After much deliberation, I've finally decided to purchase a SMP 300m black/black. However, I'm still going back and forth between the older "bond" bracelet and the newer speedy style. Seeing as how the bond bracelet will soon be unavailable on this model, I figured it might be wise to go ahead and make a decision…
I’ve only been able to handle the bond bracelet (since the dealers in my area are woefully under stocked and unhelpful). From what I have read on this site, the bond bracelet is straight while the speedy is tapered. Does this affect the weight of the bracelet (to any degree that one could feel a difference?) The weight of the watch head is well balanced when on the bond bracelet and I’m wondering if it feels equally so on the speedy one. I know that in the end, a lot of it comes down to personal taste, but I wanted to hear anyone else's opinions and recommendations on this choice, especially from those of you who have worn both bracelets. Any other input as to the tactile (or aesthetic) differences between the bracelets would also be welcome. I’d love to hear some arguments from both sides as to the pros and cons. Thanks in advance for your replies!
Best,
Matt
