.

[@venomk08]

I own the white seamaster and love it. Plus it's a strap monster, I'll soon be adding the white Speedy for the perfect 2 watch collection.

[@WatchesBeAwesome]

I have the white dial and the NTTD - I love these!

[@eljayr4669]

Back in the day I could have bought the Brosman but I didn’t like the skeleton hands. I found the contrast ratio of hands and dial difficult to read. Instead I bought the electric blue quartz and I still have it today. When they brought out the white dial 300 the contrast was there and I snapped it up straight away. It is my daily and the price has gone up since I have owned it by about 1200 dollars. A ridiculous amount but I will never sell it. It is very accurate, reliable and a keeper.

[@Watch_Papa]

We’ll see if it’s smaller when that Daniel Craig one comes out. Wondering if that’s the new model or just a special edition

[@theofficialpeterkim]

I wish they would get rid of the helium escape valve and use a different type of metal bracelet.

[@fullymechanical9055]

In the manual it says the He crown has a red ring, so the user knows if it is open or not. My seamaster doesn't have this feature, just wondering what others have experienced, thanks.

[@martinkaplan1805]

I just checked and when I looked closely I could detect a touch of red.

[@galaga8834]

The SMP needs to get rid of this cheesy deep wave dial and should go back to the more subtle wave dial like the Bond 60 year anniversary.

[@ofir5000]

Can you do a video about your all time favorite watches? Thanks

[@agisthename13]

I just picked up the green rubber strap

[@MCMXI1]

Beautiful. Except that the skelotonized hands have just never worked for me

[@youtubeuser8436]

It‘s part of the DNA of the watch. Just like the helium valve.

[@MCMXI1]

@@youtubeuser8436 Uh hu. And? Nice job upvoting your own comment though.

[@youtubeuser8436]

@@MCMXI1 I see…you deleted your answer to my coment, before I could answer. Obviously, because you recognized you wrote nonsense! 😀 Nevertheless, here is my answer to you deleted comment: The skeletonized hands are part of the Diver 300M since the first Gen of the watch, introduced in 1993! So they are part of the DNA! Same for the helium valve, the 5 link bracelet and the wave dial. Have a nice day!

[@MCMXI1]

@@youtubeuser8436 Yep, when I noticed Bruce was talking specificallly about the 300M I corrected my comment because my deleted reply was referring to the DNA of the entire line. It's the grown up thing to do. Now, specific to this model, as I said the skeletonized hands have never worked for me. It's an opinion that he asked for. No one is denying your fact that it's in the "DNA." Speaking of deleting things, nice work deleting your upvote. 🤣🤣🤣

[@lonewolfemcquade8133]

This one Seamaster I would like to own is the Omega Seamaster Big triangle 165 024. It's the BEST Seamaster ever made

[@KeepingWatchUK]

So it falls down to the Submariner on every point except the presentation box!? 😂 Joking aside it’s a fine watch, but it looks 90s to me & not as timeless nor as classy as the Sub imho.

[@wristopia4101]

Blue Planet Ocean is the True Seamaster! 😈

[@tschoy9388]

Nice watches, but I cannot afford. Thank you.

[@LouisMorales-zx3jm]

White IMO is the best color.

[@hemantishwaran5741]

Adding the 8900 will push the price up to AT and that’s not good. Thinning could be acceptable by removing the exhibition case back and closing it off on direct competition to Rolex

[@georgetown8986]

Love the white Seamaster. However, that metal band is absolutely atrocious.
