In most cases (no pun intended!), I'd agree . . .
. . . but in this instance, I will be holding off judgement until trying it on later this year. Nominal size is one matter, but there are other aspects - height, proportion, angularity, dial design - that contribute to the presentation. Or, in other words, not all 40 mm watches wear the same.
I wouldn't be a customer for one of these precious metal variants, but in steel, and preferably without a calendar complication: most definitely.
Cordially,

BaselWorld 2014 : OMEGA 2014 Collections & Master CO-AXIAL Calibres
The first step in OMEGA’s Co-Axial revolution began in 1999 with the unveiling of the Co-Axial escapement; in 2007, the brand developed the calibres 8500/8501, the first in-house Co-Axial movements; and just one year ago, OMEGA announced the creation of t...
OMEGA Seamaster 300
In 1957, OMEGA introduced its Seamaster 300 – a watch designed specifically for divers and professionals who worked underwater. The unidirectional rotating bezel and diving scale, along with the combination of a black dial, lighter indexes and large hands...
Superb. Two reserves, nonetheless...
1/ The wording at 6 o clock, which was not necessary. 2/ The sapphire case back, which is a non sense of such a diving Watch. The rest is as convincing as it is seductive. Best, Nicolas
This was "watch of the show" for me...
....in terms of which watch "drew me in" quickly and made me feel I needed to have one!! Superb.
Great! Hoping for a nice price and this one will be 2nd next
Love that Omega 300. Loved the vintage one as well but I just can't bear buying an old beat up watch with a ' tropical' dial. Rather fade one myself.
It looks really great...
...and I think it was a good idea to reissue the early SM300. Now let's wait and see how it looks like in the metal.

Characterised by its thin and classic gold case, the Trésor line was first launched by OMEGA in 1949 housing the legendary 30mm calibre within. More than half a century later, the De Ville Trésor has been introduced, equipped with one of the most advanced...
Lovely classic, though sadly too large for me
Hi Kong, thanks for presenting this Omega novelty! I would go for it on the spot as this classic case and waffle dial with the date at six is a great favourite of mine. The old ref. 2627 and 2757 display these features, but they have the modest diameter o...
The lugs and the indexes are top top top on yours, Anaesdoc. I can't agree more
With your words. Best, Nicolas.
If it only was mine, sigh!
Thanks, Nicolas, for your support! I wish the people at Omega HQ would listen. The watch is not actually mine, but I am looking to find one, preferably in steel. Have a good start in the new week, anaesdoc

I agree with your point, Art ...
pure numbers often do not tell the whole story. (The pun - "in most cases" - is great, even if not intended!) Nonetheless you may agree that even the flattest case and the shortest curved lugs cannot reduce the actual case size. On your wrist 40 mm should...
