Re: SMP at New York, and Automatic sound.
In Response To: 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.

I've been to NYC several times and never had a problem. All the typical tourist destinations are very safe with a large police presence. You can always leave your SMP at home and tell your wife you'll need a new GMT for the trip to keep track of the time back in Spain! Enjoy your trip and the watch.
