Re: Should I get Bond SMP or Black SMP
In Response To: Should I get Bond SMP or Black SMP ()

: I love James Bond (Read most books and watched
: all moviews) so it would have more
: sentimental value for me, but I kind of
: think the black on black one is better
: looking. Has anyone else had this dilemna?

This is a personal choice you have to make. Focus on which you think you will enjoy the longest. Which one when you see it on your wrist 5 or 10 years from now, would still make you the happiest.

Personally, I like the Bond better for two reasons. One, the dark blue color is more distinctive -- too much mens jewelry is all just black with silver or gold. And two, the dial and bezel markings on the black versions are just too bold, too dominant. I like the more subtle elegance of the skeleton hands and not overstated markings on the Bond.
