Re: Do I change to an auto SMP Gentlemen?
In Response To: Do I change to an auto SMP Gentlemen? ()

Hi, wanted to say that I own an Omega SMP quartz
full size and I am extemely happy with it. Ask yourself these two questions. First, Do I own other mechanical automatics in my collection; and 2nd, do I really need the Omega SMP automatic. I want to say this, that I own other automatics in my collection. I felt that mechanical automatics are the ultimate watches, but The Omega SMP quartz is a great watch. If you want to save money then go for the quartz version and you will be quite content with it. If you must have the automatic then spending the extra few hundred does not make any difference. Hope this helps. Good luck!
