: Just wondering what everybody thinks....

: Since the new Co-Axial Bond will have applied
: markers and logo, I was wondering if anyone
: thinks they will add a applied logo to the
: Bond GMT (2535.80)?

: I know I would pay $50 to $100 just for the
: applied logo (since it already has the
: applied markers). For some reason the watch
: would seem that much nicer to me, and $100
: more over the rest of my life would be a
: minal expense for the satisfaction of that
: applied logo. I am curious to hear what
: everyone thinks, especially Joey, since I
: know this is his dream watch.
: As the Bond GMT is the watch i am currently
: saving for, I would love to see this minor
: addition beofre I bought it (which is still
: aways off).

: Let me know what you think!!

Hey Jason,

To me, the Bond GMT was 'the' watch because of the Bond styling, co-ax movement, applied markers, exhibition case back, ect.... Now that the new Bond has all of that (it does have a clear back right guys???), it has taken over the GMT's throne (I really don't need that extra hand), if it only costs $400 more dollars than the classic Bond SMP......

But to answer your question.... Yes. Having a applied logo like the ATs instead of a painted one means quality. It also looks, to me, WAY better.

I reminds me of HP and TI calculators (sorry for this anology again, I like Math). HP's have a 'real' logo made of metal and the key labels are not painted on.... They are molded on.... So if the top half of the key somehow gets cleaved away, you can still read the button.... Something that TI's don't have. I like to point out these little things when comparing products with each other. It means that the companies are proud to put their names onto their products!
