The MM300 is a great watch that everyone should own at least once. :thumbsup:

I also asked him to post a pic of the lume and he was kind enough to provide it. Looks like it's the same lume that's on the new tunas.

The 44mm is too big for me, but I can easily see myself falling for a 39mm one.
I liked those initially, but these pics of the actual watch look a little awkward. Maybe it's just the pics, but right now I'd rather have the current solar diver/chrono. And for me, the ideal size would be somewhere between their two offerings. I could probably wear either, but I think I'd always wish the 39 were a little bigger and the 44 a little smaller. :shrug: I do applaud the effort to offer both sizes though.

That dial and bezel combo is horrible.

I really dislike that dial color. If they wanted to do something special but unexpected, why not white? I know we wouldn't be surprised by a dark blue version if they brought one out.

It would be an occasional sitting at the tiki bar drinking a rum punch while looking at the ocean watch. Or anytime I was in Miami.

Love the video and that LE looks great.

I would hope that the LE's are made a little tighter and not sloppy like the reg tirtle I've seen.

Apparently the dial of the new marine disaster 300 is supposed resemble how it looks when you look up at the sun while diving under water.

WTF is with the winter gloves
Nice watch but honestly I wouldn't be chasing it hard, just another SRP. You got to immediately send it off to remove the crystal cyclops, shame that it's already sapphire. And then the worst part is that someone in china will start stamping these dials, bezels and everything else for 19.99 and then it wont be special anymore
I'll take a regular 773/775/777/779
