SMP at New York, and Automatic sound.

Hi to all,

I'm a habitual visitor of this forum since my wife bougth me a SMP 300M for our aniversary two weeks ago.
Now I'm really in love with it. It's my every day watch.

The fist question is for new yorkers. I plann to go to New York the next month (I'm from Spain), and I don't know if it is save to wear my new SMP there, or it is prefferible to not take the risk and go with my old Lotus.

The second question is about the noise I hear when I listen the watch moving it in it's vertical position forward and backward. It sounds like the weigth of the automatic mechanism is rub against some metal part. Is this normal?

Thank you very much in advance.
