In Response To: Your opinion? ()

I just can't get myself to love those skeleton hands on the Bond or the bracelet which seems a bit too "jewelery" to me.I prefer the more simple and clean sporty look of he speedy bracelet and traditional sword hands.
I think the watch was overdue for a "freshening",and the black and electric blue dialed versions answered the call qutie well.
I DO really,really like the limited edition 007 bond though with it's mega cool textured dial and applied markers.That "Bond" is hot!Too bad the regular ones did'nt come that way...
The black is also more simple and VERY legible at night!
It's ultimatly your call.
Choose carefully,make sure you try them on,see them in real life.
BTW,this is strictly my opinion.Take it with a grain of salt.I'm not a "Bond hater",just a black dialed lover.:-)

: or the Bond 2531.80. I have two questions
: for you guys: Which one?
: Is it safe to buy it on the Internet? I'v
: gotten two good swiss sites. But...
