we like it! Informative and within the borders of the issue. Thank you.

Take care, New2

: Both are very durable. The quartz version is probably the
: better bet if you are rough and particularly active. But
: you would be best off to NOT wear your nice watch while
: doing particularly rough activities. Get a cheap Casio to
: wear those times.

: It is a bad idea to try to alter a watch in that way. It costs
: money, may be hard to get done (Omega will not do it),
: voids your warranty, AND dramatically reduces the value of
: the watch. You are much better off buying a model closer to
: what you want!

: The skeleton hands are pretty easy to read in the dark. But if
: they bother you, you might want to buy the Seamaster GMT
: instead or wait until early next year when the new models
: come out. There should be more options to choose from then
: that use the new dial and hands style.
