Re: Should I get Bond SMP or Black SMP

I bought the Bond version about a month ago, I cleaned it up and it looked great. I wore it for a week, and received a lot of compliments. As the days went by, I felt the blue dial was not sleek enough. I sold it, quickly made a small profit, and was kicking myself for selling it afterward. Two weeks later, I saw a Black dial/ black bezel seamaster which also needed a good polishing. The watch came out beautiful. I have worn it with jeans and dress slacks. It is a sharp looking watch. I have showed the piece to a few jewelers and the all have said it is a great watch. One even commented that it was the closest piece to a Rolex Submariner than any other watch. He even said the band on the Omega is a lot stronger. I am glad I made the switch.Great looking watch.....
