Smp 300

[BMess]

Although I’m considering getting rid of this watch, I love seeing how the dial and overall look of the watch changes depending on sunlight and bracelet/strap.

OEM Bracelet in direct harsh sunlight:


OEM rubber strap in indirect natural light:


Which do you prefer? I’m a big fan of blue but I think the brightly saturated blue in the direct sunlight makes the SMP 300 look like a toy as opposed to a refined luxury watch.

Interested to hear your thoughts!

It doesn't bother me but I think modern ceramic parts all look like plastic. I'd say it's a gorgeous watch and I like it.

I would buy the bracelet option and order a blue rubber so I have both options.

I'd do the same, and probably end up wearing it on the rubber 85%+ of the time. The rubber combo has been on my mind quite a bit recently.

I have the green seamaster and went with the rubber strap and then ordered this bracelet from Uncle Seiko (US1479). Much better than the OEM bracelet and fits perfectly.

I totally agree. It’s a great look these days. Not sure how it will age, and only time will tell. Bracelet should be a timeless option.

Never seen that before. Looks good.

Looks like it was modeled on the bracelet on the 3861 Speedmaster.

Great looking watch.

It was modeled after it. Looks the same and fits great. Tapers down nicely (which the OEM does not) and the clasp itself is very similar with more adjustments.

That bracelet looks fabbo, it’s what Omega ought to put on as standard.

That looks really good. What does it taper down to at the clasp? I'm guessing 16?

as shown above- I went rubber and will pick up an uncle seiko- the oem bracelet does little at all for this watch

[victorescu]

It looks so very boring with that bracelet.
Just put it on the rubber strap and enjoy a colorful sporty wristwatch with great mechanics

Yes, 16mm.

I have one and if it didn't wear so big on me I would keep it. The colors are vibrant to me.

[sanyuan]

Love the contrast of wave lines in the blue dial. Would definitely keep it. The curve hugging rubber strap is a winner.

This is a killer watch. I got mine in 2019 and till today it is in top 3 in my collection. IMO the best option is the bracelet, but Omega rubber is very nice as well. Here are some shots of my SMP300:

This looks 10x better than OEM in my view.
Can you give an idea of how many links can be removed?

On their website (unclestraps) it states the bracelet is adjustable from 120mm - 175mm. This particular model is the US1479 with the double button clasp.

I would move it, if you don't like it and would be happy with the net result.

Are the links set with push pins and not screws?

Correct. Push pins. I actually prefer the pins as it is much easier to adjust. And the US is a perfect fit to the watch head. No movement, no gaps, unlike some other brands.

I have that exact watch on the OEM bracelet. I’m never getting rid of it. It’s always a treat to wear, and I think it’s one of the best blue dial watches out there. It gets as my wrist time as any watch I have, including my BLNR GMT and Submariner. But I do consider it to be my casual, dress down watch (FWIW).
