While I’m at work I take my watch off and put it in my pocket so it doesn’t get full of crap like grease and other food like crap. The thing I did that was stupid last week was I left it in my pocket when I did the laundry. It got washed, so I imagine that it got all nice and clean and although it was a water proof watch I don’t think it was designed for the next step in laundry washing, the dryer. Yup, it went into the dryer and that was the last of it. It got so hot, it blew it’s back off.

So now here I am looking for a replacement, and when it comes to buying a watch, I’m very picky, and those $5 jobbies are something you’ll never catch me wearing.

I also noticed that my Dads B-day is approaching too and he is the type of guy that is picky with watches too. He is actually more picky than I am and is really into Time accuracy. He is always making sure it is set to the exact second when the CBC Radio time synchronization test comes on all the time everyday.

So I’ve been spending some time online doing some window shopping and have been looking through these Seiko Watches that are all very nice. Although some of them are kinda out of my price range, there are still a few that are, and look really nice too. The Seiko SNA107 is something that I think Dad would like. I still haven found one that catches my eye yet, but I’ll keep looking.

I spent a lot of time just in the Seiko Watches category of this site. I’ve never seen such a long list of styles for just one brand of watches. I’ll be fighting with myself trying to make a decision on just one for myself, and yet there are five different brands to go snooping through. Sigh…
Someone once asked me why I would be willing to spend that kind of money on just a watch, and I tell them that you can’t get a 3 year warranty on a $5 K-Mart watch and when you are the type of person that washes theirs in the dryer is always nice to have it under warranty. Plus they’re a lot nicer and accurate.

I’ve always found that you get what you pay for. Cheap things seem to last for a very short time and when you think about the long term, it just makes sense money wise to buy it once rather than several times a year. But that’s just my opinion, and you’re entitled to it.

Wow how time flies! I better get some work done.
