In Response To: Re: Your opinion? ()

I actually prefer the Bond SMP. The quartz version! I'm odd, I know. I think it's a little more versatile, dress, casual, sports whatever. To me the 2254.50 just seems strictly sports, however, I know it's a great watch- they both are.

Good luck.

: Personally, I think the Bond SMP is the best
: watch out there for the money. It is now the
: only Omega that will feature the distinct
: Bond bracelet, which is so much more refined
: and much higher quality than the Speedy
: style bracelet on the 2254.50. It also has
: the more elegant skeleton hands, unlike the
: sword hands on the 2254.50. The numbers on
: the bezel are also of a more appropriate
: size (I feel the numbers on the 2254.50 are
: just entirely too big).

: I don't know about buying overseas, but if you
: buy your watch over the net you do not get
: the Omega factory warranty. Just something
: to keep in mind.
