Re: Life is uncertain. Buy now.
I have the "Bond" watch myself,and I think it is much more attractive. The hands on the new one just aren't as nice as the skeleton hands. They are one of the things that drew me to the watch in the first place. Hands on Tag or Rolex watches have been copied so many times that they look cheep to me now. The sword hands may be easier to see in the dark, but I would find them hard to look at in the light(They're ugly). I've had my 2531.80 for about 3 weeks and love it! As far as I'm concerned, it's the only watch!
: I just saw a photo of the 150th anniversary Seamaster Pro on
: the Timezone Omega forum. This one is in titanium, with the
: GMT Pro-style dial (available in blue and black) and hands,
: and a steel bezel with etched black numerals. It's
: definitely striking, but I have to say I like my SM Pro
: "Bond" better. While the skeleton hands can be a
: little hard to see in low light, I think it's a more
: classic style, and will probably (I hope) look better
: longer. I like the sword hands on the new one, and the
: bezel is handsome, but the big indicators are a bit too
: much for me. It's always a risk to buy a new model (of
: anything) in its first year. Who knows how long this one
: will stay in production, or how popular it will be. The
: current SM Pro has become a classic in its ten plus years,
: and I think will endure in popularity.
: But of course I think that since I only bought my watch two
: weeks ago and don't want anything to make me second guess
: my purchase!
