I got this back in 2018, Jesse.
Unfortunately, it was a ‘casualty’ when I acquired my Fifty Fathoms 70th Anniversary Act I at EWC! This was a barista at Jaho’s in Salem. I gave him an extra tip for the request for the logo. He was an amazing artist!
Tough call… What Color do you Prefer ?
Especially when both aren’t an option 😂 At the AD, I am obsessed with both colors. The green is more unique, the blue, more classic. But both are absolutely stunning, striking and emotion evoking to me. Can’t decide… What color for you? *Images borrowed f...
Mark, thank you for weighing in!
It seems to be an easy choice. Blue is also the most versatile, no? If I get the blue, I feel like it will be redundant to my most tenured piece, the BB58 blue. So then I’d very likely sell the Tudor in that case 😵💫 😵💫
Stunning Mark!
I completely understand why. Honestly, one cannot go wrong with either color on the SMP 300. I didn’t even know you had this one. When did you get it? How did the Barista know to draw an Omega symbol in your drink, or is this AI?? 🤔 😂😂

Ian, hope all is well my good friend! 🍻
As you know, the green is very charming, and it is the PERFECT shade. Add the wave texture of the laser-cut ceramic dial and there’s a lot to love here. In this scenario, I’d be more likely to keep my BB58 after all because it’s blue
Tough call
Really depends what else is in the collection, blue is the classic choice hence I'd be tempted by the green one but I think I'd prefer a different shade of green such as in the rolex sub or Sinn 103 Sa G.
Thank you for your reply Arronax
In this case my two other divers at present are Tudor BB58 blue (longest tenured piece) and Longines Legend Diver 39 mm green. Lately I’m feeling a bit bored with those two, so it may be time for a change. If I get the green SMP, I may keep the BB58 blue....
Are you considering non omega?
Longines Legend diver and Panerai Submersible come to mind.
I already have the Longines Legend Diver 39 mm green
At this pre owned price point, nothing else is really exciting me at the moment. Thanks
If you were designing this watch
Would you make the red text white, on the blue dial? Thanks
Yes, that might work.
Worth a try to see if the red text might work on the '300m / 1000ft'?
I hate to be that guy…
get both, please…you won’t be happy just getting one over the other…oh…that would be me 😂
Greg, hope all is well my friend!
Yes, collecting can feel like that sometimes , right? 😂 It’s been a cold, snowy winter, and based on last snow storm you may have even gotten more the us in Mass! Hope you’re ready for spring like I am 👍🏻
Tough call.
I'd go with the green for personal reasons: my first watch as a kid had a green dial!
Thanks Thomas
I did try the strap at the AD. It’s nice. However I will say the SMP 300 bracelet is one of the most comfortable I’ve ever tried. So that is my preference
For me…
The blue would be more practicable in terms of my wardrobe 😁🤷🏻♂️ But would prefer both without a date 😉
Yes indeed KMII!
The blue is more classic and versatile. No date is better on this watch, but then it’s more $$. So the Bond 60th anniversary for you then? Thanks for your comment 🙏🏻🍻
I know, right?! 🤷🏻♂️
Last I checked Rolex actually charges you more for the date model 😂
So…
The only reason I’m on the fence is the red Seamaster treatment. I am a total sucker for that kitschy red Seamaster (which I have on my PO Chrono) that really makes Omega well…Omega. If not for that I would be firmly in the green camp. Geez…I forgot the r...
Your comment is most appreciated 🙏🏻
I’m leaning green. It’s more unique and that shade is absolutely perfect!
I consulted my guru if you were going to go . . .
. . . with green. His reply? "It is certain." 🪄 ...
Here, I must choose the green.
The red small red touches on the blue don't work for me. But I like everything about the green.
Thanks for weighing in MichaelC!
That is interesting, you are the second in this thread that has commented that the red accents on the blue dial are not for them. I think the blue is attractive but leaning towards the green !
