Are the hour markers white or cream colored. In the bright light, they look white. In lower light, they look cream. Just curious if this is what others see? Perhaps that is how white Super-LumiNova looks?

The markers, I would say are white. My picture was taken indoors with the shades down, so low light, probably that's why it looks a tad cream.

Photo of the my new SMP 300 .

Size is great.





Ended up taking two links out for a proper fit on my 7.25 inch wrist. Took one link out of both the 6 o’clock and 12 o’clock sides, leaving have 5 1/2 links on each side.

But the clasp seems a little off on my wrist. What do others see? Thinking maybe shifting 1 link from the 6 o’clock side to the 12 o’clock side…to even the clasp out. They would mean 4 1/2 links on the 6 o’clock and 6 1/2 links on the 12 o’clock side. What do others do?

I wouldn’t worry about it if it were me, but on this forum, I’m sure someone else might have a different opinion.

I am looking at both the blue and grey. They are both stunning

Congrats on the watch pedersenkl. Where did you end up purchasing from?

Yeah, the clasp looks off. I’d switch a link to to the 12 side and see how it feels.

Following, would like to know where you purchased and what the out-the-door cost was. I’m currently in the exact same dilemma. Grey prices around like $4,200-$4,400 out-the-door. AD’s are only offering me 10% discount which is still over $5k after taxes. Thanks!

Check out DavidSW's web site. He is having a end of summer sale that knocks off $375 and he has some nice prices on slightly pre-owned. Should be less than 4k and you can have it tomorrow by 12 p.m.

That is my exact setup and it works perfectly for me. 4 1/1 on 6 o’clock. Looks weird when not wearing but worked out after several trial and errors.

Great watch. Here’s mine. A lot more personality than Submariner.

Blue dial is awesome! Price isn’t bad at all. It takes a few watches to build a good rep with the Ad. I found after I got my Tudor gmt and speedy they cut me 750 off my Tudor ranger. And now they got me on the waiting list for my first Rolex. They also gave me 825 off my wife’s grand seiko.
Just give it some time and make a good rapport. I did I send my sales guy a card thanking him. Every little bit counts toward building that.
