Re: 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.

Thanks so much to all of you for your feedback. (By the way, awesome picture Mark!)

I still haven't quite made up my mind but it will be one of the two for sure. I am totally sold on Omega quality and the uniqueness they offer. Both of these Seamasters look great!

I'll let you know what I ultimately decide. May be decided by a flip of the coin, who knows?
