Re: Bond SMP Weight
In Response To: Bond SMP Weight ()

: Does the weight of the Bond SMP bother anyone
: else, or is it just me?

I like my watches to be on the heavier side which makes me feel as if they are more rough and robust.

A few weeks ago I removed the bracelet of my blk/blk SMP in favor of a black ridged rubber strap.
I feel very comfortable with this rubber strap and IMO it is also very nice on the aesthetic point of view. The only con I feel about it is the lack of the bracelet's weight. The SMP w/rubber strap is just too light for me. However it seems that I'm getting used to it and don't think of switching back soon.

Regards, Baruch.
