Re: Comparison 2531.80 vs 2254.50 ?

In Response To: Re: Comparison 2531.80 vs 2254.50 ? ()

Hi!

I was myself comparing these two models and couldn't make up my mind until I finally leaned towards the "Bond" watch and bought it, only a week ago. Frankly I must say that the "night-visibility" issue seems hugely exaggerated. I myself wear eyeglasses and can check the time easily with the lamp on or off during the night without my glasses. Ofcourse, I'm not even close to blind.. but still. If you leave the watch under the reading-lamp for half an hour before you go to bed it will glow like it was taken directly from the core of a nuclear reactor..

I have also heard concerns that some thinks the new models is simply TOO bright. Imagine wearing a flashlight to bed :). Now, see, I can exaggerate too!

Cheers from Sweden / Robert
