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

I've got to agree with the comments made that both are great watches and not at all common.
I was in the same quandary as your self exactly
12 months ago and ended up with the blk/blk. The ownership experience has proved every bit as enjoyable as the anticipation. However 6 months
later I could resist the urge no longer and purchased the Bond - no I haven't got loads of
cash but the bug had truely bitten!
I have no regrets, both are everything I could have wished for in an upmarket sporting watch. The problem I now have of course is which one to put on in the morning - tough decision indeed :)
IMHO I find the Bond the dressier of the duo and very definately unique. The blk/blk feels more sporting (from my desk top divers point of view)particualy with the Speedie style (standard in the UK) bracelet. Incidently apart from the obviously identical case the cosmetic differences are endless, and I long ago gave up trying to count them!
What ever, only you can make the choice and talking from my experience which ever way you go you won't be disappointed. Good luck.
