Re: BLUE -> BLACK

In Response To: BLUE -> BLACK ()

: If You got a SMP Bond, is it possible to
: upgrade it to the black smp (change the
: bazel, hands and blue dial)?

Far better, cheaper and easier to simply sell the watch you have (which is now a USED watch) and buy a used one of the model you want.

People often think it is cheap to swap parts -- it is not. You are talking about expensive replacement parts plus labor charges plus the risk that the work might not be done right. By the time you've done all that, you will have spent several hundred dollars and have a watch that is not worth one penny more.

That's just plain crazy to do when you can simply trade what you have in for what you want. Your used Bond will be worth essentially the same as a equal condition used black SMP. So it would be a pretty much even swap!
