Re: Seamaster losing prestige

In Response To: Seamaster losing prestige ()

I have to agree with Mr. Ziglar. I've had my Bond SMP auto for about 7 months now, and the only time I've seen another one on someone else's wrist was during a flight to Pittsburgh (I happened to notice the bracelet of the watch on a gentleman in the row across from me, so I can't even say for sure it was the exact same model as mine). Further, even James Bond fans who are friends of mine don't know I'm wearing the Bond watch unless I tell them.

Lastly, even at 40% off of retail, the quartz version sells for over $800. This is not a watch that everyone and thier brother can afford, so it is definitely not a watch for the masses.
