In Response To: Re: strap on new SMP (2531.80) ()

: While it's true that some won't care whether a
: watch comes with its official bracelet, the
: majority of people (especially WISes) do. If
: you're going to try to sell that watch, its
: value actually may get hurt because of this.
: It is not a unique watch because, as I said
: in my first post, AuthenticWatches.com is
: known to do these kinds of things with their
: watches. Companies like these who swap parts
: and claim that the models are 'official' are
: wrong. How would you like it if you found
: out that the watch you purchased had swapped
: parts?

: 'Realistically' speaking, all that matters is
: if Ted enjoys his watch, but since he would
: prefer the 'original' Bond watch, I'd advise
: him to get a full refund and get the watch
: from a respectable and trustworthy AD (Ted,
: if you need any referrals, just ask.)

: Personally, I prefer the good 'ol bracelet.
: (Comparable photos below between Ted's Omega
: and an 'official' watch).

: Joey: Fair enough! I just don't think Ted should be beating himself up over it.
