ParticipantBoth the Hamilton and the Casio keep better time than the Omega. Not by much, mind you, but they do. The Omega is a Swiss Automatic Movement and it is a beautiful watch, but in terms of accuracy, my $200 Casio is better.
Sounds like it needs to be adjusted.. How old is the Omega, and is the error consistent (ie: either short or long on time)? The real problem is finding someone who can adjust it, meaning really knows as opposed to saying they know.. Which SeaMaster by they way.
Interesting thing about the Hamilton Watch Company.. it is now owned by a Swiss company. Hamilton Watch Company also manufactured Railroad watches ‘back in the day’.

Participantin Italy for 30 years under the Borgias they had warfare, terror, murder, and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, and the Renaissance. In Switzerland they had brotherly love – they had 500 years of democracy and peace, and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock.
The Swiss produced some of the best surveying instruments ever made in terms of accuracy, repeatability, portability and stability. They were so good that they decimated the US surveying instrument manufacturers (The US had several at the time) and there was a hefty import tax on the Swiss instruments. Look up the companies Wild Heerbrugg and Kern. They only got partially displaced when electronic systems came available. Those two companies later merged into Leica (also a Swiss brand) which was initially known for high quality large aperture lenses (ie: f1.2 50mm).
Swiss mechanical watches and timepieces were known for their accuracy and stability (that is why ‘Swiss movement’ was so important in watches). This part of their market evaporated when electronic watches became available from Japan.

ParticipantTechnically, he didn’t lie because there are no sexual intercourse, hence no sex.
So you are also trying to redefine how you define the word ‘is’?? Phone sex does not have intercourse with the one on the other end.. Oral sex does not have standard genital penetration.. yet is it called sex… Oy vey.
Congress should have left this as a business between Paula Jones and Bill Clinton.
I would agree, except when a sitting president uses his office to subvert justice for personal gain or reasons… which fits what Clinton was doing.

ParticipantClinton had sex and he lied about it to cover up his affair. Sure he lied, but if nobody had asked about the trysts then he would not have had to lie.
Actually, that is not what Clinton was being impeached for. It was for using his office for subverting justice in the Paula Jones affair. The truth behind the affair was significant enough that it cost Clinton $850,000 and his law license.. details that the mainstream media seems to completely miss. The mainstream media seems to always get caught up in the sex and scandal (because it sells copy?) and ignores the facts..
