In Response To: Re: Built to last?? ()

Thank you for replying to my question.
Derek,
As always your site is wonderful,as is your support for a novice like me.
Thank you again!!

: Unless you are something like a construction
: worker--any current Omega model should be
: plenty more than durable for your daily use.

: While the Seamasters are in heavier cases than
: the Speedmasters (which creates a perception
: of them being heavier duty) they really are
: about the same on durability. They all meet
: the same standard for shock-resistance.

: so my suggestion is to get the Speedmaster--as
: that is mor different than your 'dres;
: watch. Rather redundant to have two almost
: identical watches when you could have more
: variety!
