    Never liked the SMP. Looks good for a younger person with the bigger wrists, but the Sub is far more mature and classic in design. And the scalloped bezel on the SMP makes using the bezel difficult under normal conditions and damn near impossible when hands are wet. Finally, the SMP is better off bracelet because it does not taper while the Sub’s is perfect. But….the SMP wins in price, for sure.

    I understand your position. And if I could only keep one … I would keep my green bezel Sub. But the SMP is still an incredible watch and DEFINITELY the second choice for me over any other diver (Blancpain, etc). You are correct, the SMP is a bit beefier vs the Sub and looks better on a larger wrist (7+ inch). I recently took my SMP on a two week Mediterranean cruise through Italy, Greece, and Malta and it was the perfect watch. I would have felt more self conscious wearing my “Starbucks” with all of the negative attention it could garner. I am fortunate to have multiple nice watches (3 Rolex, 1 SMP, 1 Cartier Santos, 1 Grand Seiko, and 1 Tag Heuer Monaco) so I wear different watches for different moods & situations.

    @@DougsPerspective my collection is similar with Rolex, Panerai, GS and even Tag. Each has a role and situation, similar to what you wrote. And I definitely understand the point about safety. Actually, that’s the only aspect that I don’t like about my two Rolex watches, I have to be more cautious where and how I wear them. Fortunately, I live somewhere safe.

    Mine came with buckle (which is fine), but I would have preferred deployment if it was available. The deployment version can only be purchased (at this time) as a second strap. I did purchase the Omega mesh bracelet for this watch and it has the deployment - which is awesome!

    I’m having the same issue with my medium santos. I’ve owned it for a 2 months or so now and noticed the power reserve being drastically over stated. I’ve also had it keep poor time once or twice but I’m really hoping that’s just because it wasn’t wound well enough(not the most user friendly watch to wind). I plan on taking it in but I’ve read some horror stories about Cartier’s customer service. I’m glad yours was fairly seamless. Two months to lose my watch and not have a thorough explanation as to what the issue was on my new $8,000 wrist watch is going to really bum me out.

    Just wait a few months until the AR coating on the Omega is all scuffed and scratched up. It's also not covered under Omega warranty. My only big gripe with Omega. They put AR coating on the outside of the crystal. Other than that, they are great watches in almost every way compared to Rolex.

    Hey Captain Z, I agree, I don’t like that Omega uses AR coating on the outside of the crystal. No problems with mine. Interestingly, I had a Skyfall AT a few years ago and the AR coating did scratch and Omega DID replace the entire crystal for free under warranty.
