Re: Which Seamaster version to buy?

Thanks to everyone who pitched in here. I've decided to take the *plunge* (ha ha) and buy the Bond style SMP. Everyone here made some excellent points regarding legibility; style vis a vis wardrobe; functionality; and aesthetic quality. I decided to go with the Bond style because the entire watch seems to go together so well. I was worried it might look too different from other watches, yet that didn't seem to bother me when I bought the Bell&Ross Space 1. Go figure. I'll be picking it up on Monday, and when I can get my hands on a digital camera, I'll post some pics. Thanks again to everyone.
: I'm having a heck of a time trying to decide
: which Semaster 300m Professional Diver I
: should buy. I live in Ontario, Canada and
: I've seen the black dial & bezel with
: the new Speedmaster style bracelet, and I've
: seen the previous version with the skeleton
: hands. I like 'em both, but can only afford
: one. In my collection my two favorite
: watches are my 1965 Rolex Sub, and my 1973
: Speedmaster Pro. Should I just split the
: difference and get the newer version. Anyone
: out there dislike the skeleton hands model?
: Any imput is greatly appreciated.
