The Seamaster was my first “real” luxury watch purchase 15 years ago, when an automatic Seamaster could be had for under $2k. Since then, I’ve owned four different models of the Seamaster, numerous Breitlings and Rolexes. An SD43 is my current daily and probably my favorite watch ever….however, you will never forget your first luxury watch! Wished I would have kept it.

Same here. First luxury watch for me was during the Quartz period, 1989. Omega Seamaster Polaris Chrono. Still have it, in the safe with battery removed. BTW, it was designed by G. Genta for Omega. Now, as for things I sold that I regret... the Ferrari Challenge car I campaigned in the 1990s. Sad about that one.

Hi Chisholm, I have a Sea Master 300 Professional, lovely watch which as a boater has always been my grail watch and personally think it's both amazing value and an amazing watch. I have thought about and handled quite a few Rolex's in my time but never pushed the button which tells me something. Is it to "look at me bling, I've made it in life" or an open invitation to any lowlife that see's it to try and rip my arm off for it. I'm not sure but I don't get any of those feelings or thoughts when I've got my SM300 on. What I do get is a feeling of contentment, I'm happy and to tell you truth most people could not give a carrot what watch you have on. Manners make the man, not his watch ;-) I do like watches and in my collection I have also got an Oris Big Crown 7502, yes it's vintage but still keeps excellent time and as solid today as the day it was made and a Seiko X PADI solar which was my first proper dive watch but I always wanted the Sea Master, It's a boaters thing maybe. My go to watch when I'm going to get drenched and dirty and smashed about though drops in price dramatically and that's my Casio G-Shock GA-B2100, they brought it out in solar at long last, it was worth the wait. Hit it with a brick and it still works, who's going to hit their Rolex with a brick, not many I think. I don't baby my watches but I do like to use the right tool for the job and the G-Shock is near on indestructible. I'm new to your channel so might have missed it but if you haven't already maybe you could do a review on the G-SHOCK range. Everyone can afford one so it should make an informative video for a lot of people 🙂 would I go for a Rolex further down the line?, I doubt it. I am looking at the Tissot PRX Powermatic 80, lovely classy watch and maybe use the cash I save on getting a Rolex to go on holiday for a while or buy a new car or bike. My main grip with Rolex is as you pointed out it's easier to get one of the gray market or a flipper with a massive inflated price tags than from an AD where it's near on impossible, we'll put you on the waiting list...REALLY! Yes they are nice luxury watches but there are loads of others that are better in so many ways. If you really want to make a statement with your watch get a Patek Philippe Nautilus or something, yes it's only WR to 150 meters but just look at the watch yum yum. Anyway that's my view. Good luck on your channel 🙂

I like both watches but prefer the sub. Reason being is the Seamaster have a tinny bezel and the bracelet does not taper. Thickness is a small thing I don’t like about it either.

It is its scratches and wounds but it never fails and it has this wonderful drill holes.

I bought the SMP300 in full blue last year as my first luxury watch. Absolutely love it. With the outrageous price difference between a used Sub vs a new Seamaster, there’s no way I could justify the Sub. I don’t care if it’s sits more comfortable on the wrist or looks better, it’s just outrageous. The experience of walking into an Omega store and being treated like a valued customer then walking out with a new watch on the wrist was a fantastic experience. With the $ saved, I’ll be getting another piece soon!

I have both the SMP300 (blue dial) and the Submariner (124060). In fact, at this very moment, I am wearing the Seamaster. Like you, when I was a kid, I watched all the James Bond movies with my dad. Those movies are what got me into watches. I especially loved the Pierce Brosnan era watches because of the way the gadgets were integrated into them, but I digress. If I had to choose ONE watch for the rest of my life, I think I would choose the Submariner. It is a lot more comfortable on the wrist and I feel it conforms to the wrist a whole lot more than the Seamaster. It is a watch I could wear and never take off. That being said, I could never part ways with my Seamaster. Every time I look down at my wrist to tell the time, I smile and think of my dad. I think of the time when I was a kid, wanting to have James Bond’s watch, and now I do. I typically wear the Sub for a few days in a row, maybe even for a whole week, but I always go back to the Seamaster. I always feel the need to wear it again. Aside from the nostalgia, it’s the dial on the Seamaster 😍. It is just sooo beautiful and has so much depth to it. Depending on the type of lighting, whether it is artificial white light or yellow light, or natural sunlight, and even depending on the angle of the light; the dial changes hue and different shades of blue. It is simply a work of art. Conclusion: I need both 😂❤!

One thing I like better about the Seamaster that a rarely see mentioned is that it has minute markers the whole way around the bezel, while the Submariner only has minute markers for the first 15 minutes.

The Seamaster is a superior watch in all ways except brand marketing.

Bought the Seamaster 'No time to die' recently. Its got a titanium body and very light and comfortable to wear. Have got both the NATO and metal bracelets - only problem is you have to go to a store everytime you wish to swap around the swaps. Wish Omega supplies a tool which makes this swapping easy.

The Sub is still one of the most iconic/desirable watches around, but there are so many high quality/affordable homages (not to mention loads of fakes), that some of the cachet of owning one is now lost in time and affordability (plus a lot of people assume its fake when they see someone wearing a Sub - you don't get that with an Omega). I've had my Seamaster since 1998, so personally, if I had £10k burning a hole in my pocket to spend on new watches, I'd go for an Omega Speedmaster AND a Tudor Black Bay or Pelagos, over a Sub these days.

The last reason you mentioned definitely trumps all the others - not being able acquire or afford it. Also takes the choice out of the equation! I'm a big fan of both watches and am far more likely to buy a seamaster. But if someone was gifting one or the other the choice would be far trickier

For me it would be the SMP, I just don't like the way Rolex are these days. The SMP has a far superior movement & looks far nicer. It is the watch I would buy, no matter how much money I had. At the present time I am wearing a Seiko monster, SRPG57K1, Save the the Ocean, Antarctica, Penguin footprint. Which I purchased online from you, great customer service.Just love the detail on the dial. This replaced my old Seiko quartz flighty. A great watch but after 18 odd years of being worn is looking very sorry for itself. I do think the white face SMP has something about it, & also reminds me of my first 2 watches back in the early 70' A timex kids watch & an Ingersoll, both with white faces.

In 2017, I bought a Rolex submariner no date, in 2018, when a new Seamaster model was released, I just fell in love with this ceramic dial with waves. I sold the submariner and bought a Seamaster. If I went back in time, I would buy a Seamaster for me, they are perfect, but I would not sell a submariner if I knew what kind of hype would start on it)

Overall, the Seamasteris a better watch than the sub, at around £4000 after a nice discount it is a no brainer. Buy the omega in three different colour ways for the same price as a sub if you want it soon.

Nice to have a personal opinion on why you chose the omega, however, I counter any comparison because in so doing, you're inadvertently trying to make the submariner the omega. They're very different and omega borrowed it's diving cues from Rolex.. Rolex has a bulletproof movement proven over longevity.. So METAS or not, it means nothing for a Rolex I've personally owned and worn daily for over 2 decades! Tried, tested and classically enduring, Rolex in my preference... It looks more luxurious and higher level and needs no unnecessary sculpting... It will always be far more successful!

A diver watch should be bigger. The key in a diver watch is visibility or legibility. Look at Blancpain, the fist, to make a dive watch. Underwater, you need to see things :-D nice review 👍 I agree with your decision

Hmmm... I'm looking to buy either. The SMP300 appears superior on most counts, including price. And owners of both are commenting here and other videos their preference to the Omega. And I love the Bond connection, but these days a movie production company will showcase any products that pays the advertising fee. But I'm a fan of the early Bond films. And my Scottish grandfather was a submariner in WWII. So the "Submariner" name and being worn by Sean Connery is very appealing. I just can't decide. The unavailability of the Rolex might make the decision for me.
