: The new style bracelet was ...
: ...and I must say..I am very dissapointed...
The Bond-style SMP was always a subtle stylistic rebel in the watch world. Conservative enough to march in the same crowd while still adding a bit of flair through the style of the bracelet, the skeleton hands, and using navy blue and never black. That unique character was what drew me to the watch.
The addition of the new style SMPs to the line was, I believe, an attempt to appeal to the much more traditional crowd. So certainly they resemble other more traditional watches. That is their intent, not a flaw.
Both styles are highly appealing. But the 'new' style is appealing in a very traditional way, while the Bond style appeals in a conservatively unconventional way.
