2 weeks with bond smp *PIC*

well, it's been 2 weeks with my new 2531.80 SMP..
and i cant say enough good things about it!
the only times it gets removed , are when i take a shower or do the dishes.

at first, it was losing -2 secs/day , now it is about +1.5 to +2 secs/ day. this is compared to my beater watch, a bulova marine star quartz.

i do have to mention that i think the bracelet metal is soft. my watch hasnt touched anything more than my wooden desk or keyboard, and there is a small line already from rubbing against the desk. it could be easily buffed out.... but, i bought this watch to wear and not keep behind a glass dome, so i expect the areas of the watch that touch other objects to show wear....i'm not gonna freak out if the bracelet gets marked. :)

all in all, im quite happy.. and except for the one time i glanced at the wavy dial lines while driving.. and noticed the fast approching ditch, i'll expect to be happy for many, many years!

i hope the photo link works, i have a snap of my bulova and the SMP side by side to show you.
