Re: I'm on the fence here, SMP purchase?

: I've owned the black dial SMP before and sold
: it because I worried about scratching it up,
: etc, as the cost of a bezel is Approx $110,
: and I read down below, the crystal is about
: $250 to replace.

: I tend to be a one watch guy, and wear my watch
: 24/7; to the office, and around the home
: (painting, yard work, home repairs, etc),
: and I'am wondering how many SMP owners wear
: your SMP's as an everyday beater, or just
: wear it as an occasional casual/dress watch?

: Thank you.....marcb

I bought my SMP 4 years ago and I wear it 24/7, even to bed. I work for British Telecom and my SMP stays on my wrist when I am at work wether I am climbing telegraph poles, in a loft or under a floor. It has the odd scratch on the bracelet, but still looks good when I get "scrubbed up" to out on the town.
