Re:"Tet, post: 752743,
I'm still surprised by how often people seem to be unsure of their own judgement - we get quite a few posts which ask for an opinion on what should be their next watch purchase, (OK, sometimes this is just a rhetorical device). When considering and then buying something as strictly unnecessary as a fine Swiss watch, surely that should be driven by a well-considered personal-aesthetic-informed decision process? Otherwise, we could see a situation where products do well, even if mediocre, because of noisy, proactive advocates who influence sheep-like consumers; (Range Rovers and such-like spring to mind!) I still feel that happened with the Silver Snoopy, which, while be lauded by some and chased up to incredible resale value, I thought to be one of the least attractive Speedmaster models yet produced.
I appreciate that seeing a watch 'in the flesh' is necessary before finally taking the plunge, but with the excellent pics so far posted here (thanks to the members who've done that) it's surely clear that the ST is a really good looking variant, distinctive but nicely understated, i.e. not flashy!
