    But what if a shark eats him. Will it be able to crush or damage the case? Would it survive the old Timex test? Where's John Cameron Swayze when we need him.

    By the way Seiko is releasing a new model in the coming weeks which will automatically reset time according to GPS signals.

    You don't have to seek through the piles. The Scuba tanks are usually not that hard to see. [End ]

    I normally wear my Cartier Pasha-C, but lately I find myself wearing my Tourneau 18k Rose Gold dual time:

    Awesome you still have those. I've seen the gold model before, and really like it. How do they hold up in terms of reliability and robustness, could you just wear them everyday if you wanted?
