lol, alrighty then!

So, if you want a high-quality diver less than $4K, what do you choose?

Does it have to be new?

Absolutely not! SMP is a great competitor.

Do you have any thoughts to share on why you prefer it?

Better movement than the Tudor, I won't ever buy another watch with the 2824 because I've had 4 break down on me so I just can't bring myself to buy another. I also don't like the snowflake hands, I could live with them but just not a favorite. Non fully indexed bezel doesn't work for me either, important to me.

i don't like the hour hand on the seiko but could overlook it if the watch weren't so thick. An excellent watch but not wearable for me.

SMP cost a lot less and a extremely proven movement, low profile and light weight so it can be worn 24-7, it has, in my opinion, the best designed non-locking bezel and a great bracelet. I don't like the co-ax movement but if I were looking for a new watch and felt like I could trust it the new bond style SMPc would be at the top of my list.

everyone has their own criteria.
