5 Arguments for Buying the Seiko MM300 Over the MM200 

I realized I’m gaining wait from watching your videos, I’m not spending money on watches but I did buy Lays potato chips, apple pie, beer and the list goes on ladies and gentlemen!! Lol

Love that MM300. Like it much better than the Tudor you had earlier. Congratulations on the new member of your stable!

"Watch Anhedonia." Man, I was not expecting to hear that in a RU-vid video this morning. Nice.

There is no ‘peace of mind”. The need for new shiny objects just won’t end, I hope it doesn’t. I’m a dive watch guy and I just bought a Laco 55mmx65mm remake of the original ww2 pilot watch. I’m crazy, I get it. But the passion and excitement this “journey” gives me is one one the cleanest, least damaging obsessions I’ve ever had. So be it.

The deepness of your watch philosophy is on the next level my friend! I really enjoy and appreciate it ;)

Just bought the grand seiko sbga 413. So excited about this Mcmahon.

Interesting video McMahon. I'm unsure how we can ever feel content with our collection's whilst comparing how one watch is "superior" to another, particularly when that usually equates to spending money on more expensive models, that's the trap. I think to find any type of peace for me it breaks down into the following areas; keeping a perspective on your "hobby", being content with what you have, not feeling the need to compare with others, and lastly not focusing on what you don't have. All easier said than done unfortunately.

The MM200 is nice and all, but let’s not pull any punches here. It’s no MM300. This is an irrational hobby, fellas. Two MM200s ≠ one MM300. Though I don’t know what you sold, I’m nevertheless glad you consolidated your redundant watches into an MM300, which you can enjoy more often. As crazy as this sounds, McMahon, you could cover all the bases with just the MM300 and the 42mm Willard. You have the high end finishing, hi beat movement and colorful blue dial of the MM300; and the black dial and slightly smaller 70s turtle design of the 42mm Willard to complement it. The MM200 is neither fully actualized nor different enough from the 42mm Willard to justify its place in your fleet. You own an MM300 now, McMahon, so do what Marie Kondo recommends. Thank the MM200 for its service to you, and move it along so it can occupy the wrist of the next aspiring future MM300 owner.

MM300 is on whole another level! It’s just so good 😊

A good reflection. I will ponder on the causes of watch anhedonia in my life.

Jeff; I have commented on many of your videos over the years as I feel our anxiety and pain is similar. It seems price is always a determining factor and a cause for settling on a watch when we really want something else. After 7 years of doing this I’m closer to having 5-6 watches I really don’t want to sell. Not necessarily because I spent more but because now I know what I like in a watch. But spending more did give me watches that I am happier with. I want a Sinn 104 now but I’m not ready to spend the $ yet. I started thinking about less expensive options and caught myself. I’ll wait until I feel better about the $1800 expense and will do it knowing I’ll be happier.

We are here for the Mcmahon philosophical frame not for unboxings and watch reviews, to be honest many other do those things better, but the honest dude eloquent chat about watch collecting psychology and its social and behavioural manifestations cannot be found elsewhere. Your channel and Timeless watch channel are my go to channels, you both do it so much differently.

Bruce Springsteen said nobody liked his happy songs. They don’t sell as well as the sad ones. It’s all part of the journey I think. The MM300 is as chunky as Tom’s monster quads so does match! Awesome watch. Looks great in blue.

It would be nice for us, MM300 owners, to see a review of the MM300 from your perspective. Thanks.

I've never had an MM 200 or 300, but I'm watching this video wearing my new sumo with a ratcheting clasp I just picked up. I almost forgot, it has a blue dial with a yellow 2nd hand!

Don’t worry McMahon you will find a way to add misery to your collection soon enough 😆!

The MM300 is a great watch. Apex predator Seiko diver!

Just bought a NAVIFORCE on eBay for $11.00 US, can’t wait to get it on my wrist and be able to tell the time to anyone who asks. 😂👍🇨🇦

Didn't buy any watches since january. Sold 4 this week. Feels great. Ultimate goal max six watches.

I have a Tudor-same size as the one you sold-how does the MM300 compare on the wrist (i.e., does it wear bigger or about the same as the Tudor? I really want an MM300, but I’m afraid that it may be too big for my wrist …

Jeff, how is your mm300 holding up so far in terms of scratches? I just got one for myself and just received a pretty huge gash and it hurt extra because of how nice the polishing is vs my other watches. It’s just too nice

Jeff, while you were bodybuilding were you taking Gear?

Goddamit now i am after mm300! :) Its perfect!

can you do a comparison video about build quality between mm300 vs black bay?

McMahon, if you had 1k to spend on a seiko used or new (but leaning used almost new) which seiko ?

MM300 beats the MM200 (reduced) hands down.

Curious, What other seiko model watches beside MM300 have the same movement?

I had five Seiko diver's watches, but I sold them all when I bought the mm300. Reality beats all others.

Wouldn’t the next logical step in the journey/addiction be the Seiko Prospex LX Spring Drive? The accuracy of the spring drive would out the MM300 to shame. It’s a game changer Although Tom Platz did have the best quads….wouldn’t it be nice to have the Lee Haney of Seiko Divers?

At the risk of heresy, what about the SLA055 or 57 instead of the MM300 for those who love the case design of the MM300 but don’t want such a large chunk of a watch?

How much would a basic service cost on a mm300 cost?

Video starts at 4:40 Nice video

The SLA059 looks amazing, but that's just me.

Would you sell the MM200 to get a gen 3 monster?

McMahon, the mm300 looks nice

Personally I think the mm300 is too thick. The bracelet links look long too. The best thing is the beautiful blue face. At nearly 3k, does it compare to a omega at 5k . Not for me, I actually think the 1k seikos are the best models. They are well built , reliable and offer a fair bit for the price. I'm not sure if I would invest more than 1k in a seiko. While I love the brand, they don't offer the same desire as some of the Swiss brands. That said are the omegas worth the 5 to 6k they are now asking for the PO and Seamaster 300 ? If your going to spend 5 to 6k on a watch you better be sure it's the one for you. Once you've experienced a higher end model, then it's almost impossible to go back, with any real satisfaction. I honestly don't think the difference between a 1k watch and a 5k is worth the extra outlay in terms of quality and value for money. But if you have a small collection , then a higher end grail is more understandable. The most important thing is buy what you like at a price your happy to pay , and it should work out hopefully !!!

MM300 is a beautiful watch. Always wanted one but don’t think I could pull it off with my 6.75 inch wrists.

I guarantee you will buy another watch, there's your guarantee.

For that expensive of a watch i think the mm 300 bracelet is sub par. Omega sea master professional is the best bang for the buck.

Two things: First do you ever consider something besides a dive watch? Dive watches are great and was almost all I wore for about 15 years, but the reality was I never used the bezel for anything. I had watches that the bezel didn't even turn, because there was so much grit in there. At some point I started buying "Field watches" and they are pretty great. No bezel generally, but that allows a larger more legible dial, they typically are lumed almost the same. My 59 year old eyes thanked me! Just thinking it might be worth a shot? 2) Maybe something besides Seiko and Tudor? Watching you obsess over this Seiko or that Seiko; it's kinda painful sometimes! 🤣

Does the MM300 have a ceramic bezel??

Sols a omega collection 3 pieces sold a rolex collection 4 pieces bought 1 dive watch 1 feild watch content for a while

I don’t think it’s wise continuing in an anxious state and a constant state of confusion for you tube content ..if honest I feel there is something very narcissistic about that . I’ve always enjoyed your channel but felt it had become very repetitive a bit like a band producing the same album year after year .and really couldn’t comprehend why there was no attempt to move on if it was causing such discontentment. Your channel can have a slight shift in direction There can be plenty of positive content the journey of moving on , a positive story with positive messages . One mans journey to beat watch addiction and coming out the other end

After having both, I have to say that the MM200 is an awesome watch, but seems handicapped in comparison to the MM300

Slga001?

Planet Ocean? For real? I would've thought you'd think those are over-priced. They do look good but servicing will be a bomb I think. Hydroconquest is the best value for buck imo. Btw, don't you diss on Lay's potato chips man those are the best 😂

So your wrist has shrunk to 6inch now??? MM300 wears very small

I have both watches.

GS quartz diver (sbgx337). Proportions on MM300 are not good. Proportions are everything.

I bought both at the same time and I sold the MM300 because it's just too thick.

you sound like you are trying to convince yourself!!

300>200

Serge Nubret

IMO ...MM300 is too thick...and perhaps more expensive to service. No doubt the MM300 has better quality.

You know, KNOW, that from here you will go to Omega, then and ONLY then, you will make the next step which is to take the plunge like Random Rob did, like every other watch RU-vidr, and get yourself a Rolex. You know this will happen. It is inevitable!

The PO 600mm>300mm

Love the mm 300! But I guarantee you will be flipping the new 300. 😃 it’s ok your addicted, better sucking alcohol down. Haha. Great job on the vids. Mm200 is too small. Seiko needs to bring back a mm in a 46mm.

The Omega smokes the MM300.

Spending money is not a hobby. Get a grip.

Da first~~!!
