Hello all - a lurker has joined. Learned much here, thanks.
I have had my SMP 2254.50 for 8 months now and I love it - can't imagine a time when it will not be on my wrist. A couple of things I've learnt are:
- I am lucky - if I keep the watch on my wrist 24 hours a day, it will keep astoundingly good time - losing a fraction of a second per day mostly. Interestingly, if I take it off at night it gains about a second or two per night. This means I can regulate it easily and precisely. I dread having to get this one serviced - it will be hard to duplicate this regulation! I wonder if others have found this to be true?
- I read somewhere that the green synthetic abrasive found as kitchen scourers (the original version called Scotchbrite I think) is the thing to use to remove scraches and marks on the satin parts of the strap, like the clasp. Used dry and being careful to move it only 'with' the original satin texture, never across it, this works so good. After cleaning up the clasp (I am a bit heavy on it wear-wise) it looks like new every time. I keep a little piece in my wallet!
Happy and peaceful Christmas folks.
Roger
