Considering a Pelagos vs 300SMP - Quality issues and clasp?

[greg19]

I had a blue Pelagos that I purchased in 2018 and I'm getting ready to list my SMP 300 for sale on WUS this week. The Pelagos is a great no nonsense tool watch that I had for 2 years and I only sold it to put the funds toward a 114060. I never had any issues with the Pelagos. I purchased a SMP 300 because I was looking for a beater to possibly replace my sub since I now have 2 subs. I wanted to try out something I haven't had before so I got the SMP at a pretty good deal. After owning both I'd take the Tudor over the SMP any day. The Omega will never replace my 114060, and if any watch would replace the sub, it would be the Pelagos. No it's not going to win any fashion shows any time soon like the Omega, but I like the adjustable clasp better and to me it wears better than the SMP. Maybe because it's a little lighter due to the titanium? Some people complain about the titanium getting marked up easily but you can get those marks out so it's no big deal. I know on a lot of "this or that" posts, people say to get both. In this case, they are both completely different watches so if you can swing it, go for it. Good luck.
