Sizing critique for 2018 Seamaster 300?

Any comments on the fit? I have a 16 cm / 6.3" wrist and I can comfortably wear a SKX009. I'm also considering the Moonwatch but it seems to wear bigger than the SM. Still going back and forth between the blue and black.

Thanks in advance!

Close up shots like this distort how big the watch actually looks. Take a shot in front of a mirror with your arm in front of you (but not touching your body so your forearm doesn't flatten out).

That said, it's up to what you are comfortable with. The speedy's lug to lug is 48.5mm, and the SMPc is 50.1mm. I find my speedy wears smaller than my seamasters, but both fit fine on my 6.75" wrist.

Happy shopping!

Speedy definitely wears smaller than the current Seamaster 300M. I have both, and have had to get used to the smaller size of the Speedy.

Looking in a mirror is the best.
If you are happy with the SKX009 you will love the Seamaster.
Black vs blue is a very tough decision. Blue is the more classic, but your seiko already has a good pop of colour so you might prefer something more restrained. No wrong decision though.

Looks great on you, the SMP300 is a beautiful watch packed with features, I really like the new updated iteration.

Looks great on you. Go with blue, because you'll have a black Speedmaster Pro to go with it before too long

Looks outstanding. What’s not to like as it’s one of the best modern Omega you can buy.

I would say right on the upper edge for you. As long as the lugs don't hang over you are good.

Agree with other poster a Moonwatch will wear smaller, but this is the more premium watch. If you like it I think you should go with your gut and pick one up

The lug to lug length is I believe smaller on the speedy. But the seamaster looks ok to me.

IT appears it's right at your limit. If you like it, GET IT!

BTW... the Speedmaster wears smaller than that Seamaster. ;)

Looks great. The one bad thing with offering multiple color options. Impossible to choose!

Also if you want it to wear a little smaller get the rubber strap instead of the bracelet. I prefer the strap look on this watch anyway.
