...the exact same reasons I do. Curiously, I am 30.

My only concern about the newest design is the strong contrast between the overall curves of the watch case and dials, versus the poligonal, sharp-angled shapes of the dial markers. In the SMP Bond face, there is actually no contrast, no disturbance, because the geometry of the markers perfectly blends with the overall geometry of the watch's design, including size. Very pleasant, indeed, and it does NOT look like old at all.

Once you begin wearing the watch, regardless of your choice, just wait until you cross someone with a Rolex. Their faces are just a poem! :-)

Buena suerte,

Ferenc
