Problem in what way?

It is all a matter of style. If you want to follow the stricter style guidelines, then the Seamaster Pro would *not* be appropriate with a suit. But who the hell follows such strict guidelines anymore? Geez, lots of people wear Casio G-Shocks with their suits, so don't expect the fashion police to swoop down on you over a sporty/conservative SMP.

It is all about the look you wish to achieve. While there are no fashion police to ticket you, what will happen is people develop an impression about you based on how sharp and coherent your overall look is. A wristwatch that fits in well will benefit you. Once that stands out oddly will detract.

The single best piece of advice on how a gentleman should dress is this: "You don't want people to remember what you wore, only that you looked great in it."

It is up to you to decide how the people you are around will notice and perceive such detail--and whether that is even important to you--to be of any guidance in a stylistic choice between these two excellent watches.
