Non Americas Cup SMP...a good buy? | Thread profile

Now, this isn\'t so much a "Tell me what to buy" thread as a "Give me general advice" thread! First of all I have fairly slim wrists (approx 6.25" / 6.5"). I am looking for an everyday watch to wear for work etc. Work for me involves visiting various sites and homes to measure and survey for disabled lift platforms. This is not generally a rough and tumble job but can involve some ...

Reminds me of my father shopping for cars years ...

You\'ve already talked yourself into a full-sized Black SMP. Since you are concerned about the circumference of your wrist, get the mid-sized 2252.50.00. The Omega 1120 movement is about as good as it gets for any automatic watch anyway. The money you will save by not buying the over-touted coaxial can buy you and your bride a great weekend at a B and B out of town. You left off a choice on ...

I love my non-AC. I don\'t wear it as much as I\'d like (It\'s a bit dressy and I find my PO a bit more suitible most days) but it\'s a fantastic watch. It\'s got everything good about the 2054 but with a bit more oomph. I\'d go for it, they\'re quite uncommon too so they may be a collector\'s piece one day...
