In Response To: Seamaster Help ()

: I am looking to buy a seamaster blue dial
: midsize soon. I am still thinking about what
: type of movement I want. Can someone please
: send me a few sugestions and a few good
: dealers that have good prices and are
: authorized.

A year ago, I bought the full-size (it does matter!) auto, black/black. In my opinion, it is a great every day use watch. In the beginning, I too was focused on the sec. /day fast or slow. Now I know that it runs -1 sec a day, so no problems.
As for the service, my dealer told me that the service intervals (4 year?) are merely "commercial"
He said: "if the watch runs properly, donīt service it".

I would recommend the auto SMP to everyone who wants to spend al lot of money on a watch/jewel. (And if you do that, donīt talk about the costs of a servce ...)
