Re: Which Seamaster Pro?
In Response To: Re: Which Seamaster Pro? ()

It is subjective but I feel that the Bond model is much more elegant and better looking. Before my purchase, I was torn between the electric blue dial watch and the Bond model I made up my mind after I had tried on and looked at both of these watches for at least 10 minutes in numerous dealers. I got a bit bored of the electric blue dial.

I must agree that the GMT style SMP's are more easily legible with the larger luminescent markers, bezel numbers and sword hands; however, they seem a bit overbearing. For me, the Bond model could be worn with a suit or with a T-shirt and jeans, the GMT style models were more sporty but I did not find them to match more formal clothing. I also love the skeleton hands on the Bond...a very nice touch.

These are just my own opinions.

Enjoy your watches and these are, after all Omega Seamaster Professionals...can't go wrong with them.
