Re: What about the GMT?
In Response To: Re: What about the GMT? ()

I may be wrong, but I do not think the new Bond Co-Axial SMP will have a dispay back, like you this is a feature that is a "must have" for my next watch. I have a Seiko Kinetic (that I have not worn since my SMP arrived) that has a display back and I found myself always taking the watch off and looking at it.
I am just assuming the new Bond SMP will not have a display back, because I think the price again would be higher than $400.00, I think that is the cost to switch to the Co-Axial technology.
Just my 2 cents...Though if the new Bond SMP has a display back it may make it more difficult to purchase the GMT at the $3400 price tag...but I do like the 24 hour markings and the extra hand (time) it can keep, it would make it that much easier to call friends out west.
