Re: NEW SMP BRACELET...
In Response To: Re: NEW SMP BRACELET... ()

: If it is only a matter of taste I like the new one and have it on my new smp gmt. I have a rolex and it doesn't look like a oyster copy to me.

The Bond-style SMP was always a subtle
: stylistic rebel in the watch world.
: Conservative enough to march in the same
: crowd while still adding a bit of flair
: through the style of the bracelet, the
: skeleton hands, and using navy blue and
: never black. That unique character was what
: drew me to the watch.

: The addition of the new style SMPs to the line
: was, I believe, an attempt to appeal to the
: much more traditional crowd. So certainly
: they resemble other more traditional
: watches. That is their intent, not a flaw.

: Both styles are highly appealing. But the 'new'
: style is appealing in a very traditional
: way, while the Bond style appeals in a
: conservatively unconventional way.
