This Seamaster 300 is 41mm and has no escape valve.

Appreciate the input for sure.

The 300m has the escape valve. The 300 doesn't. I wish they made a GMT version of the 300. I would be all over it.

Yes!

I am a fan of the bezel on the 300.

Ok we are talking about 2 different things then. You're referencing the heritage model.

Seems both of my gripes with the diver 300m are cleared up with that one, AR only on inside, improved bracelet.

I don't care for the styling and I require a date function, but if you like it seems like a nice watch.

The trend for a while has been going to normal size pieces, but is the pendulum swinging in the full opposite direction?

Looks like men on various forums are going from the large 48 MM timepieces to wearing ladies Datejust and other 26MM-28MM …

To each his own…

I’m all about mid-sized watches but anything below 34mm is a bit much, and I have a 6.25” wrist.

That is some perfomative nonsense. Out of proportion and looks totally wrong. And this comes from someone who tends toward the "smaller" end of the spectrum and believes that the height of watch form and function is the 36 mm oyster case in its various iterations. (At least I have some insight into what triggers me, haha).

Yea, thats rediculous. 36-42mm is ideal for a grown man IMO.

Thanks.

The AT has a slightly more dressy look than the 300. The unique look of the 300 keeps it interesting.

Just picked up this Pelagos MN. The lume on these is pretty rad, will probably end up spending as much on straps as I did on the watch.

Love that shade of blue. I had the black dial but had to part with it due to no date. If the black and the blue had a date I'd have them both.

I hear ya, I’m used to a date. It’s been tough when you glance down at the bank or wherever and your watch provides no help. I’ve definitely learned to appreciate how clean a no-date look is though.

Beautiful blue on that Tudor.

I just got in my 15yr anniversary present - Hamilton Intramatic Automatic Chrono. Was a little nervous about bulk due to some comments online, but shes great.

I've been interested in Grand Seiko for a long time and finally pulled the trigger on a SBGM245. I have a thing for steel bezel gmt's, so it joins the black bay pro and the explorer 2 polar.

The dial and indices in person are incredible.

Bright and sunny mild weather today, good for a Citizen eco satelite. Also, for the discussion on smaller men's watches, my grandfather's Omega that was a Christmas gift from his wife in 1956. At one point in time, watchmakers demonstrated skill by showing how small they could package a movement.

I eventually want to get an Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch.

Until then, I want a watch with a yellow dial.

I was thinking either the Seiko 5 Sports



Or the Seiko Prospex Speed Timer

Tudor just released the black bay chrono 39. Great size.
