I do appologize for flying off the handle. I guess it's just tough to be fairly well-off, working for what you earn and have something like this crammed into your cerebrum. Nice watch, but man, I wouldn't have accepted such a gift.

(Just on a large, pulsating topic that I know everybody is wondering: What do your parents do for a living?)

Why Wouldn't you accept the gift?

My Dad: Area51IT Co-Director
My Mum: Fitness Instructor
My Step Dad: owner of The Notleys Golf Club
My Step Mum: Nurse

Nice watch. I would advise not taking it near large lakes. I had a bad experience.

I'll bet your watch doesn't have a Memo mode, though! (kidding..)

Honestly, it's too much money for something you don't need. I wouldn't accept it for moral values.

My Seiko is having some problems, it ticks 2 seconds (one,two,pause,one,two,pause,etc.) at a time now. And it doesn't "remember" the time when I "re-wind" it. Do you think the capacitor has gone bad?

Cant you send it back to seiko?

watches are for telling the time not for telling oneself what one wishes to be.

thanks for that revelation - no one would have ever thought of that on their own...
