Re: Got my BOND GMT... First impressions...

Welcome to the club!! Glad I could help.

I suspect the hair pulling will stop when you run out of hair on that part of your wrist. I seem to vaguely remember something similar the first few days I had mine, but it's a very dim memory now.

As far as damaging the inticate moving parts on an Omega if it moves on your wrist, I wouldn't worry too much. My Ti SeMP is definitely on the snug side so there's no play on the band on my wrist, but my watch gets exposed to everything I do. That includes chainsawing firewood, bouncing off various parts of my boat(s) when the wind suddenly gusts up, and shooting my Smith & Wesson 500 magnum. A watch that's fully spec'd for diving down to a 1,000 feet in SAT conditions has to be built to take one hell of a pounding, because down there every surface and hatch is solid steel. There's NOTHING soft there to bump into. Relax, and enjoy!!!
