I know there is room for both, but I feel I don’t need both. Both 10/10. Can’t go wrong either way. Which do you think I kept? I love these watches.

TimeRookie · 6 April 2022, 07:16 AM

Planet Ocean. The lume is better. Both great watches though. Keep them. You’ll regret selling either.

atxwatch · 6 April 2022, 07:24 AM

I personally think the SMP300 is the more versatile watch. Not as thick and slightly more dressy.

Soarer · 6 April 2022, 08:24 AM

I think you kept the SMP. What size is the PO?

Winner! I’m keeping the SMP. The PO is 43.5. It’s up for sale.

RW16610 · 6 April 2022, 08:59 AM

Glad to see you made a decision! I'm confident it's the right one, as the 300M I more versatile in a sense.

JohnGingerwood · 6 April 2022, 09:33 AM

I felt it was more versatile too and can be worn up and down. Also for some reason I prefer circle indices on dive watches. Both are 2 of the best divers you can get.

VegasBaby · 6 April 2022, 09:52 AM

Planet Ocean all day!!!!!

Greg.A · 6 April 2022, 10:25 AM

Ditch the PO

nicky77 · 6 April 2022, 10:28 AM

If I had to choose I would keep the smp 300. In reality I would keep both.

1665fan · 6 April 2022, 10:28 AM

Smp

JohnGingerwood · 6 April 2022, 10:31 AM

Lol it’s one of those debates. Tough to decide. I picked the SMP because of versatility, size, and I like the wave dial. Like I said can’t go wrong either way.

Asharus · 6 April 2022, 10:40 AM

Keep the SMP

bonovox · 6 April 2022, 10:53 AM

SMP. Good choice.

the smp wears lighter but the planet ocean is more hardcore.

i would go with the seamaster professional

danwang0520 · 6 April 2022, 06:36 PM

Tell us what is your current collection.....SMP is more of an everyday tool watch, the PO is on the heavy and bulky side due to the thick watch meant for water activity

1William · 6 April 2022, 08:48 PM

Good decision. I much prefer the 300M and I have owned both.

Strummer25 · 6 April 2022, 09:52 PM

Keep PO

vinnymac · 6 April 2022, 10:25 PM

Keep the planet ocean is my vote.

Mikegp · 7 April 2022, 01:47 AM

Keep the SMP, more iconic

brandrea · 7 April 2022, 01:50 AM

The PO is the cooler watch IMO, but the SMP wears better.

For those reasons, keep both

JohnGingerwood · 7 April 2022, 03:12 AM

It’s about split. I figured it would be. Currently I have just the two, but the plan is sell the PO and get a speedy or IWC pilot chronograph. Land and sea.

I have the speedy/seamaster combo right now, with a de ville thrown in for dress.

black/blue/silver

Looking to add a white DJ41 though.

That’s a great collection. That’s what I need to do. I like dive watches so I have mainly been acquiring those, but I need to diversify!

Thanks.

I've always preferred divers in the past. I was a one watch guy back then, so of course you want something that does it all.

When I started collecting, I realized I always gravitated to black dial watches, because I was still shopping for a "one watch" collection, so of course I wanted each watch to be black.

Then I realized I was doing it wrong. I started doing white, silver and blue.

I sold almost all of my watches outside of these 3 though, after I realized I will never wear them again. I've only kept a citizen promaster for when I know I'll be in the pool, and a g shock for the gun range.

I know, it's silly, but my seamaster has never been underwater, haha!

Me exactly. Black dial, dive watches. I think I’m good on the SMP being the dive watch now need to expand. You have never taken the SMP in water!! Blasphemy! Lol
