Nicely done. You might not have diamonds in your pocket any more, but for them to be small might not have helped you that much, and it would have really hurt the business you frequent, so good going taking them back. And I guarantee they won't forget you.

The Sea Dweller only comes in one flavor: black & stainless steel. The Submariner can be dressed up with gold and shit like that. The new Sea Dweller which is called the Deep Sea is massive in both girth and width, and is rated to 12,800-ft depth.

You haven't seen my wrists.

A 40mm is big on me.

IIRC the Sub is also only available in black if you want stainless. To get a blue dial you have to go with the gold or the two tone. They did have a green edition avaialble but I think it was an anniversary deal.

I don't care about it being 100% OEM. When I get around to it, it will be stainless with a blue dial and bezel installed after the fact.

Remember the other thread about guilt and motorcycle money? Reason #1 for the Seiko I currently wear.

You're too kind. The collection ain't all that shit hot. The Sea Dweller and the Seamaster are good watches but the two Seikos and the shitty Tag aren't all that great.

Omega...have you ever owned a Pulsar? Collecting "junky" watches was one of my goofy hobbies when I was in the service...

I would have returned the diamonds also, but Im not gonna lie, I would have accepted the gift certificate. Im all for doing the right thing, but I have a hard time turning down free stuff that gets offered to me (unless its stupi and/or worthless).

I don't see anything wrong with that. Not that anyone deserves any special treatment to do the right thing, but if someone offered me something as a token of gratitude I'd take it...

That being said, keeping the diamonds would be about worthless anyway... I mean, where the fuck are you going to sell diamonds? Could you imagine the look on their faces if you walked up in Kay Jewelers and asked the chick behind the counter how much you could get for 'deez rocks'?

"Hello police? Yeah, I got something for you..."
