In Response To: Don't worry, you'll be fine. *PIC* ()

: The strap will not be too thin for the SMP.
: It's very rugged. It's also quite broad and
: looks really good on the wrist. A big watch
: with a wide strap, what more can a man ask
: for? ;-)

: As for the spring bars, I don't think that the
: forces are greater than with a
: "regular" strap. And there a nice
: addition: If one spring bar happens to give
: up the ghost, the watch is held by the
: other. (See pic below.) That's a bonus as
: opposed to a strap. Then again, on the stock
: Omega bracelet the spring bar is so tightly
: fitted that I can hardly imagine it
: breaking, and maybe that's the case with the
: Omega rubber straps as well.

: The buckle is less flimsy than it looks, BTW.

Hah,hah...Give up the ghost...I throw myself away, that is really the hammer. If I hadnīt such a thick cranium because I gave myself the edge last night, I would laugh me broken....Greetings from AC...
