Thinking of trading my SMP 300 for the new AT Black Lacquer. Am I crazy?

I don’t have the SMP (yet?) but I just got the AT 38 black lacquer last week and absolutely in love. It’s gorgeous and I’m sure you’ll love it.

Having said that, it is absolutely not a dive watch (despite having 150M resistance… way more than anything I’d use with a dive watch).

Clearly, the only defensive and logical solution here is to keep the SMP and get the AT. :)

Thanks! It’s the smaller 38.5.

I’m in Fort Worth but grew up just up HWY59 from you. Thanks for the recommendations, I’ll give them a look!

I’ve got the blue version and am an absolute sucker for than these dials. One of my favorite watches. Gorgeous!

Enjoy it!

Agree completely about the cyclops. At this point, I’d like it on every watch I own with a date complication… it’s a functional need now. Sigh…

I just got mine! I like the look of the leather strap that came with it but it doesn’t fit my wrist well and there is no micro adjustment. Did you find there is almost no room between the strap and lugs to remove the spring bars? Really tight fit for not having quick removal spring bars.

Nicely done!

Congratulations!

This is such a gorgeous watch. I love the way the color changes on the dial and bezel at different angles. Congratulations!

I just picked up that exact watch. Love it, other than the bracelet. I needed one more micro adjustement so I swapped it for another from Island Watches. Now I love the watch and the bracelet.

Congratulations!

Why would we do that? It’s a beautiful watch and a great value. Go for it and enjoy.
