As you've read in the previous posts, in a lot of ways these are two very different watches. That's how I justified the recent purchase of a black on black SMP to add to the Bond I've had for 3 years.
The Bond will always be my "first love." It is more understated than the black, with the smaller round markers, skeleton hands, and smaller numbers on the bezel. Just an all around excellent looking watch. I do wish Omega had produced a black/black version of the Bond. I'm sure it would have been very popular with the crowd that likes the look of the Sub but doesn't care for the Rolex brand itself. The skeleton hands, for example, are pure Omega, and no one can say they were trying to copy anything about the Rolex.
One thing that drew me to the black/black was that this design revitalized the old Seamaster 300 and its military origins. I purchased this watch with the new style bracelet, primarily to give me a change of pace from the Bond bracelet. Additionally, I can throw a black NATO strap on it, which makes for a nice combo.
It's a tough decision, fortunately I was able to buy both and enjoy the "best of both worlds."
