Buy whichever tugs at your heart strings the most Nima007 :).

I have the Dark Side of the Moon, which uses the 9300 movement and as you may have seen, is noted to be a larger, thicker watch. In my case I wasn't choosing one over the other but the Speedmaster 57 is slightly more dressy and elegant.

I also have the DSOTM and it is amazing. Watchtime just did a review/comparison to a Breitling DLC and it beat it 89/81 score wise. Black helps thin the watch out a bit :)

I went with the 9300 because to me it seemed better proportioned on my wrist. The lug-to-lug distance I think is very similar, with the 9300 having shorter lugs. So despite the smaller case size of the 57's (which I initially thought I'd buy), the longer lugs just didn't look right to me on my wrist. Beautiful watches though.

I have the 9300 because I like the Speedy Pro but decided to "up the game" so I wanted to stick to the look and feel of a Speedy Pro

I'd have to see the blue in person, but I prefer the 9300...
