Re: Seamaster: Tool or art watch?

Helo there, I have the steel chronograph with steel bezel, and the main reason to buy an omega seamaster professional chrono diver (what an enourmous name for a watch, was: to wear it everywhere, every day. I am not an 00 field agent, just a detective in a german vice squad, but why to buy a professional watch, when not to wear it in tough surroundings?? I never put my Omega off, not while I am sleeping, swimming, riding or doing little jobs around my house or my stables. The few times I changed the seamaster with a citizen quartz I was afraid off scratching it to hard, while I did some real heavy work at my fence with almost 100kg heavy wooden poles. In almost all other situations that I can stand, my watch will be besides me (like a good gun she should stand that). The great look of my steel on steel (not very Bondi) fits to all clothes and styles I wear. I am just sometimes a bit afraid that people recognize it as a bit expensive when I am at a not very well dressed undercover job, but most of my customers canīt see the difference between a swatch and a patek phillippe.

On the other hand my omega just gives me a good feeling when I feel her little weight and every time I look at her, I fall in love again.

Please apologize my poor english, your Chris
