John, While I want to do what makes me happy, I still want to be cognizent of future value. Since I really want to upgrade my SMP with the two tone bracelet, might it be smarter to also change over the gold bezel to the auto? That way, I'd have an SMP auto with all two tone componenets and an SMP quartz with standard SS coponents? I believe I've seen the SMP Bond auto with 18k bezel, crowns and TT bracelet. Correct me if this isn't a valid model.
