I owned 3 Stainless Steel watches, 3 G Shock & 1 Nylon Strap watches.
The next target would preferred leather/rubber strap watches.
Please give some advice, thank you

Between Omega and Tudor is indeed a hard choice, but it goes back to what are you looking for in a watch?
A. Design? For me, and again, its my own opinion but I don't really fancy the Omega Seamaster design as the helium escape value looks like another crown, versus the Tudor. Kinda breaks the symmetry with a additional crown jutting out.
B. Resell value? Generally, Omega suffers a huge cut when compared to Tudor?
C. Power reserve? I would choose Tudor as it offers 72Hours when compared to Omega 55 Hours. Longer power reserve is helpful for an automatic watch
D. Brand? Totally subjective as some prefer Omega and some prefer Tudor (poor man Rolex)
E. Warranty? I think they are the same now? As both Omega and Tudor offers 5 year
F. Materials used? I think Omega uses more fancy materials when comparing to Tudor. Tudor only has titanium in the Pelagos but the Omega has Sedna gold

I appreciated for your meticulous analysis, i actually had something in my mind, i just want to get more opinion from watch collectors. i found myself lack of the love to Pelagos, despite its made of titanium. Instead i was consider about Black Bay 36/41mm

And the Seamaster 300m, i like the design even its with the escape valve. The black dial had a busy face, might be my own problem because i cant read the time well every single time i look at it.

By the way, i like the IWC Top Gun you wrote in your blog. :)


Thanks for the kind words. Its my first blog ever, so thanks! There will be a part 2 of the IWC! Coming soon.. :) And also I will be doing a review on the tudor pelagos.
That’s nice! I’m really rooting for this Pelagos. Looking forward for your entry.

im considering between these 2. After tonnes of youtube and sites, i still prefer seamaster over tudor bb.

- movement and transparent backcase of seamaster is sweet
- ceramic bezel looks good
- both resale value more or less the same

Different price point with different finishing levels la kan? I would say just get one or the other, both watches are excellent in their own right. Personally I would actually opt for an AT or even a Heritage 300 over the Diver 300.

I have a Tudor harrods but still a blue seamaster is itching to me. I like the wave pattern dial and the rubber strap. Only thing is that both a divers , so my logical self is stopping me from pulling the trigger. Haha
I like lots of watches but can only afford a few

omega has better image/branding, better movement (METAS & COSC Certified & clear caseback) , ceramic bezels.
TUDOR BB most probably has better resale value compare to OMEGA.

go try out the watch first, see which watch wears better and comfortable on ur wrist

Not everything that people like will suit your wrist. I had the impression that the BB58 blue would be great on my wrist too, but in reality, its the SMP300 white that gets wrist time. While the BB58 felt nice at first, I found out that it just wears too small on my wrist. Aesthetically not pleasing for me.

In this price range, perhaps you should factor out "resale value" -- just buy the watch that calls out to you most. It's likely going to be the one you wear most often.



Do you plan to switch the SMP300M rubber strap to nato? Thats my plan when i own one????

I'm currently eyeing either the Seamaster300 or Tudor pelagos. Almost the same spec..for now Pelagos is winning with the matte colour and titanium. Not yet buy..so still have time to cont evaluating. Haha.
Seamster 300 is good pick

Sorry for the late response; but no I do not. I don't actually like NATO straps (with the exception of the BB NATO which I have used on occasion). Specifically to the SMP, I did not like the bracelet design, so I opted for the rubber. Its still the watch that arguable gets strapped on the most (even at home) these days.

The SMP300 also happens to be quite a looker on the other side:

Nice one, and right at the very edge of the year! ;D It really does look quite beefy sitting next to the 58.

Thanks bro…yes, it does wear bigger, cant really compare side-by-side as both has its own allure. But the good part is - both have 20mm lug measurements ie. strap sharing! Haha js ordered a couple….miahaha
