New Omega SMP

Recommended Posts

This week I have had two break throughs;

1) I found a 'close up' option on my sisters camera phone = slighty better pics :bangin:

2) I bought a genuine SMP Auto :1a:

The Watch

I feel it doesn't need much of an introduction. It is a legend among many divers, as well as many Bond fans. It was originally worn by Pierce Brosnan, and it also appears in the new Casino Royale, being worn by Daniel Craig. It is the full size automatic version

Compared to my rep SMP Chrono

I used to have the SMP Chrono (currently on its way to Lazarini) I must admit, in comparison to the gen, the look and feel is very close. The three main comments I would make are;

1) The bracelet feels much better on the gen. It is more free, however, a little lubricant on the rep bracelet could possibly fix this

2) The lume - by god does this thing glow!!!

3) The dial - The wave pattern is certainly more prominent in sunlight than on the replica

Thoughts

I have wanted to buy this watch for a long time. There was something about it that drew me in. It is fairly simple looking, the cult image, but overall it is just such a versatile watch. You can wear it with almost anything. As for comfort, it is darn close to the Aerospace, which I believe to this day is the most comfortable watch available.

Anyway, I didn't want to write too much, just to post a few pics of it;

I believe this watch could be a rather good investment in the long run, too. They're now producing the SMP only with the Co-Axial movement, and many people aren't too crazy about the lower bph. I suspect the classic Bond Seamaster might get more valuable in the preowned market.

Anyway... this is a great classic. Congrats!
