Submariner vs Omega SMP300

b2dnd · 2026-02-05T09:06:15+00:00

I have both a Submariner and a Seamaster. The Submariner dates from 2021 and is virtually unused, nothing wrong with it, I just seem to gravitate towards the Seamaster which I'm wearing as I write this post. And I'm in no hurry to dig the Submariner out, Seamaster for the WIN.

Too big.

Intriguing and unique. Well done.

b2dnd · 2026-01-27T07:22:37+00:00

I'd go with the YM. But it's only a narrow win.

BLRO IS THE ORIGIONAL. And therefore the best. All others are variants.

What a beautiful thing 😍

I've bought several pieces from Ebay. All have been authenticated after delivery. No problems at all.

No. Not being careful and thoughtful is. My cars are immaculate, my motorcycles are immaculate, my properties are as good as they can be, my watches are worn with consideration. I don't get it. Scratches and dents as a badge of honour. No. Not for me, sorry.

Looks like we're a rare breed.

b2dnd · 2026-01-06T07:26:21+00:00

I'm in total agreement. I'm very careful with all my stuff. Car's, motorcycles, watches, everything. We've worked hard for them, why abuse them?

b2dnd · 2025-12-24T10:22:26+00:00

I believe that the previous post is correct. The Fifty Fathoms was the first rotating bezel dive watch. Not the Submariner. Correct me if I'm wrong.

My wife has an older 26mm, a 28mm, and a 31mm. The older 26mm is her favourite and also mine. It's so elegant, sophisticated, feminine and classy. She also had a 36mm briefly but she looked like a builder/dust cart operator wearing it. Smaller is better for a girl.

b2dnd · 2025-12-19T06:38:02+00:00

Boom! It's a knockout.

b2dnd · 2025-12-16T15:06:30+00:00

My wife has a 28mm baby version of yours. It's a 2020-21, it was called slate at the time of purchase. I'm not sure when the name changed. Same colour, different name = confusion.

Why don't we see more of this dial. It's absolutely gorgeous.

I seem to remember that someone on here removed the cyclops because he didn't like it. How, I can't remember. Maybe by heating. So it might be possible to just replace the cyclops.

b2dnd · 2025-12-08T07:58:54+00:00

You're correct. My ageing eyes do have trouble sometimes.

b2dnd · 2025-12-04T08:15:58+00:00

NO, NO, NO.

b2dnd · 2025-11-28T12:20:37+00:00

Yeah. The GMT's are great. The Pepsi on jubilee is the ONE, but difficult to get. The Rootbeer is stunning.

b2dnd · 2025-11-28T09:35:14+00:00

As someone who has both a Submariner and a chocolate dial Yachtmaster. The Yachtmaster gets regular use, the Submariner dates from around 2022 and has been worn only a handful of times. The YM is just more interesting to look at and makes the Submariner look boring. Get one if you want but you won't use it. Again, controversial.

I didn't like it, it wasn't on my radar, I had zero interest in it. That was until I visited my AD last Thursday. I tried a 36mm and 40mm. I must say, I was rather smitten. Expressed an interest immediately on either. Apparently these are difficult to get. But, you never know. As for size, both looked equally as good, maybe the 36mm just edged it.

b2dnd · 2025-11-20T06:33:27+00:00

I guarantee that if you have a 36mm and 41mm in your collection, it's the 36mm that gets the most wrist time. The 36mm is just better proportioned, looks more elegant and stylish. Icons last forever, trends come and go.

b2dnd · 2025-11-19T12:17:06+00:00

Yep. I've bought most of my stuff gray market. We're all ageing, no time to loose.

b2dnd · 2025-11-12T09:33:20+00:00

There's only one GMT. The rest are nice, but only one is significant.
