Rolex bracelet for sure wins, everything else is probably pretty even. Factor in the value and availability and the SMP probably edges out.

I remember in around 2007/08 when I went to buy a watch. I first went to buy the Seamaster and tried on a few models, including the PO2500 that had recently released. They also had a Submariner 16610LV preowned for about $5900 and I tried it on, it was above my budget but I always loved Subs and Sea-Dwellers. But the LV felt so flimsy, light and small after trying on the Omegas. I just didn't feel the premium for the Subs was warranted. I walked out with the PO2500.
Today, I would have got the LV....not for market pricing and collectibility and all that crap, but because now I understand the premium and a lighter watch doesn't mean cheaper and a heavier bigger watch doesn't mean better. On paper watches can be very comparable or one exceeds by a small margin but what isn't on paper is the emotional energy, or the history, or uniqueness. Based on the OPs reasoning, a Planet Ocean would be even better than the Seamaster. In the end both are great watches, I prefer the Sub based on looks and design alone, which can be personal but it's pedigree and lineage that can be traced directly back to a watch in 1954 and is apparent just by putting the two together is very appealing to me. |

I’m a big fan of the Seamaster 300mp. I plan on getting one, but definitely prefer my Submariner.

I agree. And the 43.5mm PO is better as well.
