Great Review...

In Response To: My take.... ()

...BTW. By the time I got your reference, I have already read it. After reading it the first time, I concluded that, to my percepetion, the subtle balance of sports and elegance found in the 2531.80.00 (aka "Bond") was so well achieved, so sleek, that in no way I perceived it to be close to any watch I have ever seen before (including many Rolexes).

I am not referring to separate elements (round markers, etc.) It is the WAY all the elements are packed and represented in the watch's design. It is quiet unique, indeed. Even the skeleton-type hands allow to see the hour and minutes marker ALL the time, even if they intersect themselves. That may help explain why the hour hand tip is round while the minute hand tip is triangular... so you can distinguish them even if one is in top of the other!

Little details like that make the differences, along many other aspects of it.

Very best regards, without biases ;-)
