Oh this reminds me..

the other Day I was paying a toll on 355 and the toll booth dude reaches out his left hand and had a amazingly new Rolex Sub with date on. I reached out my hand to give him change and said "nice Sub". he looks at me and said "nice Navi" and let me go without paying the Toll..


my friend in the car looks at me and said "so thats why you dont have an i-pass"


stupid but funny...

i need to work in a toll booth!

a friend of mine looked at my omega and said "that dosnt really look like an omega" well, big deal, its curious when you have a series that out of the ordinary, people arent acustom to seeing a seamaster that dosnt have the diving timer ring,

and also quite important, congrats on beating cancer,

Since people are posting pics of their dive watches, here is my Omega Seamaster Pro midsize...
SeMP2.jpg

I've had it for over 5 years now and it still is accurate to +/- 2 seconds per day, well within chronometer specs. Mine has the "Bond" bracelet which Omega no longer pairs with the black dial/black bezel. They now come with the "Speedy" bracelet as pictured in the above post, so mine is kind of a collector's item.

Thank you all for your kind comments regarding the completion of my cancer treatment! I appreciate all of your positive thoughts.

Back to watches: My Seamaster 2254.50 is here! It is great! Great (used) condition. It has matching serial numbers on the lugs and warranty card - it was originally bought from an authorized dealer less than a year ago. I love the size, style, comfort, and everything about it. It is running +6 seconds after 3 days.

I seem to have a trend going here: My wife bought me a Speedmaster Pro three years ago after I completed my PhD in physics. Now I buy myself a Seamaster Pro after completing cancer treatment. So I guess with every major life event I get another Omega

Not really, I'm done with watches for a while

Well, heres mine,

sorry about the picture, my mother has my digicam right now, so i had to use my webcam,



for a cleaner picture, go to the 1988 Omega Seamaster multifunction on this webpage

http://www.pmwf.com/Watches/OmegaTable.htm

the only thing that makes me uneasy about this watch is that its very "electronic" insted of a good old fashion mechanic movement, and it allready has 15 years on it, so im not sure how much the electronics will last and how much time omega will have replacement parts for this watch,

I'll say, it is absolutely true...you really won't appreciate a Grand Seiko until you hold one in your hands. I was a bit underwhelmed by its simplistic appearance at first upon opening the box. But looking closely, it's undeniable that the Grand Seiko is incredibly well finished. Polished surfaces are polished to an insane mirror gleam, and brushed surfaces are brushed very finely. I was surprised to find that even the sides of the clasp are highly polished, and the inside of the clasp itself is also brushed to a much finer degree than I've ever seen in any other watch maker's clasp. This is normally a part most other watch makers don't bother to detail very well being it's hardly ever seen, yet Seiko went the extra mile to highly finish even the inside of the clasp. Viewed from a distance, the entire watch has a very brilliant, diamond-like sparkle to it. Really a beautiful and stunning watch.
