Strange world

I was just thinking. I love Omegas, mostly for the looks and the feeling to wear them. But if you were to pick the ultimate watch in function and reability, what would it be then? Propably a quartz, more exact and can handle a rough treatment. The watch also should be light but also strong. You propably want it to be waterproof, and of course you don't want to spend to much money on it. All of these things considered, I guess a Casio G-shock is a good choise. Cheap, exact, strong, waterproof, light... Ugly, maby. Without a soul, no doubt about that....

I just bought a SMP black. So expensive I have to pay for an insurance, not very fragile, but the fact that it's so expensive makes me treat it like a baby. Not very exact as it is an automatic. You should take it of then you play golf and do other tuffer activities. It cost 17 times as much as the Casio...

Strange world.
