bp hands down !! nt
In Response To: If same price - SeaMaster or BP 50 Fathoms??? ()

: Having tried both (America's Cup), it seems a
: better integrated sporty, casual watch to me
: - more than the sum of its parts. On the
: other hand, the 50 Fathoms has a sporty
: bezel but a dressy, glossy face and somewhat
: dressy bracelet
: that clashes to some extent.

: The BP has a better movement but one could
: argue the Seamaster's is surely good enough.

: Both have great bracelets, with a slight edge
: going to the unbeatable BP.

: In conclusion, for the same $$$, I would
: probably buy the 50 Fathoms (100 hour power
: reserve), but at 2-3x the price of the
: Seamaster, the Seamaster is a much better
: buy. (How about a Seamaster and
: UN 1846 instead!!!)
