In Response To: Decisions...Decisions... ()

I have the black/black, my wife has the bond (hers is mid-size). Both watches are great, and I'm torn apart between them:

- The bond has a great design, looks bigger than it is, but may be too goudy for some occasions. It makes a clear statement about the money you've had to plunk down for it. Everyone knows the seamaster from the movies.

- The black/black is more of a classic diving watch. It's more contrasty, it's sporty, it's unpretentious. No bystander will ever suspect that the watch on your wrist was rather expensive, or even recognize it as a seamaster. I like mine, but I must confess that there were times when I could hardly stand the huge numbers on the bezel. I like the flexibility the black color offers, as it makes changing straps easy.

Which one to get is purely a design decision, that you'll have to make on your own.
